Does a Dropbox app have a limit on "Development users?"
How many 'Development users' can I manage in my Dropbox app?
Is it true that there's no 500-user limit once my app state is 'Production'?

Hi silfoxes1
When you first create a Dropbox API app, it starts in development status and can only be connected to your own account. From the app’s info page in the App Console, you can optionally allow a limited number of other accounts by selecting "Enable additional users".
In development mode, your app works the same as a production app, but it can only be linked to a maximum of 500 Dropbox accounts. Once your app reaches 50 linked users, you’ll have two weeks to apply for and receive production status approval. If you don’t, your app will no longer be able to link new users — even if you’re still below the 500-user limit.
For more details, please see the "Production approval" section in the Developer Guide.

thank you for your reply
I understand that my app starts in development status and can be linked to a maximum of 500-user Dropbox accounts, but what happens once it's approved for production? Will it still have the same 500-limit?
What should I do to handle a very large, or even unlimited, number of users? - Silfoxes3 months agoNew member | Level 2
I found the answer in the “Production approval” section of the Developer Guide.
thank you
