Step 3: Enter Your Dropbox Login Credentials

Enter your Dropbox login credentials in the popup and grant access to CloudFuze. CloudFuze requires access to your Dropbox account to migrate the content. Please keep in mind that we don’t store your login information. CloudFuze uses OAuth protocol to access your Dropbox account and the platform will not be able to read your data like a human.
