    RudyVDW If you're an end-user of a third party app, such as "Allways Sync", that connects to Dropbox, you should not have to manually contact or register anything with Dropbox to set it up. The developer should register the app themselves, and build the ability to connect your account to the third party app. (This would be done by the "OAuth" process you mentioned, which the developer should build into the third party app.) You may wish to contact the developer to ask them to do so. (The third party developer can contact us directly if they're having any issues with the Dropbox API.)
