Python. Get full storage information

vas1992

Hello. How can I display the full size of my storage using python?

I was able to get only the occupied volume:

print(dbx.users_get_space_usage().used)

The only thing I could do was get this:

print(dbx.users_get_space_usage().allocation)

Result:

SpaceAllocation('individual', IndividualSpaceAllocation(allocated=2147483648))

I don't know how to extract "allocated" from here.

@vas1992 Здравко is correct; here's what a simple usage of this may look like:

allocation = dbx.users_get_space_usage().allocation
if allocation.is_individual():
    print("Individual allocation:")
    print(allocation.get_individual().allocated)
elif allocation.is_team():
    print("Team allocation:")
    print(allocation.get_team().allocated)

Hi @vas1992,

You can do it like any other field on any other object in Python (as programing language). Just read what you have got in documentation. 'users_get_space_usage' method returns SpaceUsage class object. You have successful get in touch to 'used' field of this object (type int). 👍

The other field of the same object - 'allocation' - is not basic type, but another object! The object's type is SpaceAllocation - an union of individual and team allocation data. Since your account is individual (in the particular case, but you should check it in a common case), 'get_individual' method is applicable. This method result is of type IndividualSpaceAllocation class. I believe it's easy to see that field 'allocated' can be accessed here (int type) in the same way you are accessing 'used' field before. 😉 Take a look here too.

Hope this clarifies matter.

Something I did not understand at all. It is possible as much as possible in detail, for stupid?

I use:

print(dropbox.users.SpaceAllocation('individual', value=None).get_individual())

I am getting an error:

Of course, when you are using invalid object, errors can be expected. Even more, would be strange if it passes without error.

Thank you for helping me.
