Dropbox Account Id vs UID

Hello, I'm using Swifty dropbox and wanted to know the difference between accountId I get from getAccountId() call vs. the userId set in my shared client. Thanks in advance!

RTS, API v2 only uses the new account ID format, so we recommend moving to that if you're using API v2. You can use the getAccount method to get account information, including the account ID, from API v2 in the Java SDK. You can continue using API v1 methods if necessary though.
