files/download rejects the authorization URL query parameter (401), but files/upload accepts it
About a week ago, POST content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download started returning 401 when I pass the access token via the authorization URL query parameter (the CORS workaround from the docs). The same token works if I pass it in the Authorization header instead. The URL-parameter method still works on files/upload and…
dbxcli: Manage Dropbox From Your Terminal
Hi everyone — I'm Andrey from the engineering team. I wanted to share a tool some of you might find handy: dbxcli, a command-line app for working with your Dropbox without opening the web UI. We recently shipped updates with JSON output support, streaming uploads, and improved CI/automation readiness — so it felt like a…
Introducing myself
Hi there! I'm Angie, and I'm part of the Dropbox Customer Success team.

Question about offline refresh token expiration and rotation behavior
I'm implementing a server-to-server batch integration using the Dropbox API v2 with OAuth 2.0. I'm using token_access_type=offline to obtain a refresh token, and calling grant_type=refresh_token before each batch run to get a fresh access token.

API metadata rate‑limit lockout during large backup — please advise
Hi Dropbox Support, I'm on a 3 TB plan and I'm backing up a large music‑production library (~1.2 TB, ~130,000 files) to my Dropbox using rclone. After several backup runs today, my account's metadata/listing API appears heavily rate‑limited: a request to list even my 8 top‑level folders returns nothing after 20+ seconds…
CORS preflight for is randomly returning status code 400 (bad request)
It's difficult to reliably view preflight (OPTIONS) calls in Chrome or Firefox, so I installed Fiddler to see what's going on.

Where to create the templates for Dropbox Sign API?
We intend to use the API for Sign but am not sure where we should create the templates.
Bandwidth attribution for get_temporary_link minted by shared folder collaborator (not file owner)
Hi all I'm building an app on the Dropbox API and need a definitive answer on how daily sharing bandwidth is attributed in one specific shared-folder scenario. I've laid the setup out below with labelled accounts to remove any ambiguity. Setup Account O ("owner"): an end user's Dropbox account that owns a folder of files.…
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.
