Hi @tiffanypham_2904, It's very likely you are in confusion. How did you decide that you have "a critical data loss incident"? 🧐 If the only reason is missing last modification date (it's just a part of metadata; not the entire metadata), it's not a criteria for data lost! Dropbox manages only files last modification date;…

" href URL of the file the Saver should add to the user's Dropbox. The Saver supports HTTP and HTTPS URIs. "

I cannot agree that such URL are not supported. The documentation mandates data be passed as URL without any limitation of the URL type. Only limitation is set to possible scheme related to URL passed as href; nothing else! Even more, till recently it always worked! Some recent change disabled this; I think this feature…

Yes, and the response status vary between 429 and 500 (depending on file size). This used to work for long time… (I don't remember how many years) I hope this is not result of some "new feature" 👿… and it will be fixed soon.

Hi @ogawatomo, Refresh token is permanent and it doesn't expire on its own. So: 1 - No. 2 - No. Good luck. 😉

Hello, If somebody else got in the same "boat", just keep in mind that Dropbox refuses to support the discussed here feature. 🤷 As seems it won't be supported anymore. In the same context (related to firewall settings), despite Dropbox application continue engaging all ports, functionality provided by port 17600 (and…

Hi @katylindblad, You have confused about how Dropbox mobile application keeps offline files. Years ago it used to be possible to access downloaded files on your local device file system; later Dropbox disabled such access (don't ask why; nobody here would be able answer). Now mobile Dropbox application downloads all files…

Hello @maldini2 (or any other interested), Keep in mind that most of the messages coming from Dropbox applications are templated to such a big extent that they may loose their meaning entirely (as in the current case). In particular case, there is no any issue with the connection to any server! As it seems the connection…

Hi @Hannah, Is there some chance this issue be fixed finally? 🤔 (as already mentioned after more than 2 years) PS: Can you initiate improvement of new community view so old scripts to stay visible as well? 🧐 Thanks! 😉

The problem is that Dropbox application on Linux downloads the files actually, but for whatever reason when (at the end) it comes to move downloaded files from cache to their final destination, files with attributes got wiped out. After that the "sync" process start anew ans so few more times. After number of tries the…

Hi @nicole65, What you reported is an old known bug, but as most of the Linux related things, this bug didn't accommodate too much attention (no any attention actually from Dropbox support). The scripts I posted there are even no readable (the entire script is a single line now) after new community forums edition came up.…

Hi @Nancy, For a screenshot, take a look here (and on many other places throughout the forum). This is an old application bug! And Please, stop asking about system requirements! Appearing of such a message would be impossible if there was an issue with system requirements. Please, ask your "developers" (no unintentionally…

Hi @Neal, It doesn't become clear what actually is "expected behaviour! Yes, according documentation it IS expected behaviour and nobody disclam this as far as I can see. Something else can be noted though and it is on the focus in OP - "This is contrary to standard Unix conventions" as noted already. Does it something…

Hi @tingting4751, As you noted, this is not officially supported Dropbox API and so it's unlikely you receive official response. About "Does it record the time the file was first uploaded?"; Yes that's correct. About "does it update every time the file is overwritten/re-uploaded?"; As seems you don't understand that your…

Thanks for issue fixing! 👍 Let's hope it won't come back again… 🤞 … Good luck!

Hi @Jay, As seems your last Linux packages update passed with lot of troubles! (once again…) You don't need user to report something to detect that repositories are malformed (or most of them at lest). Do somebody of you (your team) even check whether something work before or after release?! 🧐🤷 Rhetoric of course. The…

Hello, Is there some chance, this to get a step further? Current Dropbox application version is 244.4.6580, but it's still the same behavior! Backend support and application development seem got asleep - no any "signs nor sounds". 🤷 One of the issues (I don't say all) is related to a change in single config line (could be…

Hi @"Neal", At the beginning, I want to thank you for your help till now - the last repository issue. Now I want to engage you in another one quite similar issue. It's about Year 2038 problem that DEB package system resolve with adding new naming schema. This change reflects in all recent releases of Ubuntu, Debian, and…

Thanks @"Hannah", my reply is there already.

Hi @"Jay", Thanks for responding. As you can see it doesn't happen on any browser! For display purposes, on screenshots is Firefox, but actual issue is how Dropbox desktop application responses (take a look on last screenshot)! Please don't look on places where the issue cannot be. Dropbox application doesn't respond in…

Hi @"Neal", I want to report something little more urgent related again to your repository organization. I just tried to update my packages and found out that there is a bug in your repository (files size mismatch). In your repository the sign file (actually all 'InRelease' files), for 2 of the files there, is declared…

Yes, it is valid still and will be to year 2029 at least (as described in documentation you have research did on). After that, despite not fixed yet when, the…

Neal wrote:... we have a built in command which will convert dropbox.list to dropbox.sources. Hi @"Neal", I don't know what kind of command you have built, but your install still produces the old format. I just checked from the download page and select the newest deb file there. This file produces the old format still. The…

Hi @"jamwicket" , Take a look here: Issue in generating access token | The Dropbox Community I hope this helps

ConnorBrinton wrote:ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi Hi @"ConnorBrinton", You can try install missing module: sudo apt install python3-gi Does the same error appears after that? 🧐😉 Hope this helps to some extent.

Despite there is no due date for the old format (not yet at least), it's good idea update to be performed on time! 👍 More information: here and here for instance.

Hi again @"Kevin B.36", I tried to reproduce your issue, but honestly unsuccessful. About your speculations: Once setup correctly, Dropbox application doesn't change that file if you haven't forced it (link/unlink account), so "before the Dropbox app has initialized it" in context of just starting - impossible in fact.…

When you (or your tester) install your application on "clean install" and there is not yet Dropbox application installed, of course, where will apex.sqlite3 will come from?! 🙂 (if that's the case) The Dropbox folder (both that containing your data and that contain application setting) and everything contained inside are…

@"Kevin B.36", when you say "I do know at times when we install our Windows APP, there is no apex.sqlite3 file", can you clarify when such a situation happens? (some steps to reproduce) As far as I know only possible case would be when Dropbox application has never been installed at that point or not yet running (linked to…

Hi @"Kevin B.36", Unfortunately the feature you are asking for is something not supported officially. Most probably (I'm pretty sure) there is such option, but it's neither part of Dropbox API nor common use case. If I have to bet, the developers of Dropbox application are too lazy to give answer to your question (or maybe…
