This worked perfectly before but as the dropbox API v1 has been deprecated it does not work anymore.

Hard coded that token into my server to upload all file to a specific folder within my Dropbox.

Generated my token from the developers console.

I created an app on the dropbox developers console.

Please note that the app uses only one dropbox account (mine) to upload files. If this happens, please refresh the page and hit the generate button again as the “-” will be read as a flag on the server and will result in an error.Previously I was using the Dropbox API V1 within my web app to upload files my dropbox account. IMPORTANT: On very rare occasions Dropbox will create a token that begins with a dash “-“, e.g: -od2UzsdgfGGGSDfewfregg8gLLLLq_FAWS5wtAnmHLvZa6QZLq99RkblsDD0qub Copy it and then head over to your GridPane account. Next, click the Generate button and your API token will be displayed.

Here you’ll see the option to generate an access token – “ Generated access token” followed by a button labeled “ Generate“, and also the “ Access token expiration” dropdown. Once selected, click back to the Settings tab and scroll down approximately halfway to the “Oauth” section. Here, first click through to the permissions tab and give your API the correct permissions and click the Submit button: You will automatically be taken to your apps management page. Go ahead and click on this to create a new app.Īnd then click the blue Create App button.

Here there’s a small blue Create App button. To begin, first sign in to your dropbox account and then head over to Dropbox App Console here: If your app uses the 'file type' permission, youll need to register an new app, as the file type permission is not supported on API v2.
