    <title>topic How to upload file to DropBox folder that is accessible to others in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/How-to-upload-file-to-DropBox-folder-that-is-accessible-to/m-p/387085#M21499</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a pretty simple requirement.&amp;nbsp; I need to write c# code to upload a file to an existing DropBox folder (or even a new one if necessary) that others have access to so that the new file will also be in their dropbox folder on their windows machine (windows explorer).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Per the documentation, I created an app and chose to have access to just a single folder.&amp;nbsp; I then used a simple call to dbx.Files.UploadAsync() and that sort of worked.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It did upload the file and now, on my windows machine, in Windows Explorer I see a new folder in the root of my DropBox folder named "Apps."&amp;nbsp; I can drill into it and see the file I uploaded.&amp;nbsp; Great!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, I can't see how to share the folder with other people so that they have access to it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1. I can share the folder as a link but that is not what we want.&amp;nbsp; I want others to have access to it, not share a link.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. I went into the app and enabled additional users (can't remember how it was worded) but now the button just says "Unlink all users" and shows 1 of 500.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, I think I am missing the process for how to upload a file into an existing DropBox folder that others in DropBox business have access to.&amp;nbsp; Seems like it should be simple but I'm missing something obvious.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any ideas?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;From your description, I understand that you registered an API app with the "app folder" permission, resulting in the "app folder" in your account then you connected the app.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, app folders are incompatible with shared folders, meaning you can't share an app folder (except as a link, like you mentioned), put a shared folder or team folder inside an app folder or put an app folder in a shared folder or team folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Instead, if you need to use the API with shared folders or team folders, you'll need to use the "full Dropbox" permission, as opposed to the app folder permission. You can find &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide" target="_self"&gt;more information about app permissions here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can &lt;A href="http://permission" target="_self"&gt;register another app with the desired permission here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Awesome, thank you.&amp;nbsp; I registered a new app that had full dropbox access and then I was able to save into the folder I wanted to.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
