Authorize your application at DropBox and get the approval for public use

We got a lots of questions how to implement the security access token generation process and how to build a valid way to get an approval from the DropBox team for applications which are implemented with the SharpBox library. Our latest tutorial describes all details how to get an approval for your DropBox application aligned to their terms of use.

You will find the document on our tutorial page here: http://sharpbox.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=SharpBox%20Developer%20Tutorials

Just a couple of hints to increase the approval process:

  • Offer a demo instance of your web application or a demo installation of your fat client application to the DropBox team
  • Add a video of the implemented token creation process to your request for approval
  • Describe what your application is doing and how it uses DropBox very accurate

Have fun with integrating your app and the DropBox services!

# re: Authorize your application at DropBox and get the approval for public use

Hi!
Firstly, thank you for Sharpbox, i like it!

I read the tutorial and also a lot on discussion board on codeplex about authorization during my exercises on an test application about dropbox.

I have 2 questions. First, while i am implementing the code in tutorial you linked in this article i get an error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation." on line of exchanging request token to access token.

Another question is the procedure that you mention here to get approval for app. Should we get an approval for our app after complete it or the error i get is related with this approval? Cause i dont have any approval except for app key and app secret. and if yes, how can i get this approval?
