When you login to Workplace Search, you have to enter the URL in your browser. If you launched via Elastic Cloud and you just clicked a link to go to Workplace Search, you can grab the hostname from your browser's URL bar. ---

@avetik thanks for the screenshots, I can see what's going wrong. I think you've misunderstood what a "hostname" is, and how to get it from a URL. You can read about the various parts of a URL [here in the wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL#Syntax). In our [dropbox documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-dropbox-connector.html), in Step 5, we specify: ```auto Within OAuth 2 and Redirect URIs, add the following two redirect URIs, substituting with the base URL at which Workplace Search is hosted (scheme + host, no path). /ws/org/sources/dropbox/create /ws/sources/dropbox/create Examples: # Deployment using a custom domain name https://www.example.com/ws/org/sources/dropbox/create https://www.example.com/ws/sources/dropbox/create # Deployment using a default Elastic Cloud domain name https://8905d44eb30e4d56a1acc41bde14c847.ent-search.us-east-1.aws.cloud.es.io/ws/org/sources/dropbox/create https://8905d44eb30e4d56a1acc41bde14c847.ent-search.us-east-1.aws.cloud.es.io/ws/sources/dropbox/create ``` The key bit there is `(scheme + host, no path)`. From the error that Dropbox is giving, it looks like you've included the "path", which in this case would have been `/ws#/org`. Let us know if you run into other issues. 🙂 ---
