I'm using SwiftyDropbox to create an iOS app that provides Dropbox syncing similar to 1Password, in that multiple users can edit and sync information between devices through a shared Dropbox folder.
My question is: if one user creates a shared folder inside my app's folder on their Dropbox, would it appear in my app's folder on the other user's Dropbox? Is App Folder access enough for me to access a shared folder on both users accounts or would that require Full Dropbox access?
Just as a side note: 1Password requires Full Dropbox access, but I wanted to be sure I was using the least priviledged access possible.
Apologies for the delay! There was an issue with the forum and I was only just notified of your post.
Anyway, no, files and folders inside one user's app folder are not automatically accessible to other users.
Also, app folders are incompatible with shared folders. That is, app folders can't contain shared folders, be contained in shared folders, or themselves be shared as shared folders.
If you need your app to interact with shared folders, you'll need to use full Dropbox access.
