Connecting Dropbox

The main window keeps everything one glance away: tabbed profiles at the top, your folder tree on the left, the file list in the centre and a live preview on the right.

• Multiple profiles/tabs — a different workspace for each context.
• Drag a folder straight from Windows Explorer or the Desktop into the tree to add it.

Click TREE to open Folders + Registry, where you manage what appears in your side tree. To add a cloud or a server, click + Remote Folder.

• Mix local folders, Windows Registry keys and remote connections in one tree.
• Reorder, rename and annotate each root.

The Remote access window lists every connection type — SFTP, FTP, FTPS, WebDAV and clouds (Dropbox, OneDrive), with S3 and rclone on the way. Click Dropbox.

• One window for every protocol; manage, reconnect or remove connections here.
• Cloud connections require PREMIUM; your activation Machine ID is shown at the bottom.

Before any remote is added, ExplorerFocus tells you exactly how it works, then asks you to confirm. Click OK.

• Everything stays on your computer — no app server is involved.
• Credentials are encrypted with Windows DPAPI; you sign in on the provider's own site.
• The app connects directly to your cloud/server and only does what you ask — deletes are real.

Your default browser opens Dropbox's official OAuth page. Because the app is new and still has a small number of users, Dropbox shows a heads-up — click Continue.

• Authentication happens entirely on dropbox.com — the app never sees your password.

Review what the app requests — edit and view your Dropbox files, plus basic account info — then click Allow.

• Access is limited to your own account only.
• You can revoke it anytime from Dropbox → Connected apps.

Your Dropbox now appears in the tree and expands like any folder — Camera Uploads, Photos, and the rest. The address bar shows the live dropbox:// path.

• Browse the cloud exactly like a local drive — expand, navigate, search.
• Folders and files load on demand as you open them.

The connection is saved in Remote access. Reconnect, edit, reorder or remove it whenever you like.

• Reconnects automatically on next launch (refresh token kept encrypted with DPAPI).
• Run several connections side by side under PREMIUM.

Select any file for a built-in preview — no need to download it first.

• Images, Markdown and PDF render inline.
• Text and code are syntax-highlighted, with brace/tag folding to collapse blocks.

Right-click for the works — your cloud files behave just like local ones.

• Open, edit, open-with, rename, copy/cut, move, delete.
• Download to your PC or upload files and whole folders to the cloud.
• Edit-in-place: open a cloud file, edit it, and changes sync back on save.
