For Duplicacy to access your Dropbox storage, you must provide an access token that can be obtained in one of two ways:
* Create your own app on the [Dropbox Developer](https://www.dropbox.com/developers) page, and then generate the [access token](https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2014/05/generate-an-access-token-for-your-own-account/)
* Or authorize Duplicacy to access its app folder inside your Dropbox (following [this link](https://duplicacy.com/dropbox_start.html)), and Dropbox will generate the access token (which is not visible to us, as the redirect page showing the token is merely a static html hosted by Dropbox). The actual storage folder will be the path specified in the storage url relative to the `Apps` folder.
Update: Dropbox no longer gives out long-lived access tokens and instead only offers long-lived refresh tokens. We checked in a [fix](https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/commit/cde660ee9f528324a3f07305c06cf0951ac0184c) to support authorization based on refresh tokens. This fix will be included in the next release but for now you'll need to build your own CLI. A refresh token can be obtained by
visiting https://duplicacy.com/dropbox_start.

To use Hubic as the storage, you first need to download a token file from https://duplicacy.com/hubic_start by authorizing Duplicacy to access your Hubic drive, and then enter the path to this token file to Duplicacy when prompted.
Hubic offers the most free space (25GB) of all major cloud providers and there is no bandwidth charge (same as Google Drive and OneDrive), so it may be worth a try.
Note that hubic no longer allows the creation of new accounts.
This backend allows you to use Storj, a decentralized storage solution, which offers 150G of storage for free. You can get the
satellite along with the api access key after requesting an Access Grant of the type API Access.
