If you unlink or delete an app, this will have no affect on your file data in your account.
Registering an app on Dropbox only sets up the ability to connect to Dropbox via the API. Deleting it prevents it from being able to connect to Dropbox.
In relation to locating your files directly on your Dropbox account, please cross check the account that is connected to the access token as mentioned by Здравко.
Hi iNeil, thanks for the reply. The app it's self is from a 3rd party and was using it to backup my Kodi install to Dropbox. It managed to do this and I restored the file from the location It was saved. However I do know the file transfer worked, reading and writing but couldn't find any evidence were it was placed in my Dropbox account. It's in there somewhere but I was unable to access it outside the API. I will give your suggestion a go as I did pick Full Access for the App and not the Folder Option. I'll let you know how it turns out. If I remove my current App will that also remove the backup I made? Hoping I can recover the space from that file. 😉
Thanks again, Taz
Hi there, I created a second app with the folder option and removed the previous app. I now have an App folder which I can see and and named as per the app. I've moved stuff in and out of the folder using Dropbox. No problems
Deep Breath!
I attempted again to make 2 backup files from the API to my dropbox account and it was successful. I then went to restore the files and the restore completed successful is well. To make sure this is going out on the internet I disconnect the unit and it couldn't access any backups previously listed. Reconnecting the unit and the files displayed for restore.
However the files which has gone to Dropbox has not arrived in my App Folder.
I've enabled all the permissions within the Developers App. While the backup and the restore work very well without the files appearing in the folder. I have no way of removing the old backups and it would eventually fill up my Dropbox account.
To add a little bit extra, I've just checked my Personal Dropbox space and it say's Using 35.2 KB of 2 GB. So were did the files go? LOL
Any suggestions? I'm all ears, Taz 😉

😁How many accounts do you have? 🙂 The files will go to the account authenticated with the token in use. If you have used someone else credentials that person "wins" for your files (the account space drain too). 😉
PS: An easy check what account is in use go to here and put the token you use in the application there (the field labeled: Access Token). Next, click on "Submit Call" button. What are you getting as response and does it match your expectations? 🧐
