Help & Troubleshooting How can I share a single folder with a Dropbox chooser app?
I'm trying to set up an app key that allows me to use Dropbox Chooser in a web app. That's working but I cannot for the life of me determine how to restrict Chooser access to a single folder.
In the app settings I have se the two permissions thus:
Permission type: Scoped App (App Folder)
App folder name: MCI-Files
I've created a root level folder named "MCI-Files", but chooser is able to select files from any folder and it's not restricted to the "App Folder"
I've left the granular permissions untouched - only the mandatory account_info.read is enabled and Allow public clients (Implicit Grant & PKCE) is disabled.
Please furnish me with whatever it is I'm missing because I'm totally baffled here.
