Authenticating Dropbox Web Connection to FME Server?

Hello,

I am trying to authorize a web connection to my Dropbox account on FME Server so that a file can be incrementally uploaded.

In the Dropbox Developer portal, I created an app where I got my client id and client secret. As for my Redirect URI, I tried using http since my server is behind my network’s firewall, but it only let me use https. In my FME Server’s Web Connections, I updated my client information to match what my Dropbox app had. When I tried to authorize it, I got an error saying the site could not be reached.

Is it because my URI is incorrect, and/or if there are other configurations that need to be done?

My colleague mentioned that maybe we have to make the server public. I am not sure.

Thanks!

Hi @nichole,

Dropbox indeed requires the host of the redirect URI to use the https protocol. You can achieve this by configuring FME Server for SSL. FME Server does not need to be publicly accessible.
