we have team dropbox account here @ work , have our own company dropbox accounts username/emails *.domain.com. i've been assigned task create nice web interface selection of assets stored in 1 of our designer's dropbox folder.
the task build node js app , use dropbox api read these files build nice interface files in designer's dropbox folder , other cool stuff. it's not sufficient use public viewing or sharing of particular folder dropbox allows. need custom , needs use api full control.
the thing confusing me why can't seem started, setting api access node js give me access designer's folder. don't mean code need, step step of involved. can't seem wrap head around having app access 1 particular company user's dropbox folder.
i starting use node-dbox sdk access dropbox api nodejs , messing around example auth in readme, flow doesn't seem right me? api seems based around allowing access app, having go external app etc. doesn't seem right in case? know specific user's dropbox want access too, , want app access it... it's trusted it's within company.
what steps involved in doing this? i'm stumped!
you'll need have target user authorize app once via oauth. @ end of oauth process, you'll receive access token can use access user's dropbox. need once, , can hardcode access token in app.
