New created app does not appear in Dropbox Folder

Hi, I have created 3 different app (App Console > Create App > entered the name etc.) it displays in the console but not in my desktop. Is there a step I am missing?

In both of the cases you mention, the app shows up in the App Console (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps). If a user links an app (by going through the OAuth flow), then the app will also show up in the user's list of apps (https://www.dropbox.com/account/security).

When a user first link an App folder app, a folder gets created in that user's Dropbox, at a location like Dropbox/Apps/<app name>. For other app permissions, no folder will be created.

It looks like you pasted some sort of error in your last post. When and where are you seeing that error message?
