Trying to upload files to a folder shared from another account
My case is this. Our company will generates files that we pass off to another company for processing (printing, specifically). These files are not really big, say less than 100M each, PDFs.

What's the current api call limit for free plan?
So far this forum post is the closest to answering my question. The forum post said that "Free/Plus/Pro Dropbox accounts don't have any API limits at all" and "Dropbox has raised the "Data Transport Limit" from 25,000 calls per month to 1,000,000 per month". They're a bit contradictory so I'm asking it here again. So my…

Can the API be used to force a sync while PC is asleep
I have a python script running on a Windows server that writes a file to a local folder in the middle of the night, but dropbox does not sync until the next time I manually log into the box.

Frequency of saving credentials
I notice the Java SDK Android example only seems to save the "credential" (access token and refresh token) when it is initially created. Is there a recommended frequency for updating the credential in preferences or is that not necessary as long as the original refresh token is still valid?

Migration to new scopes necessary BEFORE migrating to PKCE and SLT
Hello! Just checking to see if it is necessary to first migrate a project to the new Scopes permission system before migrating to using PKCE and short-lived tokens. I notice that the Java SDK Android example requires the permissions migration but perhaps that's because it specifically uses the new scopes. Thanks!

Preparing my App for long-lived tokens deprecation
After reading this post I'm facing a similar scenario (also discussed here) regarding migrating my app to short-lived tokens. To my understanding, all existing long-lived tokens will still work, even after Sep. 30 but the option to create new ones will be disabled. Does that mean that all existing offline access apps will…

Thumbnails for >20MB photos
Hi Dropbox, The V2 docs clearly state that "Photos that are larger than 20MB in size won't be converted to a thumbnail". However in practice we seem to be getting valid thumbnails for files that are larger than 20MB. In addition, this seems like somewhat of an unusual size limit since frequently DSLRs will produce >20MB…

Confirming token refresh in SwiftyDropbox
As mentioned in another thread, I've been upgrading an app to use short-lived tokens... and it's going very smoothly now. So smoothly that I'm suspicious. How can I confirm that it's not actually still using the old long-lived tokens? We've changed the app setting on the Dropbox website to short-lived tokens (...at least,…

Short-lived token migration in Swift producing nil Client
I'm migrating an old Swift app to SwiftyDropbox 6.0.3 and short-lived tokens with refresh; our app needs offline access.

It just quietly fails…

I'm trying to download files in a folder that was created by another user and shared with the group. As I don't own the folder I can't seem to use any of the API calls under /files/ This also seems to cause any path options I provide to fail unless it's a path to my folders/files. The only API call that even shows the…

API endpoint to create symlinks
Currently, the Dropbox API will tell you if a remote file is a symlink and where it points to in the "symlink_info" field of the "FileMetadata". This is useful to know so we can either skip that file during download or create a corresponding local symlink. However, the reverse does not seem to be currently possible: How do…
