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…

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.

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?

The integration tests for rclone ( http://rclone.org ) have started failing for Dropbox. I haven't changed my code so I suspect something has changed at Dropbox.

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…

API v2 fileops/copy with from_copy_ref equivalent?

It seems as though there is no functional equivalent to this operation in v2 of the API. Am I…
