Dropbox App Credentials

Description

General

Documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/oauth-guide
Summary: Dropbox application credentials are a pair of client id/secret generated for each application a user wants to register in its own Dropbox. This pair will allow to create authorization URLs for the application and exchange short-lived access tokens in order to make API calls.
IPs allowlist: This feature is not available.
Scopes: Dropbox application credentials grant HTTP basic authentication for the corresponding app.

Revoke the secret

There is no direct information on how to change the client id and secret (called "app key" and "app secret" in Dropbox documentation) or ways to do it from the Application console. The best solution is to contact Dropbox support services.

Check for suspicious activity

The application console give access to analytics that can be used to check for suspicious activities.
