Facing problems getting the Access Token from a user on Windows Form
Hi there: I actually asked this on StackOverflow but I got no answer yet. The thing is that I'm trying to generate the access token from the user but I can't "capture" the generated token and I'm afraid that asking for permission generates a new access token everytime, so the previous one remains invalid. The point is that…
V2 API - error message format
Objective C DBRoulette PhotoViewController.m "downloadImage".

Get only files or only folders in a directory with Swiftydropbox
How would I go about to get a list with only files or only folders in a directory. As far as I know, I can get the metadata with the client.files.getMetaData, but that seems like a backwards way of doing it by first getting all files and then getting all metadata. Especially if I have basically two closures in each other…

Dropbox doesn't seem to have left that year and still hasn't…
