    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1362550"&gt;@RudyVDW&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for messaging the Community!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Currently, it isn't possible to sync an external drive to Dropbox, without using the Dropbox folder or the Dropbox desktop application.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;However, there may be a third party app or service that can help with this matter. Additionally, you'd need to use selective sync again on the new folder created to prevent the external drive syncing to the Dropbox folder.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;If you need any further assistance, please let me know!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Syncing a folder directly on to Dropbox.com without using the Dropbox App on the PC</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Syncing-a-folder-directly-on-to-Dropbox-com-without-using-the/m-p/464065#M23746</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have already a Selective Sync set on my PC to Dropbox for certain folders.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, I want to keep operating a separate external drive directly to dropbox.com &lt;U&gt;without the use of the Dropbox App&lt;/U&gt; because I want to avoid all those files to end up on my PC file explorer (limiting my memory capacity) as is the case when using the App.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'd appreciate some advise on how to proceed.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your answer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In fact, when trying to use my App "Allways Sync" it tells me that I need to obtain an Oauth from Dropbox to proceed (Open Authorization).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have sent a request to DropBox contact and waiting for the reply.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As this is referring to an API request, I've moved your request to the API forum for the team there to assist.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1362550"&gt;@RudyVDW&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;If you're an end-user of a third party app, such as&amp;nbsp;"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&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API.)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
