How to change application access type

Hoang Tran

HI all,

I have created an app that enables to access to Dropbox with access type "App folder – Access to a single folder created specifically for your app.".

Now I want to change the application permission to access type "Full Dropbox– Access to all files and folders in a user's Dropbox."

How can I do that? I do not see any Edit function to change application permission. please give me any idea?

Thanks and best regards!

It's not currently possible to switch the permission on an existing app.

If you want to switch the permission for an app in development mode, you can do so by deleting the current app and registering another with the desired permission. Deleting an app in development mode frees up the name so you can register it again. Once you do, just be sure to update your app accordingly to use the new permission as well as the new app keys.

If your app is already in production, we do not recommend disabling your app, as it would break the integration for existing users. Instead, we recommend you register another API app for the other permission and add that as an option in your app.
