[account/login_with_password] App doesn't have permission to use this API
What dropbox app permission is needed to use account/login_with_password?
- It sounds like you're referring to a private endpoint. Third party API apps should use the OAuth app authorization flow:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide
That will get your app an access token for the user that you can store and re-use for future API calls without further manual user intervention.
