This app is currently disabled.

This is my first attempt at using the Dropbox API to upload a file so it is highly possible that I am doing something fundamentally wrong or I have missed doing something that I should have done.

I have got to the stage of uploading the file ($dbxClient->uploadFile) and it is giving me the following error

=============================================

Exception_BadResponseCode in RequestUtil.php line 256: Unexpected HTTP status 403
{"error": "This app is currently disabled."}

=========================================

Any help would be appreciated

    This error message indicates that the app for the app key or access token you are using is disabled. 

    If you registered an app originally and then disabled it, make sure you remove that app key and secret from your app.

    If you registered an app originally and got an access token using it, and then disabled that app, that access token will also stop working. You would need to throw away that access token for the disabled app and get a new one for a new app.

    Thanks but I have managed to get it sorted - it was a key problem (incorrect keys being picked up)

    Not a particularly explicit error message in my opinion.
