Hello, How to use username and password for upload files from web application using DropBox api instead of using access token,App key and App secret. Pls reply asap Regards, Aravind
Hi , Thanks for reply,
I want some more explanitaion, i have 1000 more user, each user have their own dropbox account,
I have web application in that each user enter their username and password of dropbox and in file broser button , they browse file and click upload.
Once submit file insert into their own dropbox which what dropbox username and password they typed.
For this how i get each user access tokes or app ID or screate key, we know only username and password only, but i can upload file using access token.
If only upload file with access token, then how to get access token using username and password ? or how to get api key and screat key using username and password
so how this will do in web application,

Dropbox Community ModeratorUsers should not be entering their Dropbox username and password into your app, and your app should never prompt them to do so.
Your app must implement the OAuth app authorization flow so that it can get an access token for each user, without ever seeing their Dropbox username and password. The app can use the resulting access token to make API calls, e.g., to upload files, etc.
Please refer to the OAuth guide and documentation for more information on how to do this. We also recommend using one of the official SDKs, if possible, as they will handle most of the work for you.
There's a basic example of this flow implemented in the API v2 Explorer demo, for instance.
