# Developer mode

> The switch that unlocks tokens, file uploads, calendar changes and remote automations.



The app stays the same with developer mode on. It only unlocks access tokens. Without it, no token works, not even existing ones.

## Turn it on [#turn-it-on]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open **Settings → Developer**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Read the [API terms of use](/en/termos/termos-da-api), check the acceptance box and tap **Turn on developer mode**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Copy your account ID, shown at the top. It goes in the `X-Paper-Account` header and confirms the token is yours. See [Authentication](/en/api/autenticacao).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Allow Google for the API [#allow-google-for-the-api]

Regular tokens read and write in the real vaults through your Google Drive. For that, the server needs to keep your Google connection.

* **Google Drive for the API**: connect Google in **Sync** and tap **Allow this device's connection for the API**.
* **Calendar for the API**: connect Google Calendar in **Integrations** and tap **Allow the "Paper" calendar for the API**.

The server only acts on your Drive and calendar when one of your tokens is used. Secure tokens need none of this.

## What the mode unlocks [#what-the-mode-unlocks]

| Feature                                              | Without the mode | With the mode                |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Access tokens                                        | Don't work       | Up to 20 active              |
| Reading and writing pages from a program             | No               | Where the token allows       |
| Uploading files through the API                      | No               | Up to 30 per day, 10 MB each |
| Creating and deleting events in the "Paper" calendar | No               | If the token allows          |
| Remote automations (scripts, servers, agents)        | No               | Yes                          |

## When the terms change [#when-the-terms-change]

If the API terms get a new version, your tokens pause until you accept it in **Settings → Developer**. The API answers `403` with a message saying so.

## Turn it off [#turn-it-off]

**Turn off developer mode** revokes all tokens right away, deletes the copies for AI and deletes the Google connection stored on the server. Your notes don't change.

## Banned account [#banned-account]

If the account is banned for violating the terms, all tokens are revoked, published links are taken down and the Google connection stored on the server is deleted. See [Bans and appeals](/en/termos/banimento-e-apelacao).
