BlokSec can be configured to support passwordless login to Dropbox.

The BlokSec ↔️ Dropbox integration enables authentication via the SAML protocol. Configuration involves a few simple steps on both the BlokSec admin UI and the Dropbox admin console.

BlokSec Admin UI​

  1. Sign into BlokSec admin UI as a user with admin privileges for your tenant

  2. On the main dashboard, click the Add Application drop-down and select Create From Template, and select Dropbox

  3. Complete the application details as follows and submit:

    • **NameID Source: **Account name

    • Assertion Consumer Service: https://www.dropbox.com/saml_login

  4. Click Submit to save the configuration
