Programmatically find out linked user account info

Hi,

 

Is it possible to get the information of the current dropbox linked user on the windows?
I need at least a username and email address of desktop dropbox client.
I do not want to use dropbox API, because I do not know credentials and cannot authenticate with this user.

 

Thanks

    No, unfortunately there isn't a way to do this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

     

    The closest thing currently is the info.json file, but it doesn't include username or email address.
