Problem with using Generated access token to test using SwiftyDropbox
I have followed the instructions on https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox in an attempt to test the V2 API with my Swift desktop macOS App. The only difference is that I am using the Swift_2_3 br...
The Swift 3 branch has the DropboxClient constructor just taking the access token as a string now, but the Swift 2.3 branch still requires a DropboxAccessToken object there. You can construct it like this:
DropboxClient.init(accessToken: DropboxAccessToken(accessToken:"ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE", uid:"USER_ID_HERE"))
Just use client instead of Dropbox.authorizedClient:
client.sharing.createSharedLinkWithSettings(...)

Thanks for that help. That pushed me along a little further. I'm trying to retrieve a public shared link for a folder. This is what I have so far:
var client = DropboxClient.init(accessToken: DropboxAccessToken(accessToken:"ACESS_TOKEN", uid:"UID_NUMBER"))
Dropbox.authorizedClient?.sharing.createSharedLinkWithSettings(path: dropboxItemName).response({ response, error in
if let link = response {
print("link.url: " + link.url)
} else {
print("error: ")
print(error!)
}
})Unfortunately I'm not getting anything from either "print" statement in the "if" statement in the Dropbox.authorizedClient statement. Any suggestions? Am I missing something here?
