Dropbox Community Moderatorgcarl Thanks for confirming that. Unfortunately it's not clear why that would be failing, but this issue looks similar to this report. Are you able to reproduce the same properties they mentioned though, such as differences across devices, and being able to work around the issue by waiting?
Dear GrebDB,
I did various tests on several devices with the same effect.
But finality I think, I found a solution.
Although specified in the app declaration on Dropbox, that the app needs scopes "files.content.write" and "files.content.read" too, it didn't work
Hence I changed the scope request when initially calling the Dropbox to get access and included all scopes:
"
let scopeRequest = ScopeRequest(scopeType: .user, scopes: ["files.content.write", "files.content.read", "account_info.read"], includeGrantedScopes: false)
DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromControllerV2(
UIApplication.shared,
controller: self,
loadingStatusDelegate: nil,
openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) },
scopeRequest: scopeRequest
)
"
By doing so, it seems that the problem is fixed.
