Unable to create an App

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create an App.

After clicking on "Cre=eate an App" & etc. I get to the page with:

 

Create a new app on the DBX Platform

1. Choose an API
...

 

However, the "Create app" button on the bottom right is inactive.

 

Do I need a Developer account or something ?  (I have a personal account).

 

Thanks !

    You don't need any special kind of account to create an app; any kind of account can do so.

     

    I just gave it a try, and it is working for me. The "Create app" button gets enabled once I select scoped access, pick an access type, enter an app name, and check the checkbox to agree to the terms (if not previously done on the account). Then, submitting successfully created the app.

     

    If that's still not working for you, can you let me know:

    • the name and version number of the browser you're using
    • which of the steps outlined above do/don't work
    • any errors/output you get in the JavaScript console when doing so

    Thanks!

      Duh !  Didn't realize what I had to do.... even though the instructions are quite specific.

       

      Thanks for the quick detailed reply.
