You can manage your app's development user limit from the app's page on the App Console: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps You can use enable more user accounts to connect to your app by clicking the "Enable additional users" button, to avoid this error for now, or when ready, you can apply for production using the…

Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like the issue here is that the app you're attempting to authorize has team scopes, but the account you're signing in to is not on a team, and so cannot connect an app with team scopes. Accordingly, you're being prompted to sign in again with a team account in order to connect the app.…

Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you already sorted this out. For reference for anyone else who comes across this, the "Your app is not authorized to use this endpoint" error indicates that the app for the access token you're using to make the call does not have the necessary scope needed for calling that…

@"Simon O.8" Thanks for the feedback! That's correct, the Dropbox Embedder doesn't offer the ability to also upload to the embedded folder, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. You may be interested in using it in conjunction with file requests though.…

I see you're getting the error "Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value" for that line, presumably regarding the "client" variable. This screenshot doesn't show where that variable would be set or unset, but this error indicates that its value is currently nil. Accordingly, attempting to force unwrap it…

No, this isn't in the examples for the SDK. I just wrote that for this thread.

The /oauth2/authorize page and login flow should be working for scoped apps. I just tried it and it is working for me. We'll be happy to look into this, but we'll need some more information. First, can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "nothing responds in the browser"? Feel free to provide screenshots or a…

No, Dropbox doesn't offer a way to specify a particular order or otherwise request only items modified after a certain date from /2/files/list_folder[/continue], but I'll pass these along as feature requests as well. I can't promise if/when they'd be implemented though.

You can make a list of ThumbnailArg and use it to call GetThumbnailBatchAsync like this: var paths = new String[] { "/Photos/1.jpg", "/Photos/2.jpg"}; var thumbnailsArgs = new List<ThumbnailArg> { }; foreach (var path in paths) { thumbnailsArgs.Add(new ThumbnailArg(path: path, format: ThumbnailFormat.Png.Instance)); }…

No, you don't need to change your access token or code if you upgrade.

No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer compression on file downloads/exports like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

After authorization, Dropbox does not provide UI, so you should make the necessary API call(s) and display the results in your app's UI as needed. For listing files and folders, you should use listFolder and listFolderContinue.

As you mentioned, Dropbox has introduced new "scopes" functionality, to enable more granular permissions for API apps. You can find more information on this in our blog post. Using the new scopes functionality is currently optional. You can still create non-scoped ("legacy") apps if you wish, and existing non-scoped apps…

No, you only need to process the app authorization flow once per user (unless they disconnect your app from Dropbox and want to reconnect it again). Once they authorize your app, and your app receives the result via the "Handle redirect back into SDK" step, you shouldn't call authorizeFromController[V2] again. You'll…

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let you know that the Dropbox API now offers "scopes" functionality, which you can use to set specific scopes at authorization time, during the OAuth 2 flow. You can find more information here: https://dropbox.tech/developers/now-available--scoped-apps-and-enhanced-permissions

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63409444/how-to-connect-dropbox-api-to-ios-app-with-swift-5 ] For the "Use of undeclared type 'DropboxOAuthCompletion'" and "Use of unresolved identifier 'ScopeRequest'" errors, it sounds like you probably just have an older version of SwiftyDropbox…

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately, no, we don't currently have a way of supporting this kind of scenario. The Dropbox Chooser page expects to be able to communicate with the original window to return the selected information and then close itself. This unfortunately fails when in this kind of single-window context.…

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let you know that the Dropbox "Extensions" feature is now publicly available. You can find information on it here: https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/extensions-guide

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to access file comments, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

Can you elaborate on what the issue is, or what functionality exactly you need? The "https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitl/1/..." kind of link is already a direct link to the specified file's data. It just doesn't happen to end in the file name/extension, but it does link to the file content. If accessed directly in the…

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let you know about a new feature called "Extensions" you may be interested in. It's a way for third party web applications to register certain file type extensions so that users of the app can easily open files of that type in the app from the Dropbox web site. You can find…

This should be returning the expected error now.

Thanks for writing this up! We appreciate you taking the time to share this. I've sent this along to the team. The latest release of SwiftyDropbox was focused on supporting new features of the Dropbox API itself. While we do expect to do more work on the SDK, we generally don't comment on specific future plans. Plans can…

After the user authorizes on app on Dropbox like this, Dropbox sends the user back to the address specified by the app. In this case, that address is on oauth.polevaultweb.com. This hostname 'oauth.polevaultweb.com' doesn't seem to be registered in DNS, so your browser can't find it. (I also just checked and can confirm it…

Thanks for the feedback! This has been requested a few times before, but I unfortunately don't have any news on this. I'll send your request along to the team as well though.

Sure, I'll follow up with you with any updates I get on this request.

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately Dropbox has not implemented this, and I can't speak to why any particular feature was or wasn't prioritized over another, but I'll send this along to the team.

@"jeff00coder" I see you also posted this in a new thread, so I'll follow up with you there: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Why-does-Dropbox-not-support-multiple-Owners-aka-Collaborators/m-p/442897#M1413
