Re: Failed to Load Request Error when using Chooser API
While this works now on single file selection. With a larger multi-file selection (20 or so files) it is failing with the same error. This doesn't happen every time, but happens pretty often. It appears there is a timeout set. If that timeout is exceeded, it will fail to add the files. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Minimal code needed to access a team user's space using a Generated access token on macOS
I am looking to add Dropbox access to a locally run utility in house. In other words, this project will never ship to other users and more simply it will never need to be accessed with user interaction. (It will just be selectively enumerating the storage for a known user in the team space) In the SwiftyDropbox README it…

Webhook questions. Also, a way to get actual events?
Dropbox webhooks seem to go conspicuously out of their way to be mysterious in nature. When we receive a webhook, we use a cursor that we're responsible for maintaining to enumerate entries in a directory that the events are supposed to be for, but there appears to be no way of reading the specific events that induced the…
Erroneous webhook notifications
I'll do a handful of operations over a specific directory, and I'll seemingly get N webhook notifications a moment later. However, I'll get one or two notifications five or ten minutes later, and the cursor (for that specific directory) will not enumerate anything. What is this?
Get thumbnail API issue for the last 24 hours
Hi, Our app is using the dropbox node.js SDK v10.32.0 to get a thumbnail of an image.

How to create a folder in a team shared folder and make it accessible to a small part of the team
Hi, I am currently using Make (a no code platform) to automate the creation of a folder in a shared folder after the start of a new project. The issue is that everyone (30 ~) have access to that folder, when only a small portion (usually 2 – 4) of that team actually need to have access to it. I read the API documentation,…

ES modules for the modern web
All of the examples I've found use outmoded global scripts, and your Javascript SDK is not available in ES module form. I suggest you modernize your SDK packaging, and also modernize your examples. Not only will this improve security, but it will also enhance the public perception of Dropbox among web developers.
