7 years agoHey Josh D.15, I would like to refer you to this response which I hope will clarify this a bit:
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/25K-Dropbox-Business-API-Call-Limit-on-Data-Transport/m-p/234426/highlight/true#M12799
Depending on your current plan you may or may not see a warning, but unless you have migrated (or are still grandfathered) to a Business plan that includes unlimited API calls for the specific endpoints mentioned, you will see this warning so that it is clear the app you are linking will be consuming your monthly API quota.
Hope that helps,
-Chuck

Thanks @chirstius
So what you are saying is every one of our customers who connects to our app, that does not have unlimited API calls, will see this warning.
The reason for this is so that the customers are aware that the app they are authing uses upload APIs.
Is there a Dropbox help article that we can direct our users to? They are getting nervous when they see this warning, they think our app is doing something wrong, or using too many API calls, and they are blaming us. :)
