The scopes to register for your app are dependent on your use case and what endpoints you will be calling. You can see which scope is required for each endpoint in the API documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation.
When I try to connect to the dropbox it says "Authentication aborted".
That error message indicates the authentication process was not fully completed. If you are seeing that error at a different point in the authorization flow, or after the authorization flow has been completed successfully, please reply with:
- the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
And I check the team_data.member scope, it go to the step to login, but when I login it says "Please sign in with a work account."
Team scopes are permissions needed to interact with Business API endpoints. Additionally, only team admins of Dropbox Business teams can authorize API apps—or apps with team scopes. Could you confirm at what point during the auth flow you are seeing that error?
