Can DropIn use business app key?

Whenever I try to initialize DropBox Chooser or Saver with app key that belongs to my bussines app, I get

{"error": "Not a Drop-in app"}

 How to solve this?

  • "Dropbox Business API" app keys can't be used for the Chooser or Saver. You'll need to register a "Dropbox API" app for that:

    You don't need to apply for production to use the Chooser/Saver though, so you can move ahead with the integration as soon as you register the app.
