Find DBID on Local PC
Application Affected My own app Device Windows 11 VM Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Latest Question or Issue We have an app that uses the Dropbox API quite significantly. The user must signin to our app using the Dropbox API and our own login code. It's possible that the user has logged into the Web version of the app at some time, but is using a different account on the PC App. This causes considerable grief in our system where, on install say, the system goes off into the web system and says you have a record with this account, but we cannot find the details, but the user installing the system notes that their local (PC App) account has no records associated with it. Such a use case occurs during testing, but it is perfectly plausible that a user could have their business and one or more personal Dropbox accounts, so definitely a use case that can occur in the real world. The simplest way to prevent this is that, on startup, verify that the DBID returned by the API is the same as the local account (ie. the installed APP). Simple question: Where on the local PC are the local app account details kept? Ideally it would be the DBID, but worst case it could be the associated email address? I am not having any luck with my internet searches for this info (AI does not know the difference between the DBID and the Host ID in the info.json file). EDIT: Of course if we could also find the associated email address (ie. the login to the web email address and the account associated with the app email address) then we could compare. Email address is unique in this context so if they differed same as a differing DBID. Again, I cannot seem to determine the email address associated with the local Windows Dropbox app?Solved138Views0likes10Comments
