Thank you. I understand the error message. But when I create the Authentication Code, I have to authenticate at dropbox with a specific account. And I do not understand, why this specific account is not saved in the authentication code.
What I now do is, looping through the team members and use as_user() to a user with a specific email address. But this is really clunky I think.

3 years agoWhile a particular team admin account is needed to authorize the app when using any team scopes, the resulting connection is to the entire team, not just that particular account. You can check which account was used to authorize a particular team-linked access token though by calling /2/team/token/get_authenticated_admin (team_token_get_authenticated_admin).
If you do only need to connect to the one account, I recommend omitting the team scopes instead, so that the connection would be to a specific account and you wouldn't need to use as_user.
