Yes, this is my query is that how we can set the access token in the session and how to retrieve the client. Once you help me to fix it after that i can easily fetch the data. Help me to find solution with code in objective c.

9 years agoIt sounds like "y4yp61aez2fn8" is the key for an OAuth 1 access token. There should also be a corresponding secret value for the OAuth 1 access token. With those values, you can set the access token using the updateAccessToken method I mentioned ealier.
I don't have any pre-written code for this to share though, as this is not something we recommend you do, and that SDK is deprecated anyway.
That said, if you need help, please share the code you have so far and post the error or unexpected output you're getting. If I see what's not working for you, I may be able to offer more help.

Yes, i have all access token, token sercert, user id, And i use this all in such way.
1. I create a method for the updateToken as below and in this method i am fetching the folder of dropbox.
2 I call this method to update token in viewDid Load
3 When i run the app, it did not display the folder of the dropbox and even do not that it is logged in the dropbox using updated access or not.- (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; [self updateAccessToken:@"zu7k2w75btivr" accessTokenSecret:@"ndxj3c5u4kzp3" forUserId:@"653926434"]; } //update access token method - (void)updateAccessToken:(NSString *)token accessTokenSecret:(NSString *)secret forUserId:(NSString *)userId { [self.restClient loadMetadata:@"/"]; }

Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like you're defining your own updateAccessToken method. That's actually an existing method on DBSession though. You shouldn't define your own. You should call that on your DBSession instance before attempting API calls such as loadMetadata.
