Cannot access dropbox account using access Token generated by a different account
I have given an appkey to access a dropbox app, I create an authorize url using this -
Uri authorizeUri = DropboxOAuth2Helper.GetAuthorizeUri(OAuthResponseType.Token, AppKey, RedirectUri, state: o...
Thanks Greg.
I figured based on your response that path not found is coming due to the fact that I uploaded the files from different account/apptoken and downloading the files from different account/apptoken.
As you mentioned that different account will have separate folder there for no possibility if communication with folder access permissions.
I need to request full dropbox access and try that out today.
Further the folder contents Api you mentioned I already check earlier but the folder, files were different therefore cannot relate them.
I will try full dropbox access app and update you on that.
Thanks

I tried drobox app with full dropbox permission. Given below are my findings -
Admin/Owner of the dropbox uploaded the files to the 'Apps/Input' folder manually with thier own account and from the dropbox web interface.
I have given with the appkey of the new dropbox app as mentioned above.
Now, I generated an app Token using my own dropbox account for the above app and tried reading the files and found that I cannot access the files uploaded by owner with my app Token, regardless I use full dropbox or folder only permission.
Seems like If 3 different people wants to read/write same folder in a dropbox app then app Key/Token has to be same/shared among all i.e. this is only possible with same appToken used for read/write/access.
What I can do is create a folder outside an App, this folder to be shared among 3 parties as shared folder. Now each one of us can view/read/write this folder in our own dropbox. Further this folder is accessible to everyone. I tested this and this seems to be working.
Thanks.
