Error -1017 "cannot parse response"
I am getting an error code -1017 "cannot parse request" from my app when it tries to download a file from Dropbox. This code has not changed for a while and has worked without trouble. I use the same code in my web app, again, without any problems. I am using the REST API in each case. Nothing fancy, pretty much exactly…
Problem with download Dropbox API
When I use the dropbox API to download a file, the file will be saved in the root path of my code(Q4.zip) as the picture. How can I download it from the browser and choose the file path which stored it in my computer? I'm using Reactjs as frontend and Spring boot for backend. .

Silent failures with files_upload and Python API
I am having trouble figuring out the right way to address this issue I am having with one of my apps. I loop over some files and create some worker threads (just a few threads) to upload files to Dropbox using files_upload. This works well except some small percentage of time some users report some files don't get…
Many users sharing files with my application using dropbox api
I have a web application where users can upload their files read/only to my application. Call this user_file_i. My application then creates a new file for each file the user uploaded. Call this output_file_i. My application can asynchronously update the output_file_i. I love the dropbox user experience, so would like to…

Corrupt OAuth2 Tokens
We did an integration with Dropbox about 2 years ago and it has been working quite well. However we have started having some issues where we get an error 422 no_permission when we make api calls for some clients despite having just gotten the token. It seems that the OAuth2 Token we get is sometimes unusable. If we get a…
ListFolderAsync Order Entries by Name
I got this one running. DropboxClient.Files.ListFolderAsync(<"">).Result.Entries Now how do I get the entries listed by name in descending order? There's this OrderBy(of ) function on Entries but I don't know what parameter to put.
Authentication
I would like to know if it is possible to perform the authentication process without the need for user interaction. From what I understand I could embed the token directly but it expires. It is with the objective of making an automated tool

dbxcli has been disabled!
The dbxcli app that you provide (and that we rely on) appears to have had it's access to the API revoked. All operations fail with a "This app is currently disabled". Thanks Dropbox, great move. This is going to take me hours to workaround until you can fix it.
Refresh Token Simulate
Hi, I am trying to test handling refresh tokens, but my machine never seems to get the expired token error but clients are. Is there a way to force the dropbox token to expire or a test server that will let me manually expire tokens, etc for testing?
400 BadRequest from .Net client when using refresh tokens
We are using the .Net SDK client vs 6.14. We primarily use the Files.GetMetadataSync and Files.SaveUrlAsync api calls.

application/binary type returned for media files
Hi, I am using gettemporarylink API to obtain url to the file that can be later played. That url when requested itself, returns wrong Content-Type header for media files. For example audio file with m4a extension now has Content-Type response header set to “application/binary” instead of “audio/mp4” or “audio/mpeg”. Such…
Dropbox Paper API: document revision and access history?
Hi, It would appear that it is currently not possible to retrieve Paper doc revision history metadata via the API. Do you plan to expose this via the Paper API? Perhaps not too dissimilar to the /list_revisions API, which works for Dropbox files. My use cases are around capturing collaboration events as triggers. I'm sure…

I finally have a version of my application (note, its not a web app, just a regular compiled app) that I've migrated from LL access tokens to SL access tokens.
