Dropbox help

[Mike Kerner]

Klaus,
The good news is that this is all fairly straightforward.
appKey, appSecret, tokenKey, and tokenSecret are all obsolete and should
not do anything.  You need the “Generated Access Token”.
1) Go to www.dropbox.com/developers/apps
2) Tap on your app
3) Scroll down to the “Generated access token” button.  Hit the button,
copy the code
4) This is your oauth2 token that you will use in your code
4.5) I have “allow implicit grant” set to “Allow” for several of my apps,
because it makes the process less complicated, but YMMV.  I do not fiddle
with the URL’s, redirects, webhooks, etc.
5) If you’re using 9, use LC’s dropbox library that is built into LC. If
you’re using 8, you can copy it from 9 or you can grab it from my github
repo (I’m a couple commits ahead of LC’s version due to a couple bug
fixes).  www.github.com/macmikey/lcdropboxlibrary
6) Grab Gerard’s dropbox 2 stack either from his repo or from mine so you
can do some testing with something we know works.  His api is slightly
different b/c Monte modified it when he added it to LC, but the syntax is
close enough and the mapping is 1:1.  Gerard has a couple of new features
he just added that have not been integrated into LC’s library, yet.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
