Connect
Open Customize → Connectors and turn on Dropbox. Dropbox's own page asks you to allow Neutropic access to your files; approve and you land back with your Dropbox e-mail shown. Tokens are stored encrypted on the server and refreshed automatically; Disconnect deletes them (you can also remove the app under Dropbox → Settings → Apps).
Permissions, tool by tool
