    That won't have any impact. You can continue using the OAuth 1 or OAuth 2 access tokens on API v1 even when you start using OAuth 2 access tokens on API v2.

Hi Scott, you can migrate different platforms at different times like this. Your app can use different versions of the API at the same time without issue. They'll both access the same file data as they would otherwise.

Greg,

 

Thanks for the quick reply.   I do have followup question concerning acess tokens.   If we migrate a user to an OAuth 2 token from an OAuth 1 token does this have any affect on a user's Dropbox access from our apps that are still using the v1 Core API?  Or is this also transparent ot the user?
