Dropbox Extension and Access token

[Vladyslav]

Hi all, I have question as developer, it is possible to get access token immediately when user click on button 'Open with', as I understand, my app should authenticate the user, but in some extensions the file opens immediately and I don't pass oauth authentication, but to open the file need an access token, please tell me how this is possible?

Thanks for the post. It sounds like you're referring to the new "Extensions" functionality. When using this, it's not possible to automatically get an access token directly from the "Open" or "Share" flow. You need to have the user authorize the app using the OAuth flow first. 

(By "some extensions the file opens immediately and I don't pass oauth authentication" it sounds like you're referring to some custom integrations we have with select partners. That's not publicly available though.)
