Migration V1 to V2
Hi,
in V1 I simply use:
Public Function write(myFile As String) As MetaData Dim Client As DropNetClient = New DropNetClient(Konstanten.DropboxAppKey, Konstanten.DropboxAppSecret) Client.UseSandbox = True Client.GetToken() Process.Start(Client.BuildAuthorizeUrl()) MessageBox.Show("Wait") Try Dim accessToken = Client.GetAccessToken() Dim myFilestream As FileStream = New FileStream(myFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read) Dim myReturn As MetaData = Client.UploadFile("/", System.IO.Path.GetFileName(myFile), myFilestream) myFilestream.Close() Return myReturn Catch ex As Exception Return Nothing End Try End Function
How can I get the token in V2 without entering the code by the user???

For using API v2 from .NET, we recommend using the official Dropbox .NET SDK:

The examples show how to handle authorization, e.g., using DropboxOAuth2Helper in SimpleBlogDemo:

I had a look at all docus but I cant recognize in the example how I can get an accesstoken. I can generate the uri to show the authentification to the user but I cant receive a token.
Can you gibe me a hint?

The access token is retrieved a few lines later when the user is redirected back to the app after authorizing it here:
