Hi Roger, I wonder if how I approach things is of interest to you... I'm assuming that all your app users will be connecting their app to the same Dropbox account...
I save the Dropbox app-key and app-secret as a custom property in the main stack. When an 'originating' or main client gets the app they do all the main authenticating stuff with Dropbox and my app records the token-key and token-secret that Dropbox provides on successful completion of the process in a local SQLite database (these, together with the app-key and app-secret are what is needed) Then as long as your subsequent users of the app have some way to tap in the token-key and token-secret (sent by 'originating' client?) the app will re-connect to Dropbox and synch with the same Dropbox account the 'originating' user set up without having to do anything with a browser to sign-in, authenticate etc - the app and Guglielmo's library does all that. I have it set up so that on subsequent openings the user clicks on a 'Reconnect' button - actually I plan to offer the client a crude text messaging services by users writing to and reading the same text file in Dropbox - I've had apps on Windows, OSX and iOS all happily exchanging messages with each other :) Note 1: this method allows users to have their own Dropbox accounts whilst still accessing the Dropbox account that the 'originating' user set up via their app. Note 2: apps used by 'subsequent' users will need to have their own local storage to save the token-key and token-secret. BTW, I originally set up my app to work in 'sandbox' mode so that it is limited to it's own app folder within the Dropbox account. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Dropbox-Library-Update-tp4669868p4669881.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
