Dropbox API Certificate Problem

Hi guys~

I wrote a app to manage my dropbox cloud. Recently i found that the app connot work, and from log  found that i got a curl errror [60].

SO i change the Certificate info, it works fine. From this Dropbox Topic i find dropbox change certificates for api.dropboxapi.com and content.dropboxapi.com, i want to know:

  • is the certificate of the website replaced regularly?
  • is this replaced follow the certificate of curl  /   Mozilla cert ?
  • when did dropbox change CA file from DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA to DigiCert Global Root CA?

Can someone answer my question?Thanks very much~

  • The certificates on the Dropbox servers are updated as needed. I don't have a specific history/schedule to share on exactly when that did/will occur.

     

    Dropbox works to ensure that the servers are always served with valid certificates, but we don't guarantee we'll always being using a specific root, so we recommend making sure your trust store trusts both DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA and DigiCert Global Root CA.
