MediaInfo metadata not showing for PNGs or GIFs etc.
Hi Dropbox, Based on the V2 docs for files/list_folder, it appears that passing "include_media_info": true should enable the MediaInfo photo metadata for image files.

SwiftyDropbox is not production-ready
I need "time taken", "video duration" metadata values for user videos. It's not supported in iOS SDK v1 (Dropbox-iOS-SDK), so I decided to use SDK v2 (SwiftyDropbox). 1.

bug in get_temporary_link / special characters
Hi guys, I'm playing around with the dropbox v2 api and found a problem which I'm fear might be a bug: Whenever I call "get_temporary_link" related to a file with a special character ( like German Umlaut ä ) in it's name, the api returns a temporary link that results in an error 500. All other files without those special…

When obtaining a shared link via an API call, the unique ID that is returned as part of the shared link URL is 15 characters, based on my initial experimentation. Is that a fixed length?

Obtaining shared link from VBA (API v2) - 409 Conflict
I have the following code which I modified slightly from this link. The return is a 409 Conflict error.
