Dropbox StaffI don't believe we have example code for using that. Perhaps you could share the relevant piece of code you have so far and show what you're stuck on (e.g., any unexpected error/output)? Be sure to redact any actual access/refresh tokens though.
1. This is the func for the dropboxOAuth process:
2. after a success, i get the Token from here:
3. Than when the app init, I use this reauthorizeClient :
From this point all works well.
The problem is only on the device that the dropboxOAuth process made, when trying on other device non works....
* You suggested to use the DropboxOAuthManager storeAccessToken.
But i dont see the storeAccessToken func gets as parameter a String for the Token value....
So I asked clarification from you please, how to use that func when I have the Token (As String) saved in my app.
thanks in advance!!!

Hi YanivB,
Why you decide that reauthorizeClient accepts access token? Take a closer look on method declaration and you'll see it accepts user ID (behind which there should be stored already some access token). In other words, you cannot pass access token in such a way.
By the way, passing access token with string (alone) will limit the time your application will be usable with a single token assignment. All access tokens at present are short lived! Just a reminding that for long term access you will need to deal with refresh token (eventually included within AccessToken object).
Hi,
Regarding the "Why you decide that reauthorizeClient accepts access token?" question, because that is the only parameter (As String) i see from SDK that present:
