Authentication with Grant Type Client credentials

Hi, I am developing an Android App which have a Dropbox feature, my problem is that I would like to simplify the authenticaiton process because the App runs in Kiosk mode so we do not really have a web brower when the App is running. I wonder whether the authention Grant Type Client crenditals is supported, so that I can get the token by sending the user credentials to the Dropbox server.

Thank you very much.

No, the Dropbox API doesn't support that grant type, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Thank you Greg, looking forward to that feature.

I've sent this along as a feature request, but to be clear, I can't promise if or when this might be implemented. I'm currently not aware of any plans to add this.

Understood, no problem, thank you.
