Web based Data Upload API from Company Website Portal to a dedicated Dropbox Account
Hi, I am developing a new business and a key element is very large data transfers from external locations back into the office. We are planning on using dropbox as it has always been super reliable ...

8 years agoYes, while the API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files, it is technically possible to connect and upload to just one account. The SDKs don't offer explicit support for it and we don't usually recommend doing so, for various technical and security reasons. (Most of these concerns are generally allayed for server-side apps though, e.g., web apps.)
However if you did want to go this route, instead of kicking off the authorization flow, you would manually use an existing access token for your account and app. (Just be careful not to revoke it, e.g. via https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps .)
The Dropbox API does also offer the ability to create new folders with arbitrary names.
