Build your own Dropbox Extensions

This post introduces the Dropbox Extensions platform, a new capability that allows third-party developers to create entry points into their applications directly from Dropbox files. It details the user experience, the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow, and the configuration process for developers, including setting the Extension URI and selecting necessary API scopes (e.g., files.metadata.read). The post highlights how file references are passed to developer applications via the API, enabling actions like downloading or getting file metadata.
