Get help with the Dropbox API from fellow developers and experts.
Hello, I wrote a small script that creates a dump of a database and then uploads it to Dropbox. I've been using this script on several sites for years. But I recently opened a new dropbox account, and this new account will contain only sites backups (keeping the former one only for my own data). So I created a new app,…
Hello everyone, I know that there are other issues related to this but I did not find anything that really helped me. I'm trying to upload images (.png) from my PC to dropbox via an application that I already created. I'm doing this using a python script I wrote. The part that concerns the dropbox upload is the following:…
I'm integrating with the Dropbox API and want to use /create_shared_link_with_settings to create a public folder view link with an expiration date so anyone who has this link can open it. However, I see that this endpoint can produce a too_many_shared_folders error. As I understand, this error refers to sharing a folder…
Hello, I am currently using an app with the Dropbox API. I can access the user's folder without any issues — it works well. A user also wants to connect their account, but they are part of a business account and would like to access the team folders. I tried connecting with their account, but it always redirects me to…
I have a file that gets edited multiple times a day. There was content in this file that was only visible for a couple days about a month ago. What is the best way to get that information? I tried using the web interface, but it was clear that it would take hours of loading previous versions to get back that far. I did…
Hi, I am trying to get the metadata for a specific revision of a file, with V1 I used to do: metadata = client.metadata(FileName, list=False, file_limit=1, hash=None, rev=revN, include_deleted=False) then I had it in "metadata['modified']". Now I can only see how to download a particular revision or get the metadata for…
How could I get the all revisions of one file with API v2, the v1 could get the recent 1000 revisions v2 the parameter limit range is [1, 100] so how should I get the all revisions or how many revisions about the file? Thanks.
API v2 allows access to a paltry 100 revisions (for one, this makes unlimited version history useless for apps which offer backup-style features on top of the revisions feature.) You should be able to page through all revisions.
Dear Dropboxers, In API v1, the list of revisions for a file included information that seems to missing in the new API v2. Specifically: A. In the old API, if a while was created, then deleted, then re-created, the intermediate deletion was visible in the results returned by /revisions (as a "revision" which simply had the…
I see in some places (maybe referring to API v1?) that the revision limit is 1000, but it appears to be only 100 now. Is there any way to raise the limit higher than 100?
