Access Token
Hello,
I would like to know if is possible a person who is not developer get your token?
I ask this because I'm developing an app that can access to any account, for example, in my computer the app needs do access to my account (in the begin I select my account to access), if I pass this app to other person that isn't a developer, this person needs to be able to access your account (not my account) even isn't a developer(in the begin the person select your account to access).
Best Regards
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.

Yes, using the OAuth app authorization flow, your app can have each user connect their own Dropbox account. The OAuth guide here may be helpful:

If you're using an official SDK, the tutorial/documentation will have information on implementing the OAuth app authorization flow.
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.
Best Regards
- Greg-DBUsers 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.
