Hi, have tried diferent ways to build it without any luck. All i want is a simple html form that when i click on it the file gets saved in the logged in dropbox account.
I'm getting this error:
{"error": "Invalid origin"}
Do you have a full path to send a get or post request and save the file.
Thanks

- Greg-DBAre you trying to run the Saver from a file:// URL by any chance? That can result in that error.
When using the Chooser or Saver, you'll need to run it from a server, so that Dropbox can verify the domain. (That is, since you need to pre-register the domains you'll user your Chooser or Saver on via the App Console: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps )
Try running it from a server instead. (You can even use a localhost server while developing it.)I tried a localhost http server and didn't work either. I did add http://127.0.0.1 and localhost on the app section on the dropbox site.
I get the following error:{"error": "Origin does not match any app domain"}- Greg-DBThe domain for the URL of the page you host the Saver needs to exactly match one of your pre-registered Chooser/Saver domains. (Make sure you don't register an "OAuth 2 redirect URI", as that's not for the Chooser/Saver.)
So, for example, register "localhost" and then access your page from http://localhost (plus whatever port and path you need).
