Is App Folder access sufficient for shared folders?
I'm using SwiftyDropbox to create an iOS app that provides Dropbox syncing similar to 1Password, in that multiple users can edit and sync information between devices through a shared Dropbox folder. ...
- Apologies for the delay! There was an issue with the forum and I was only just notified of your post.
Anyway, no, files and folders inside one user's app folder are not automatically accessible to other users.
Also, app folders are incompatible with shared folders. That is, app folders can't contain shared folders, be contained in shared folders, or themselves be shared as shared folders.
If you need your app to interact with shared folders, you'll need to use full Dropbox access.
