@"Thang2000", you're getting that error because you have passed invalid argument - path in Dropbox (to either file or folder) cannot end in slash! That's it. Hope this helps.

@"squidlauncher64" wrote:... This is for an application for mobile devices. I would prefer to be directly routed back to the phone app to handle the access tokens. ... Yes, you can do it. That's exactly what 'db-<APP KEY>' scheme is for (where <APP KEY> is your application's key). Your application should be ready to handle…

Hi @"squidlauncher64", You're providing too few info for what actually you're going to do. Why at all you need special scheme for your application? In general Dropbox API supports only HTTPS scheme as redirect URI and HTTP if the host is 'localhost' only. On mobile devices are supported also 'db-<APP KEY>' schemes. As far…

Hi @"tttrue", As seems every consecutive redesign of either application or website is confirmation that Dropbox does only restrictions the users 🤷 unfortunately. The issue is that "Calculate size" entry is completely stripped out of top ellipsis menu (not just for multi-selection, but at all). Bad design decision! The only…

@"Cobie van Gils", 🤔 as can be seen in the browser view on background you have never logged out of Dropbox. Most probably you keep logged in the account you don't want to use. Did you try log out in advance? 🧐

@"Rusquel" wrote: ... No idea why the token is lasting less than 24 hrs now whereas before if was unlimited. ... Hi @"Rusquel", First of all keep in mind that there are different types of token. Some of them are lasting forever some are with limited validity in time. There was a change some time ago (long time ago already)…

Hi @"dmartinez", By default you can access only files/folders residing within your private user folder on Business account with space configuration - nothing outside. In this context: @"dmartinez" wrote: ...so i have an error downloading it and after i see the entry i have this in the metadata path_display=NOT_SET,…

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…
