How to Dropbox API App Console to increase their app’s user limit?
Use the Dropbox developer console to allow more testers for your app before going to production by Enabling Additional Users.
Prerequisites
- A Dropbox account with access to the Dropbox App Console.
- An existing Dropbox API app (created in the console).
Step-by-step
- Open the Dropbox Developer App Console and sign in.
- Select your existing app from the apps list.
- Go to Settings in the app sidebar.
- Scroll to Development users.
- Click Enable additional users (or toggle it on).
- Add the email addresses of the users you want to grant access to, and save.
What this does: Enabling additional users lets you invite more people to test your app in development mode without making the app production-ready.
Understanding limits
- Development users: Intended for testing. There is a cap on how many users can be linked in development mode.
- Production apps: For broader/ public use. Submit your app for production review if you need more users than the development cap allows.
Tips & Troubleshooting
- If users can’t link, confirm their email matches their Dropbox account and that they accepted the invite.
- Re-check the app’s Permissions/Scopes if access errors occur.
- When you’re ready for a larger audience, submit for production from the app console.
Path recap: Developer Console → Your App → Settings → Development users → Enable additional users
