# Dropbox: Configuring the App Activities Integration

This article explains how to configure the App Activities integration for Dropbox.

## Overview

App Activities provides you with an API-based solution for out-of-band visibility of all activity made by any user in a connected SaaS application. To provide App Activities with visibility of data within an app, you need to set up an integration with the required application. Once you create the integration, if a field has changed or expired, you can edit it from the **Resources >Integrations > Integrated Apps** page. For more information, see [What is Application Control via API with App Activities](/v1/docs/what-is-application-control-via-api-with-app-activities).

To configure the App Activities integration, you need to:

1. Log in to your Dropbox account
2. Create the API connector in the CMA

A CASB license is required for App Activities. This license includes [app and data control](/v1/docs/what-is-the-unified-casb-solution) and App Activities via API. For more about purchasing a CASB license, please contact your Cato representative.
