Unable to share app folder

Currently I aam having a some apps for bakckup. However, I would like to share the dropbox permission to another developer. Is there a way where I can do this? My developer are creating some applications backup folders and this process has to go through me to authenticate the app. Can I invite them to my folder and provide them permission to authenticate their backup app?

    App folders are incompatible with shared folders, meaning you can't share an app folder, put a shared folder inside an app folder or put an app folder in a shared folder.

    Instead, if you need to use the API with shared folders, you'll need to use "full Dropbox" permission, as opposed to the app folder permission. You can find more information about app permissions here:

    If you've already registered an app using the app folder permission, you can register another with the desired permission at:
