Is it possible to load a small part of a file?
I'm using the Sync API on iOS. The app deals with a lot of large data files which have information in their header. I'd like to display this information (perhaps less than 1kb of data) to the user without having to download a file (anywhere up to 50mb and beyond). I can only find a way to load the entire file into an…
[SwiftyDropbox] client.files.listFolder(recursive: true) doesn't list shared folders
Hi guys, a trouble we have here is fairly simple to reproduce. We're using Client.files.listFolder(recursive: true) for scanning a particular directory and its subdirectories to quickly find files with necessary extensions. It was working good and great until we noticed that it doesn't exactly work with shared folders.…
Sending cursor parameter to delta to get complete listing of files
I'm trying to get a complete listing of files from a dropbox folder using the /delta endpoint. The folder contains around 3400 files, and it seems a call to /delta returns 2000 items, with has_more set to true. I'm assuming then, that I would need to make 1 more call to get the remaining 1400 files. However, no matter how…

Java API v2 Longpolling SocketTimeoutException
I always get SocketTimeoutException when invoking: client.files.listFolderLongpoll(cursor, 60); According to the docs it should just return a result with the "changes" flag set to false. How can I fix that? (Using dropbox-core-sdk-2.0-beta-5.jar).

A dirty workaround is to subclass StandardHTTPRequestor but ideally would like to…
