Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello.
I would like to report a problem of using Dropbox from the Boxcryptor Classic app.
From early February 2018, from mobile devices, the Boxcryptor Classic app is no longer able to connect to the encrypted folder on Dropbox.
Reading the forums, it seems that the problem is due to a new version of Dropbox API, which is no longer compatible with Boxcryptor Classic mobile.
I wonder why Dropbox has modified this API making it incompatible with the ecosystem...
This is a big shame, because the pair Boxcryptor + Dropbox is very used. Many users (myself included) will be forced to abandon Dropbox and switch to the copy Boxcryptor + GoogleDrive or similar ....
The trouble with the newer version is that they limit your free access to 3 devices which is not enough.
So now that Dropbox has done the same I have stopped using dropbox with Boxcryptor Classic and have switched to MS OneDrive which works fine so long as you switch off the Files on Demand feature.
Dropbox has been very good and it is a pity that they have put profits before people, but such is the world we live in.
