I need a help on automating Transfer a copy process. I really need that certain feature to be automated. Specifically in python. However, as far as I know it is not supported in the API at the moment. Is there any suggestions or walk-arounds?
Hi @Doodles4060,
There isn’t a Dropbox API endpoint that can automate copy or transfer files.
This automation would need to be implemented on your side using the Dropbox API. I’m not able to provide guidance on developing the automation, but other developers in the forum may be able to share their insights. Dropbox does offers 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:

You can use the /2/files/copy_v2 endpoint to copy files with the Dropbox API. Another option is to use the /2/files/copy_reference/get and /2/files/copy_reference/save to copy files between accounts
