Also, make sure to update the redirect URI to match the new port.
We've now updated the repo in Github to have the two projects point to different ports now to avoid this in the future. Pulling the latest code should fix everything. If not (maybe due to cached files), Properties -> Web -> Create Virtual Directory should fix it.

Hello,
First of all, thanks for the answer.
I have already read the file that you say, but I continue to not understood in practice how to apply.
What I understood untill now is that, to get the token the user need to be a developer. You said that is possible each user connect their own account, but how they can obtain the token if they aren't developers.

9 years agoUsers don't need to be developers to get an access token for your app.
What SDK/library are you using, if any? How you set this up depends on what you're using.

Hello,
Thanks for the answer.
You say that the users don't need to be developers to get an access token, how can they obtain this token? Or their token is the same that i'm using now in the tests?
I'm programming in C# (.NET) in the Visual Studio 2015. I'm new in the use of the OAuth/OAuth2, I just already read the documentation about this theme but I couldn't understood very well, hence my question.
Best Regards

Are you using our official .NET SDK? We recommend doing so. It comes with a SimpleBlogDemo example app that shows how to use DropboxOAuth2Helper to process the app authorization flow.
Each user will get their own access token once they go through the app authorization flow. An access token identifies a particular app-user pair, so it will be different from your own access token.

Hello,
Thanks for the answer.
In the Visual Studio I install in the "Package Manager Console" the .NET SDk like is in the website (PM> Install-Package Dropbox.Api). This is what you mean? Or there are other SDK diferent of visual studio that I need to install?
I tried to run the SimpleBlogDemo example but gives an error in the access to dropbox (Server Error in '/' Application). I already changed the APP KEY and SECRET in the Web.config and add the http://localhost:5000/Home/Auth in the app console and not work. There are some think that I can do to correct this problem?
Best Regards
