Just for detail description, I was also getting the same error and followed a sample project from the Ray Wenderlich tutorial sites.

Steps I have taken are as follows:

  1. register(create) your app on drop box developer.

  2. Choose DropBox API App

  3. Choose sub type i.e What type of data does your app need to store on Dropbox: Files and Data-stores

  4. Choose appropriate option Can your app be limited to its own folder?

  5. What type of files does your app need access to? ----> choose specific file type

For a full understanding have a look at attached snapshot:

Ya I support Piero answer and another reason is that the access token is invalid so I suggest you to add the DBRestClient instance in your appdelegate OpenURL function so, your appdelegate class will have some thing like this AppDelegate .m enter image description here

and in your ViewController add the DBRestClient instance from AppDelegate class in ViewDidLoad Method and your ViewController will looks something like this enter image description here

This solves the issue and working fine
