Dropbox for Business with SwiftyDropbox integration
Hello,
I am moving my iphone app from a test account with personal dropbox to dropbox for business with team members. This seems to be quite the jump and the documentation is minimal for this parti...
If the code doesn't seem to be running or responding, I recommend stepping through with the debugger first to determine where it's breaking down.
For instance, in the code sample I shared, 'DropboxClientsManager.authorizedTeamClient' needs to be set, in order to make the API calls. That gets set during the authorization process for the Business API app. Is it properly set when you try to make the calls?
Looking at the code you shared for the authorization process, it looks like you are still using the user methods, instead of the team methods. That is, per the docs here, in this case you should use 'setupWithTeamAppKey' instead of 'setupWithAppKey', and 'handleRedirectURLTeam' instead of 'handleRedirectURL'.

Dropbox Community ModeratorIt sounds like you're switching from a "Dropbox API" app registration to a "Dropbox Business API" app registration.
Just for reference, "Dropbox API" apps can be connected to any kind of Dropbox account individually (including Business accounts) in order to access the files in that account. For example, you can list, download, upload, and delete files/folders.
"Dropbox Business API" apps can be connected only to entire Dropbox Business teams, in order to operate on the team and its members. You only need a "Dropbox Business API" app if you want to connect to Business teams only, to access functionality specific to Business teams. For example, you can add and remove members. Additionally, Dropbox Business API apps with the "team member file access" permission in particular can additionally operate on the files in the account of any member of the team.
So, to answer your specific questions, if you have a Dropbox Business API app and want to get the ID of the specific team admin that authorized the access token you're currently using, you can use the tokenGetAuthenticatedAdmin method. You can also use the membersList and membersListContinue methods to get the information, including member IDs, of all of the members of the team.
And since you have a Dropbox Business API app with the "team member file access" permission, you can can get a DropboxClient for any member in particular from DropboxTeamClient, so that you can call file methods, such as listFolder/listFolderContinue, download, upload, and deleteV2 for that account.
Here's a basic example of what it would look like to list the contents of the member folder for the admin who authorized the app to access their team:
DropboxClientsManager.authorizedTeamClient?.team.tokenGetAuthenticatedAdmin().response(completionHandler: { (response, error) in
if let response = response {
let currentAdminId = response.adminProfile.teamMemberId
DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedTeamClient?.asMember(currentAdminId)
DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient!.files.listFolder(path: "").response(completionHandler: { (response, error) in
if let response = response {
print(response)
} else if let error = error {
print(error)
}
})
} else if let error = error {
print(error)
}
})So I tried your code and I get no response. It must be before this that I am causing the issue. It isn't much though.
This is my current method to Authorize. should I be doing this different
AppDelegate:
DropboxClientsManager.setupWithAppKey("App_Key")UIButtonAction:
DropboxClientsManager.authorizeFromController(UIApplication.shared, controller: self, openURL: { (url: URL) -> Void in UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) })
Any ideas? Thanks so much.
