Migrating oauth1 to oauth2 using token_from_oauth1
I have been using Dropbox via the Sharpbox toolkit for a while. It's based on oAuth1, so I have a database full of oAuth1 access tokens for my users. I'd like to convert to the new Dropbox API, which is based on oAuth2. I see that there is a "token_from_oauth1" endpoint in Dropbox's v1 spec, but I'm not figuring out how to…
Swift API v2 Example of uploading a file using filesUploadSession(Start, Append, Finish)
I have used the OSX interface in the past for chunked file uploads to support large files. I can not quite figure out the process with the Swift API. Test cases for the API would be great, they would provide examples of usage. In the absence ... do you have any code examples that you can share.

API v2 - /files/download, <video>, https and CORS
Hi, In our app we need direct links with access-control-allow-origin: * header applied. How we can do that in V2 of the api? So far we used 4h-expiring direct links and that was cumbersome due to the expiration, so we hope to get a nicer way with version 2, however seeing /files/download is being handled only via POST or…

SwiftyDropbox: uploading from an asset file
Great next step, thanks! But. (isn't there always?). A [more] common use case for file uploading is asset uploading (image/videos etc). (scheme: assets-library) which won't work with this new code. Yes, you could pick up an 'assets-library to NSInputStream library' (wheee, more code!), but it is simple enough to add it by…
