New created app does not appear in Dropbox Folder

[Sanjay Shah]

Hi,

I have created 3 different app (App Console > Create App > entered the name etc.) it displays in the console but not in my desktop.

Is there a step I am missing?

What exactly were you expecting to show up on your desktop? Creating an app doesn't cause any files or folders to be created.

If the app has "App folder" permissions, then once you (or any other user) link to the app, you'll see an app folder getting created (something like Dropbox/Apps/<app name>).

I have completed this checked on several machines but none of these appear in the Apps folder, could I undertsnad this correctly:

1. Create an app > Dropbox API app > Files and datastores > No > All file Types > myAppName
   where should this new app appear?

2. Create an app > Dropbox API app > Files and datastores > Yes> myAppName
   This appears in the App folder

In both of the cases you mention, the app shows up in the App Console (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps). If a user links an app (by going through the OAuth flow), then the app will also show up in the user's list of apps (https://www.dropbox.com/account/security).

When a user first link an App folder app, a folder gets created in that user's Dropbox, at a location like Dropbox/Apps/<app name>. For other app permissions, no folder will be created.

It looks like you pasted some sort of error in your last post. When and where are you seeing that error message?
