> [https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create)

![Dropbox App Creation Page](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202023-01-20%20at%2011.47.42%20AM.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T18%3A58%3A14Z&se=2026-11-12T19%3A58%3A14Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=OYNkdLjM8llPunpoFLV4IJlbwOg5HsGtyt%2B5sponPks%3D)

### Step 2: Complete the steps for creating an app

Complete the form for app creation using the information below, then click **Create app.**

- **Choose an API**: Scoped Access
- **Access Type**: Full Dropbox
- **Name your app**: Provide a logical name for your API connection. Ex: "Clarity App Connector"

![Create New Application form completed](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202023-01-20%20at%2011.48.37%20AM.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T18%3A58%3A14Z&se=2026-11-12T19%3A58%3A14Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=OYNkdLjM8llPunpoFLV4IJlbwOg5HsGtyt%2B5sponPks%3D)

### Step 3: Collect credentials and input redirect URI

After creating the app, you should be brought to the settings page for your new application. Save the App key and app secret for use in a later step. Next, you must fill out the Redirect URI field with the following URL (modified to match your clarity tenant).

> *https://YOUR_TENANT.claritysecurity.io/application/oauthProcessCode/dropbox-business*

The end of the above URL, "dropbox-business" corresponds to the default Unique Identifier for your app, which may be different if you plan to set up connections to multiple Dropbox Business environments.

Unique Identifiers are used by Clarity to differentiate connected applications that are associated with the same product. Example: an environment has two Salesforce environments and two Salesforce connectors. The unique identifiers could be Salesforce-A and Salesforce-B.

A Service User is a user, or service account, discovered by Clarity in a downstream application.

An Entitlement is an assignable permission found in a downstream application. Common examples include licenses, groups, and policies.

Service User Entitlements are the pairings of users and active entitlement access in downstream applications.

An attribute is a piece of information used to describe a service user, entitlement, or identity. Common examples include First Name, Last Name, Job Title, Department, etc.
