SwiftyDropbox and support for multiple accounts

Aibek D.

We're migrating from Dropbox iOS SDK to SwiftyDropbox and we need to support a vital feature: support for multiple accounts. There's not much documentation about that (none, actually).

Typical single-user case which is perfectly handled by Dropbox class, as far as I can see, simply calls similar appropriate methods on DropboxAuthManager.

My questions:

1) Is Dropbox class created only for simplifying interface and can be not used at all in the project? (E.g. not making a call setupWithAppKey(appKey) on app launch)

2) DropboxAuthManager has a singleton property sharedAuthManager. Was it created only to support Dropbox class?

3) Do you have any other advices for multiple accounts support?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback! We certainly should improve the documentation/tutorial to include information about using multiple accounts.

Anyway, I believe Dropbox.authorizeFromController is meant for the use case where there's only a single account.

If you need multiple accounts, you should use DropboxAuthManager.sharedAuthManager.authorizeFromController and DropboxAuthManager.sharedAuthManager.handleRedirectURL. You will always need to supply your app key though, whether or not you want to link one or many accounts.

You can get all of the stored access tokens using DropboxAuthManager.sharedAuthManager.getAllAccessTokens(), and construct a client using whichever one you want using DropboxClient.init.
