Hello, I'm using Swifty dropbox and wanted to know the difference between accountId I get from getAccountId() call vs. the userId set in my shared client. Thanks in advance!

1. No, API v2 doesn't return the v1 user ID.

2. For each user you have, with a known user ID and access token, use that user's access token to call /2/users/get_current_account and store the resulting account ID as being for that user.
