Is there an API like Google Drive OAuth for Limited-Input Device Applications

Is there an API like Google Drive OAuth for Limited-Input Device Applications

Hello,
I am a small printer engineer.
I want to connect DropBox with my printer application.
But my printer UI is so poor that I can't sign up for DropBox. GoogleDrive offers a sign-up method for smaller UIs. Is there something like this in Dropbox?
(HP printers uses this procedure.)

 

"OAuth 2.0 for TV and Limited-Input Device Applications"

<https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/limited-input-device>

 

Thanks,

No, Dropbox doesn't support this limited input OAuth flow, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

 

You could likely implement something to that effect on top of the Dropbox API OAuth 2 code flow though. That would require you to maintain your own server however.

@diabolusss No, I don't have news on this right now. I'll follow up here if/when I do.

Need more support?
