Will upgrading from Dropbox Plus to Dropbox Business break my API app?

Hi guys,

 

I am have long used a Dropbox Plus account that is simply shared among several employees. It beautifully syncs files across several devices. I built an application using the API that integrates with our custom CRM as well, so we can automatically create new client folders in Dropbox (that everyone can see), save documents there, etc.

 

The company is growing, and I think we really should move to Dropbox Business.

 

Will the API application still work if I just upgrade our current main Dropbox account to Dropbox Business? Or will I need to recode the application?

 

Thanks!

 

  • Dropbox API apps can connect to Dropbox accounts of any type. Upgrading to a Business plan won't break your app.

     

    Note though that Dropbox Business accounts may use the "team space" configuration, which API calls don't access by default. Refer to the Team Files Guide for more information.
