Company Level Access Token

Company Level Access Token

Is it possible to create a company level access token for Dropbox.

 

We had a Powershell script to connect to Dropbox using a bearer token that we did not realized was associated with a specific developers account. When he left the company we eventually removed his Dropbox account and that resulted in our Powershell script breaking with an invalid token error from the Dropbox API. 

 

We were able to get the scripts running again by generating a new access token but it was associated with a specific developer account again. 

 

Is it possible to create a company level access token? 

 

Also, we have not looked into "Apps" and what access that might provide but we're hoping a company level access token would allow us to keep storing files as is and not have to relocate them (and re-train people where to look for them).

 

Thanks

Yes, it is possible to connect an app to a team itself, instead of just a specific account, by requesting any "team" scopes. You can find more information in the team endpoints documentation here.

 

That can be used to access files/folders like an individually-connected app can, without the files/folders needing to be moved around.
