Certificate Pinning with v2 API

Does the v2 API support certificate pinning automatically, or is it an option? What I know about pinning other than the basics can fit on the head of a pin. The last full discussion I found on the forums here was from 2015. Any help/guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

The official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK does implement certificate pinning. You can find information on that in the DropboxCertHelper documentation, and an example of using it here.

Whether or not you get certificate pinning automatically will depend on how you're calling the API. For example, some of the official Dropbox API SDKs certificate implement pinning for you.

If you're not using one of the SDKs, you should refer to the documentation for whatever library you're using, if any. If you're calling the Dropbox API HTTPS endpoints directly and want certificate pinning, you'd need to implement that.

You can find the list of certificates for the Dropbox API here.

Thanks Greg! I'm using the "Official Dropbox .Net v2 SDK". Nothing fancy on my end - just built it out starting from your online examples. Am I good to go?
