Hello,

I would like to know, if it's possible to use any kind of scripting like Powershell or Rest API, to transfer files and folders of a user to a (backup folder) before deleting his access?

We need this to automate deprovisionning of resources assigned to employees in our company.

Thank you in advance,

While not considered a "REST" API in particular, Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here. We recommend using one of the official SDKs, but you can also call the API directly from any platform that can make HTTPS requests.

 

By the way, note that if you're on a Business team, you can have Dropbox transfer files from a team member when de-provisioning them. You can find more information on that feature in the help center here.
