How to create a folder via PowerShell with Dropbox REST API?

Good morning.

I have been looking for a way to create a folder via PowerShell in Dropbox with REST API and I have not found a way to do it. I only found the forum http://rest-examples.chilkat.io/dropbox/powershell/chilkat_291.cshtml, but you need to buy a library. Can you help me to have an example using the Url https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2 where you don't have to buy an additional library.

Thank you so much.

Cordially,

Jairo Baleta.

We offer official SDKs for accessing the Dropbox API for free: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation#sdks We recommend using one of those whenever possible. For example, there's an official .NET SDK: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet

Otherwise, you can call the HTTPS endpoints for the Dropbox API directly, using whatever HTTPS client you want, such as something provided for free by your platform. For example, you can find the documentation for the /2/files/create_folder_v2 endpoint here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-create_folder

Many thanks Greg-DB for the answer.

Install-Package : Dependency loop detected for package 'Dropbox.Api'.

It's not clear why it would be claiming a dependency loop on Dropbox.Api; Dropbox.Api only depends on Newtonsoft.Json (>= 13.0.2), which does not depend on Dropbox.Api.

It looks like there's some information on this issue here; otherwise you may want to reach out to Microsoft for support for the installer.

Many thanks Greg-DB for the answer.

It worked for me using the command:

Install-Package Dropbox.Api -Destination ".\NugetPackages" -Force -Source 'https://www.nuget.org/api/v2' -ProviderName NuGet -SkipDependencies -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
