Get help with the Dropbox API from fellow developers and experts.
Very new to the platform, all help appreciated. My aim is to populate my iOS app with some files that originally resides in a shared Dropbox folder, either by downloading them to the local device, or somehow copy the content of the folder to the app's Dropbox folder from where I can download copies to the app for offline…
Note: I just created a new App Key/Secret for my App to - I'm now using the App Folder permission instead of Full Permission (which I believe is way less scary for users to grant permission and appropriate for my App too). This flow used to work with my old App Key/Secret. I have a…
As it is mentioned in this forum regularily, Dropbox doesn't offer an API for accessing comments unfortunatly. But is this API access possible with the recently released Replay Add-On? If no, is it planned?
I would need to know if it is possible to retrieve the comments written for a shared file (comment and position) and if it is possible to upload new comments or answers from a desktop application using CURL. Haven't found at the API list. Thanks.
Hi, I need to find a way to connect my app with Dropbox. I am moving from a Xamarin.iOS app to .net Maui due to Xamarin not being supported anymore. (I can't just change my app to the new .NET as the libraries I used were not ported) Everything I find onlines shows doing this with a webview, but that is no longer allowed.…

While I agree that the Chooser may need to ask for login, that's fine. A problem…

When there are a lot of requests to the API, at some point a 503 - ServiceUnavailable error code is returned. The documentation does not cover this case (https://developers.dropbox.com/error-handling-guide mentions 500, but not 503). In the .NET SDK there's this note:…
I am making a webapp that lets user store, edit and view text files on their Dropbox account (from app folder). I would want to embedded images into that text, with images that are also saved on user's Dropbox. Can I do it without create_shared_link_with_settings? Is there a way to get a link that only owner of that image…
