Dropbox API 101

Hi andrebruton​ 

A 'missing_scope' error indicates that while the app is permitted to use that scope, the particular access token you're using to make the API call does not have that scope granted. Also, be aware that just adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens or refresh tokens.

That being the case, to make any API calls that require that scope, you'll need to re-authorize the app to get a new access token (and refresh token, if being used) with that scope.

Refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.

Additionally, the error "You must be a team administrator to perform this operation." is displayed to individuals who are part of a Dropbox team, but do not have admin privileges, who are attempting to authorize an app with team scopes.
