oauth flow with spring boot
hello ,
I'm trying to integrate Dropbox with my Spring Boot application and enable the OAuth flow so users can use their Dropbox accounts within my application. However, it isn't working, and I'm struggling with the documentation. Can someone help me?
Thank you!

While Dropbox can't offer help with Spring Boot itself, as that's not made by Dropbox, we're happy to help with any issues on the Dropbox side. If you're seeing any issues with the Dropbox functionality, feel free to share the details so we can take a look.
i've tried this :

return new DbxClientV2(config, accessToken);
}
}

String authorizeUrl = webAuth.authorize(webAuthRequest);
return new RedirectView(authorizeUrl);
}
@GetMapping("/dropbox/callback")
public String callback(@RequestParam String code) {
try {

String accessToken = authFinish.getAccessToken();
// Use the access token to create a DbxClientV2 instance
DbxRequestConfig config = DbxRequestConfig.newBuilder("dropbox/spring-boot-app").build();
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, accessToken);
// Get the current account info as an example
FullAccount account = client.users().getCurrentAccount();
System.out.println("Account name: " + account.getName().getDisplayName());
return "redirect:/success";
} catch (DbxException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return "redirect:/error";
}
}
}Cannot resolve symbol 'DbxStandardHttpRequestor'

Hm... Why do you think that such a class should be there at all? Where you saw documentation about such an usage? 🤔
Just take a look on some of the examples and follow the idea there. 😉
By the way... you are using short lived token only! Keep in mind that for long term access you would need refresh token too if you need long term access.
