Dropbox Publishes OAuth Guide for API Developers
Dropbox has released a new guide aimed at developers who are just starting to work with the Dropbox API. The primary challenge many newcomers face is properly authorizing users through OAuth, the protocol Dropbox relies on to connect third-party apps with users' accounts.
The Dropbox API uses OAuth 2, an open standard, to handle this authorization process. The newly published Dropbox API OAuth guide provides an overview of OAuth and user authorization broadly. Dropbox is inviting feedback on the guide, either through comments on the announcement or via the Dropbox API development forum.
