Reassign Dropbox App to different account
I'm currently developing an iPad app and applied for production status for dropbox usage which was granted. I then realised that my dropbox app is associated with my own personal dropbox account - rather than a work developer dropbox account. Is there anyway I can transfer my dropbox app from one account to another?

Update your Dropbox Python Core SDK
Hi! We have recently received a message indicating that the old version of the Python SDK we're using (1.6) is going to be deprecated on Aug 1, 2016. Had a couple of quick questions about this: * If we were to continue using the 1.6 SDK, what sort of issues should we expect? Will all API calls fail due to the expired…

Authentication to dropbox on tvOS

Is /save_url endpoint going to be removed in API v2?
My app is currently using the /save_url endpoint in API v1 to save files to Dropbox from a given URL. That is, you don't send the file directly, instead just the URL. But today, when I checked the docs of the upcoming API v2, I couldn't see any endpoint with this feature. There is only /upload endpoint which takes the…

Uploading to dropbox from an external link

From my MEGA account I have about 40gb of files that I want to…

Get contents of a shared folder
I have a web app built in PHP, so I'm using v1 of the Dropbox API. When I request the metadata for a folder, it only returns a list of entries (files in the folder) if the folder is not shared.

What is the suggested way of authentication users in a…
Rev in the Path
"Deprecated. Please specify revision in path instead This field is optional." is stated in the documentation. Does that mean, one should use just { "path": "rev:a1c10ce0dd78" } as path declaration? Is that unique in the whole dropbox? Or is there a form where you can combine the whole path together with the revision?

search in v1 vs v2
We were looking at migrating to v2, but it seems the search functions is incompatible. V1 is "must get substring match on all space separated components", which is pretty straightforward. But on v2 you need a perfect match on other parts except last (which is prefix). For one the v2 implementation is pretty strange (what's…
