Is App Folder access sufficient for shared folders?
I'm using SwiftyDropbox to create an iOS app that provides Dropbox syncing similar to 1Password, in that multiple users can edit and sync information between devices through a shared Dropbox folder. My question is: if one user creates a shared folder inside my app's folder on their Dropbox, would it appear in my app's…
migrating from API 1 to 2 - how do I know if I have OAuth 1 tokens?

Also, the migration guide describes using the…
save_url endpoint
Hi, I really would like to use the save_url endpoint to save user created data from a server to the user's dropbox account. Alas, I can't. In my case, and I am sure in many other applications too, access to the user data at the specified url requires inclusion of an authorization header in the GET request. The current…

Java: How do handle 404 and 50x errors?
I'm migrating from V1 to V2. In the past I an error code was an integer that I could look at. Now it's part of a string I presume (i.e. getMessage()). There are no examples of how the errors would look like if these are 40x errors or 50x errors. How do I handle these? What should I expect, say, if the storage has run out…

How do you create a shared link with a short url in the Obj-C v2 SDK?
I noticed that createSharedLink:shortUrl was deprecated, but I didn't see a proper way to get a short URL using createSharedLinkWithSettings:settings. Settings doesn't include a shortUrl flag. For now, I can survive with the long URL, but it would be nice to have the short URL like I was able to get in the Obj-C v1.
Did 404 change to 409 in v2?
I'm migrating Nebulous Notes to v2, and I noticed that if I sync a file that doesn't exist on DB, I get a 409, instead of 404. Is this intentional? I use the status check in my logic to determine whether or not to upload a file, and want to make sure I set it to the right code.

To facilitate this it was stated that examples would be provided to help out Dropbox Sync users with code…
API v2 listFolder with include_deleted: How far does that look back in history?
Hi, the documentation says about include_deleted: "If true, the results will include entries for files and folders that used to exist but were deleted." My question is: if I call listFolder with include_deleted, does that deliver all deleted items that *ever* existed in that folder, or is the scope limited by something…
