Concurrency support - follow up

Question

Following up on https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/Concurrency-issue-failed-to-grab-locks/m-p/132270

Is the limitation that concurrent access to same users account would fail with "Failed to grab locks" still there? Any difference between dropbox personal vs enterprise?

I did see that in another there was mention of copy_batch, but that is only for copying multiple files/folders which are already uploaded to dropbox right?

We are looking to do concurrent downloads and uploads to the same dropbox enterprise user.

Thanks,

Yes, that limitation still exists. The type of account doesn't affect this.

And yes, /2/files/copy_batch only enables you to copy multiple files that already exist on Dropbox.

The /2/files/upload_session/finish_batch endpoint does allow you to commit multiple files that you're uploading at once though. For more information on how to use this, please refer to the data ingress guide:

For reference, lock contention doesn't apply to downloads, as you're not modifying the account.
