Freek van der Herten has a new post with both a reminder and a solution to an upcoming change from the Dropbox service: the disabling of their v1 API (and a PHP package you can use to be prepared).

Last year on 28th of June Dropbox deprecated v1 of their API. On the same date this year they will turn off all v1 endpoints. If you’re using using Flysystem, Laravel or the official PHP SDK to work with Dropbox, it’s the time to update.

Last week my company released a Dropbox API client and a Flysystem Dropbox adapter that both use v2 of the dropbox API. In this blogpost I’d like to explain how to install and use these packages.

He then shows you how to update your Flysystem adapters to use this new adapter for Dropbox - basically a simple code change once the package is installed. He then moves on to updating a Laravel application, configuring it's built-in file abstraction with the new adapter via a DropboxServiceProvider. The post ends with a bit talking about the update of other types of PHP applications (not using Flysystem) that could make use of other packages to make the required updates.
