Step 6: After your app is successfully created, navigate to the design page. To do this, click on the Design tab found among the tabs near the top of the screen.
Step 7: You are now going to include a visual element in your app. Click on the plus (+) sign at the top-left corner of the design page. This will show you a drop-down list of elements you can add.
Step 8: Scroll down through the list to find the Visual Element option. Click on it to open a side menu with more options. From this side menu, select Picture Uploader.
Step 9: You will now be able to draw a picture box on the page. Click and drag to create a box of the desired size.
Step 10: Having created the picture box, you can now look at the Property Editor panel on the right side of your screen.
Step 11: Scroll down to the section titled Start Upload on Page Load. Here, you will want to check the DROPBOX checkbox.

Step 19: In the page that appears, find and select Bubble, and enter in your App ID (a unique identifier bubble gives each app on creation).
