Hi paololago,

Yes, for sure, you do.

This doesn't matter. API needs authentication to work. On other side authentication is granting access for particular application (the one you need) to access particular account(s) (either your own only or other).

Hope this clarifies matter.

Hi paololago,

Здравко is correct that you will need to create an API app to implement the Dropbox API. The first step in implementing the Dropbox API is to create an API app, which can be done through the

App Console.

You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs with the following links:
