access_error/inside_osx_package/

Ashley B.10

I was wondering if any would could help. Is there any way to identify what items are in "osx_package". I get the following error when trying to get file permissions access_error/inside_osx_package/

 

Is there anyway to identify what's in a "osx_package"? How does Dropbox identify these? Is this exposed anywhere in the api?

Thanks

It sounds like you're referring to calling /2/sharing/get_file_metadata, and in some cases get the 'access_error.inside_osx_package' error back. Dropbox doesn't allow sharing these files like this (e.g., via /2/sharing/add_file_member) anyway, so there wouldn't be shared file metadata to return. 

 

We don't have documentation on how exactly Dropbox classifies these, or otherwise some other way on the API to detect these ahead of time (e.g., from the non-sharing file metadata endpoints), but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. That being the case, I recommend relying on catching that error when it does come up.
