Warning 'You're about to link an app that will consume your team's available upload API quota'

@Greg

Just to jump in here...it seems this developer has a regular "Dropbox API" app that'll be contributing to a business user's team's overall API upload limit.

But from your post, it sounds like only "Dropbox Business API" apps, which can only be added by a team's admin, can get information regarding that team's API upload limit.

Is this right? So for "regular" Dropbox API apps that individual users use, these apps have no way to know if the user's team has an upload limit and what that limit is?

Also, even if an app can access that API, it only tells the developer what that team's max monthly quota is. It won't tell the developer how many API calls are left for that month, correct?

If true, this is quite a frustrating limitation. To be nice to users, it'd be better if apps could have as much information as possible about the API limits. They can use the information to inform the user and perhaps even change their behavior (disable autosaving). Limiting this information from apps might be a great way to ensure that apps quickly go over this limit, which might be better for Dropbox sales if it encourages teams to upgrade, but is bad for developers and could hurt the Dropbox app ecosystem overall.

Would love to be corrected if I'm wrong on this. Thanks!
