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. F...
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.

I also wanto to konw, if dropbox's Root CA (DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA and DigiCert Global Root CA) will update with upstream certificates， in case i use the latest CA can't pass through dropbox's Verification

I'm not quite sure I understand your latest question. Can you clarify? Thanks.
For example, i use the latest CA Store from curl(eg: ver 2022-12-09)，but dropbox.com use the old DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA and DigiCert Global Root CA from old CA Store(eg: ver 2021-10-11). The two CA Store are completely different，so i can't pass dropbox verification.
Therefore, if upstrem (like Mozilla、CURL) update its CA Store, will dropbox sync updates?
Or i should download CA file from dropbox.com instead of using CA Store from from a third party?

The choice of trust store to use with your client is up to you, but to be able to successfully verify and connect to the Dropbox API servers you'll need to trust the root CA(s) used by the Dropbox servers. I can't provide any guarantee on if/when Dropbox will change its certificates.
