How to get OAuth2 access token from OAuth1 token and secret with API v2
hi,

Apologies for the confusion. The curl example in the documentation and API Explorer for /2/auth/token/from_oauth1 are unfortunately incorrect. I'll let the team know to fix that.
That endpoint actually uses app authentication ( https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types#app ), so a bearer access token isn't necessary. This is what the curl example should look like:curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/from_oauth1 \ -u "APP_KEY:APP_SECRET" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"oauth1_token\": \"OAUTH1_TOKEN_KEY\",\"oauth1_token_secret\": \"OAUTH1_TOKEN_SECRET\"}"

rishutiwari You should only use the /2/auth/token/from_oauth1 endpoint if you have old OAuth 1 access token keys and secrets stored, e.g., retrieved using OAuth 1 for API v1, which is now retired. If you don't already have any of those to convert, you shouldn't use this endpoint. Please refer to my earlier comment on this thread for more information.
