OAuth with Dropbox API - Repeated App Confirmation

Question

Having this issue with my Dropbox App which is integrated with the OAUTH Dropbox API.

Orangedox for Dropbox

Application works fine except, everytime a user accesses the app (even after the first time) they are continuously prompted with a confirmation for the application to access their files and folders. Is this expected behaviour? or should this only occur once when the user first accesses the application?

Anyone have experience with the Dropbox API?

Answer 1

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what you're asking is why when you redirect the user to the auth page, they get prompted to "allow" the app even though they already have.

This app is using OAuth 1. Dropbox does do auto redirection for OAuth 2 if the user has already authorized the app. So if you use OAuth 2 instead, a user who has already authorized your app will be forwarded directly back to the app instead of being asked to click the Allow button first.
