Wands (Oracle) 5.10 : Dropbox

Shared Templates allows you to use Dropbox as your file storage Drive.

Setup and Authorization

Before initiating the setup you must identify a single Dropbox.com account that will be used to store all the Shared Templates Drive files for the specific environment. Using the Dropbox option does not require that every user owns and configures a Dropbox.com account with the Shared Templates Drive.

The following setup is only performed once and then enables the use of the Shared Templates Drive for all users.
