Hi, I am trying to get access token after Autharization. So on button click I redirect user to https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<APP_KEY>&response_type=code So user goes through the steps and authorize the app but it goes to a page like this II I use Window.open with redirect url. window.open(url,redirectURL ); I have a feeling I am not constructing redirect url properly. Can you please provide me with an example of window.open with proper url? What am I doing wrong here?

Hi Greg, Thank you for the reply. /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata does work for the shared folders. Now we have a problem with not shared ones. For not shared ones, we get name of the folder back but not the whole path. name is valid but pathlower is null. Can we get a metadata for not shared folders? We tried below 2, but it did not work. https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_folder_metadata https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_file_metadata Above to gives access error. As I type this question, I noticed it might me because of "sharing", so I tried /http/documentation#files-get_metadata . Oddly though, this gives back error for selected file/folder Any thoughts?

I am trying to get the path of the folder selected. This is how my response object looks like: linkType: "direct",
multiselect: false,
extensions: [],
folderselect: true,
sizeLimit: 1024, Now when I get a response path looks like https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bzqdza1ju95ewql5fw/AADE_uZdasdWh6N3ews4MvucNNnqZxlka?dl=0 I need to get the path like "home/test" so I can save it using. curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder \
--header "Authorization: Bearer " \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"path\": \"/Homework/math\",\"recursive\": false,\"include_media_info\": false,\"include_deleted\": false,\"include_has_explicit_shared_members\": false,\"include_mounted_folders\": true,\"include_non_downloadable_files\": true}"
PARAMETERS
{
"path": "/Homework/math",
"recursive": false,
"include_media_info": false,
"include_deleted": false,
"include_has_explicit_shared_members": false,
"include_mounted_folders": true,
"include_non_downloadable_files": true
} Any Idea how I can get the path(for folder location) from the Chooser?

Hi Greg, Thank you for your reply. I came up with this rather interesting scenario. I was working on the same project but haven't done dropbox specific work past couple days. Today I clicked the Dropbox Chooser button and expected it to launch the browser window again but instead, it loaded everything inside the add-in page. Now I wanted to double-check with you to see if there has been a software update to support this feature and whether it is safe for production. Thanks

Hi, I am developing an outlook add-in that will have Dropbox Chooser implementation in it. To use the Dropbox Chooser, the user needs an app key to pass to Dropbox.choose(options); My question is, to give the user a better experience, can I create the app on behalf of the user ( after authentication) and retrieve the app key to use on my code?

Walter, Here is the screenshot from the add-in and after it launches the browser. after it launches the browser page, I get this "cannot communicate with the https://..." and when I pick a destination and click Choose nothing happens. So I am comparing it to One Drive picker, which stays inside the Add-in Application. I am wondering if I get communication error because outlook app and this browser page lost a connection. So is it possible to load it inside the Add-in in Outlook mobile app? If not, how can I keep the communication going and return to the app after picking the destination?

I have been trying to you use Dropbox Chooser to get the file destination from Outlook Add-in. It works fine on Desktop, but when I run the application through Outlook Mobile (on android) app, it launches the android browser.
My question is how do I go back to my app (or ideally load the chooser inside the Outlook Add-in without popping up the browser) after I choose the destination?
