    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you, Mark.&amp;nbsp; I've voted for restricting connected apps to a specific folder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, with only 798 votes, it is unlikely to be addressed.&amp;nbsp; And I think it is an important security issue that should be brought to the top of the list.&amp;nbsp; It should not be the prerogative of the connected app developer whether they can access all files in someone's Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Restrict a Connected App to Just One Folder</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Integrations/Restrict-a-Connected-App-to-Just-One-Folder/m-p/504650#M5468</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have several connected apps to my Dropbox account.&amp;nbsp; Several of them are restricted to view/edit &lt;STRONG&gt;specific&lt;/STRONG&gt; folders that are related to them.&amp;nbsp; Others are allowed to view &lt;STRONG&gt;all&lt;/STRONG&gt; of my Dropbox folders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When I connected the apps, I just clicked "allow access to Dropbox".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How can I restrict those connected apps with full access to my folders to the only folder to which they need access?&amp;nbsp; I don't want the apps to see/edit/delete files that are not any of their business.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm afraid you cant - its the developers of the app who set which restrictions they want to use and then you have to simply agree or disagree with it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;You can't. This is a choice made by the developer when they create their app. The developer chooses either App Folder access or Full Dropbox access, depending on what their app needs. You as a user can either agree to that access when connecting the app to your account, or choose not to use the app.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I understand that the amount of Dropbox access is determined by the connected app developer.&amp;nbsp; For many connected apps it is an all-or-nothing access decision.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, for security, it would be great if Dropbox could allow its users to modify which folders a connected app can access, from full access to specific folder(s)/subfolder(s) access.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are there any Dropbox developers online?&amp;nbsp; Should I contact support to suggest this important security modification?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It's been suggested many times before and you'll be able to find and add votes to it at&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Share-an-idea/ct-p/101002000" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Share-an-idea/ct-p/101002000&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I imagine the 768 people who voted for this know about 100x as much about security as the users who are unaware of the problem.&amp;nbsp; I spent two hours researching this because I simply couldn't believe that Dropbox had not addressed this. Dropbox may want to keep things simple for users and developers but this absolutely needs to be fixed.&amp;nbsp; Dropbox is one popular but poorly designed app away from a major security scandal. With all the warnings posted here about the risk this poses to users, the legal liability could be serious.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I agree and feel this should be escalated, but don't understand the proper channels for doing so. This is critical.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This is idiotic.&amp;nbsp; It would be super simple to have either a folder/file list in the connected apps settings, or an ability to add connected apps at the folder/file sharing settings.&amp;nbsp; If I want some company out of god-knows-where to drop files in a folder through their app, why would I give them access to all my data in Dropbox?&amp;nbsp; I guess the workaround is to create a 2nd free account for a particular app, doesn't seem efficient.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
