Javascript - One button which does something like html2pdf then upload to dropbox

Ideally I would like a setting page to contain the dropbox usr pw details so that once entered, the end user of the web app does not need to enter them.  Is there a code solution for a single button ...

Dropbox offers the Dropbox Saver, which can be used to save file(s) from a web app to the end-user's Dropbox account. You can find information on using that here. It does not offer a way to convert an HTML page to a PDF file though. The web app would need to produce and supply the particular file data it wants to offer to the user.

 

Alternatively, if the Dropbox Saver isn't sufficient for your use case, you can use the Dropbox API, which offers more functionality, to build your own custom integration. That would require more work though. You can find information on the Dropbox API here.

 

Either way, the third party app should never be handling Dropbox user credentials (such as username and password).
