Solution for Dropbox API where I have a non-standard setup.
My app is single-page server-side javascript/HTML, but I don't use Node. This seems to mean that I can't just import {Dropbox} from 'dropbox' I am able to access use the chooser and saver by usin...

3 years agochainsbomb As Здравко said, it's not necessary to use an SDK to access the Dropbox API, as you can construct the network requests directly.
It is worth nothing though that the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK supports both back-end Node and front-end browser JavaScript environments. So, you can use a <script> tag to import the Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK into browser JavaScript, from a CDN of your choice. Dropbox doesn't require or endorse any particular CDN, but for example, the Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK is available on cdnjs.

From what I gather, the Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK requires node.js to be installed, which I do not have.
Anything via "import" or "require" or "curl" are out of bounds, so I guess GET and POST are the solution.
Thanks though.

chainsbomb,
Sounds like I'm in a similar situation as you - I need to just use GET and POST to retrieve and save files on Dropbox. Would you be willing to share a few code snippets and/or advice to get me started? Thanks so much.
