Hi @"Cobie van Gils", You can always reset the Dropbox configuration (and the same for any other application). So, you make it "forgets" about what account has been logged in before. 😉 After exiting/quitting, remove the application folder (i.e. Dropbox folder) from local application data folder (take care that it's NOT…

@"rohitkmk" wrote:..., if I use an App created by Administrator to call the List Folder API, will the API list all the folders in response? It doesn't matter who's the owner/creator of the application. What/how the application can access depends on how application authenticates (i.e. on behalves of who is authenticated)…

Yes @"rohitkmk", by default your user folder could be accessed only. Did you set 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header to change this? (your headers stay invisible on the screenshot) If not, try it. 😉 Good luck.

Hi @"Aadi12", The error message is clear enough, I think. As seems you have used 'Dropbox-API-Select-User' header in you request (either directly or through some SDK method), but your authorization/permission is NOT supposing it. 🤷 Just wipe it out. 😉 Hope this helps.

@"b333fy" wrote:... However when I do a simple var list = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(string.Empty); It returns no items though I have many folders and subfolders in my account. ... Hi @"b333fy", What type is your application - full access Dropbox application or "App Folder" type? 🧐 Keep in mind that "App Folder" app…

@"mfVicom" wrote:... So, is there a way to make app folder a shared space? Hi @"mfVicom", No, there is no such a supported way. App folder is supposed to be something very private, not as you might assume application specific across accounts. It just restricts the application full access and lets it access only one…

Hi @"rohitkmk", As Greg already mentioned, app authentication can be used for information that doesn't need access to particular account (either personal or business) - listing public accessible shared links or at most password protected (the one you can provide thorough the call parameter). App Authentication identifies…

@"chainsbomb" wrote:My app is single-page server-side javascript/HTML, but I don't use Node. ... Hi @"chainsbomb", It's not mandatory to use any library or so to access Dropbox API, in spite I cannot imagine what's such an environment that cannot use anything similar. Anyway, the only mandatory thing is ability to perform…

Hi @"HADES", Glad to hear your upload is working already. 😉 Why do you use different path when you try get link? The path has to be the same one used on file upload or received on listing your containing folder. Don't assume something else, like what you see in your web browser or based on local Dropbox folder content! All…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:..., substituting in 'dropboxusercontent.com' in Dropbox shared links like this is not something that Dropbox documents and may break without notice, and we can't offer technical support for issues that occur when doing so. Hm...🤔 Greg, you may need to inform your shared links product manager about that!…

@"Adawntoremember" wrote: Any information would be awesome @"Adawntoremember", Yes, fully agree. 😉 Some information about what exactly you're doing and what confuses you would be nice. Where you're struggling and some code snippet together with unexpected output representing eventual issue you met with would be useful too.…

@"chakmangoo" wrote:... I am looking for function/code that takes URL as parameter and returns filePath ("folder1/sub-folder1/fileName.m4v") Hi @"chakmangoo", It's only possible if the authenticated account is the one that own the shared link. In such a case you can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata. Hope this helps.…

Hi @"dmartinez", For long term access you need refresh token. If a supported SDK is in use just proper initialization is enough (for the rest SDK takes care), otherwise tracing access token validity and refresh whenever needed should be performed. So you wouldn't need "to give permision to acces dropbox" (no repeatedly at…

@"dragon v2" wrote:@"Здравко" Can you please help me with the steps to test this API in Postman? Hi @"dragon v2", Hm..🤔 To be honest I'm not quite sure how could help you (what you actually need). On documentation it's clear enough, I think, what every particular query need to be and according to this you may 'instruct'…

@"chakmangoo" wrote:... I have the files in the folder and token are not expired as well. Any idea what could be wrong? Hi @"chakmangoo", I believe you about your files and probably there is nothing wrong with them. When you list them you will get back correct list, I believe too. 😉 In meantime, what do you see here? 🧐…

To be honest, I haven't tried (haven't need), but you may do it by "hands". Shouldn't be so difficult to join names and value using = and & (no additional encoding steps needed in particular - all value are URL compatible already). Right? 🙂

In addition why are you using application/json encoding? It requires application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST parameters. 😉

Hi @"emretezisci", Haha..😁 Ok, Yes, a little confusing message, maybe. Don't catch to the words. What grant type you are declaring in fact? 🧐 Nothing? 🤔 🙃 It's something required, cannot be nothing. 😉 Hope this gives direction.

In a very similar way, just instead of single access token, use refresh token and application key/secret for the client object initialization. Everything else can stay the same. Hope this gives direction.

In such a case you need a bit older version (newer versions are incompatible): sudo dpkg -i dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb Hope this helps. 😉

Hi @"BobMCT", Hm... 🤔 I also have nothing like that, but Dropbox application is installed and works still. Can you clarify how exactly you're trying to install that .deb file and where you got query for that 'girl'? Or even better, try install in terminal using the command like: sudo dpkg -i dropbox_2023.09.06_amd64.deb If…

@"oalmeida" wrote:Yes, I confirm, I saw they install the desktop app, and start using DB in their new computer. Hi @"oalmeida", Yes, you're confirming, but are they confirm the steps Rich pointed to are over? 🙂 They are something different!

Hi @"HADES", Just keep in mind that no any real Dropbox API call can be seen in the code you shared. Another thing is that all access tokens are short lived, so wherever you perform actual API calls it's likely to fail after some time (typically 4 hours). For long term access you need refresh token. If a supported SDK is…

@"Zard", I hope you understood how it works finally. You can do whatever you want once you have client object created and initialized properly (including everything enumerated by you, but not only). Whether it's convenient for you and is it fine for usage - it's your decision. Something more, the frontend of your page has…

@"berniewalp" wrote:... What seems to have worked (why?): ... Hi again @"berniewalp", I did suppose you have installed the official package and was wrong. You still haven't installed it, but only installed the daemon directly and that's the reason why your autorun didn't work. 🙂 It's a bug in the daemon - expects there is…

@"Zard" wrote:It's my fault, I am using Net Core, the examples code of .net is too old, I can't understanf them. ... Hi again @"Zard", Yes, the examples can be more... familiar/convenient to newbie users... for sure. @"Zard" wrote:..., and I see Token Flow can get token directly, so I wan to try it, but I can't get data…

Hi @"Zard", There are number of examples showing it. What would be best for you depends on what tools you're using. A good example, I think, can be seen here. 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"developerscorpio", First, keep in mind that temporary link cannot point to a folder! If you need link to a folder (and indirectly to files within that folder) you have to use shared link created using /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. To the parameter "path" of endpoint /2/files/get_temporary_link you can…

Hi @"berniewalp", Are you sure you have installed properly your Dropbox application using appropriate official package? 🧐 Try following command in a terminal to see if correct values will get back: dropbox version Post the result for comparison. If the previous command gives correct result, easy workaround would be…

@"white1" wrote:I don't see any error while creating a shared link manually. ... Hi @"white1", Yes, you don't receive such an error while create shared link manually, but the user represented with the token in use would. The user is banned actually. Anyway, you just disclosed a mistake in Dropbox Python SDK - cannot handle…
