Is it possible to use the dropbox chooser on a desktop app? (node-webkit)

Dane E.

Hi,

I'm developing a node-webkit application which integrates with dropbox. I would love to be able to use the dropbox chooser which is available for web-apps. However, because it's a desktop app, it doesn't have a host/domain name, so I can't register it with dropbox to grant it permission. Hence, when I try to access the dropbox-chooser, I get the "Invalid Origin" error. 

Does anyone know of any workaround for this situation? I would love to be able to seamlessly integrate dropbox into my app like how I could do it with dropbox chooser.

Thanks!

nwjs (formerly node-webkit) lets you set the domain of your app to whatever you want. See http://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/References/Manifest Format/#domain.

In short, add "domain": "domain-you-want" to your manifest.json, and then add "domain-you-want" as an allowed domain with your Chooser app. I did this and then found the Chooser worked fine.
