Unfortunately, the Dropbox API for Beyond Compare can't access online files that are in a Dropbox team account (Business Standard and Advanced accounts).  They are working on a solution, but it probably won't be available until 2023.  Does anyone know of a current way to compare online Dropbox files in those types of accounts to local files?

Hi Michael Gyori, happy Thursday! 

 

At the moment, we don't a feature that's able to do exactly what you ask. The best way to go on about it, would be to reach out to the developers of the API, and ask for a possible workaround, until they roll out the official solution.

 

Also, the thread remains open for others to suggest and add anything on this too. 

 

Thanks a bunch!
