What error are you getting? Be sure to check the response body, as it will contain detailed error information.

Based on your description though, it sounds like the issue is that you're calling /files/get_metadata for the root folder, which isn't supported, per the documentation:

"Note: Metadata for the root folder is unsupported."

If you want to list the files in the root, you should use /files/list_folder and /files/list_folder/continue.

Hi Gregory,

Actually I'm trying to display the list of all images of a user that are available in dropbox. For this i'm now doing /files/list_folder to get all the files and then /files/get_temporary_link to get the links of each files.

But the process is becoming so slow that i have to call the/files/get_temporary_link API for each image available. Is there any way to get all the temporary link of the images at once.

Thanks

Karthik

Hi Karthik, there's no need to post the same question multiple times. I'll follow up in your new thread.
