Drop-ins App

Once upon a time, you were able to choose between an Drop-ins app and an API app. I'm needing a Drop-ins app in order to correctly install a plugin on my website but I'm not finding this option. Is this option still available?

    You can actually use the Drop-ins with any Dropbox API app key, so you can just register a normal Dropbox API app and use that. The distinct Drop-ins option was removed from the new app creation page for the sake of simplicity.

    (For reference though, the old app creation page is still live here.)

    Thank you Gregory! I couldn't get the API to work via the new app creation page but then I realized I was entering the domain name incorrectly. Once I removed the www, it worked! Thank you!
