How to connect to a dropbox account

Does anybody know how the users of my app can connect to their dropbox account and retrieve and save files?

I've tried Guglielmo's dropbox library but to my understanding you need an app key and app secret and then it's connected to my own dropbox.

Hi Sjatplat

Guglielmo's library, together with registering as a developer on Dropbox, creating a Dropbox 'app', and embedding it into your app is all you need to either have users connect to their own Dropbox account (which is what you want to do) - or even more impressively to connect to a different account.

I recorded a very bad video on the process a while ago, I'll try and find it and post a link to it here...

OK I found it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l56QQja4cWU remember it's a very bad video but the technology in it (especially Guglielmo's library) is cool

PS: I have the whole process shown in the video running a lot nicer nowadays :)
