    <title>topic App has access to my whole dropbox instead of just the app folder in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I recently used &lt;A href="http://www.draw.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;www.draw.io&lt;/A&gt; and saved my sketches on dropbox. It asked me to authorize access and created a folder under Apps. When I look at the account/security page, the access type is App folder. When I go to draw.io website and go to the open document window, I can see that the app has access to all my dropbox and can open any file. Why is that?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Are you referring to the functionality shown in this screenshot?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/user_images/zcwj-oiju_qFujeGiL03Dg.png" alt="&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;That's the " dropbox="" chooser="" /&gt;
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When using the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox Chooser, the app only gets access to the specific files you select. The Chooser is actually part of the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox site, so you (and only you) can see the rest of your Dropbox&amp;nbsp;when selecting files to send to the app. The app just receives links to the specific files you selected once you click "Chooser".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In this case, draw.io uses the Chooser to let you select files to open from anywhere in your account, and then saves the edited files back to the app folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
