title: Add Dropbox as a social connection description: Learn how to allow users to sign up and sign in to your Clerk app with their Dropbox account using OAuth.

<TutorialHero beforeYouStart={[ { title: "A Clerk application is required.", link: "/docs/getting-started/quickstart/setup-clerk", icon: "clerk", }, { title: "A Dropbox Developer account is required.", link: "https://www.dropbox.com/developers", icon: "user-circle", } ]} />

Enabling OAuth with Dropbox allows your users to sign up and sign in to your Clerk application with their Dropbox account.

Configure for your development instance

For development instances, Clerk uses preconfigured shared OAuth credentials and redirect URIs—no other configuration is needed.

1. In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the SSO connections page.
2. Select Add connection and select For all users.
3. In the Choose provider dropdown, select Dropbox.
4. Select Add connection.

Configure for your production instance

For production instances, you must provide custom credentials.

To make the setup process easier, it's recommended to keep two browser tabs open: one for the Clerk Dashboard and one for your Dropbox App Console.

<Steps> ### Enable Dropbox as a social connection

1. In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the SSO connections page.
2. Select Add connection and select For all users.
3. In the Choose provider dropdown, select Dropbox.
4. Ensure that both Enable for sign-up and sign-in and Use custom credentials are toggled on.
5. Save the Redirect URI somewhere secure. Keep this modal and page open.

Configure your Dropbox app

1. In the Dropbox App Console, select a project or create a new one.
2. On your app's Settings page, save the App key and App secret somewhere secure.
3. In the Redirect URIs input, paste the Redirect URI value you saved from the Clerk Dashboard and select Add.

Set the App Key and App Secret in the Clerk Dashboard

1. Navigate back to the Clerk Dashboard where the modal should still be open. Paste the App key and App secret values that you saved into the respective fields.
2. Select Add connection.

[!NOTE] If the modal or page is not still open, navigate to the SSO connections page in the Clerk Dashboard. Select the connection. Under Use custom credentials, you can paste the values into their respective fields.

Test your connection
