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…

Hi @"developerscorpio", There is "Dropbox-API-Select-User" header that has to be used with appropriate team member id. For supported SDKs, if you have used, there are corresponding methods where the same id can be passed to. Hope this helps.

Hi @"jroe", At the beginning, check your application for possible updates and make sure you're using up to date version. If this cannot help, signal to application developer for the issue. Good luck.

Hi @"CASU", I can try speculate what's wrong with your code, but it's always better when you're saying what's going wrong - unexpected output, error messages, etc. First do you make somehow sure that every 30 seconds you will have new 'latest image' without existing link? 🧐 If no, when you're going to create new one, you…

@"southpaw3229" wrote:... How do I save permissions? ... Hi @"southpaw3229", There is "Submit" that has to be selected at the end, after permissions change, so the change becomes saved: Did you do this? 🤔😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"pmjboyle", Unfortunately, Dropbox doesn't allow unlimited transfer rate (or if allow it's for limited period only). That's why you're receiving such error. Instead of increasing parallelism, better limit explicitly to one download at a time. Would works much more stable in spite slower. Hope this helps.

Hi @"Lau85", Make sure you have selected the size column check mark: Hope this helps.

@"Takashi Homma" wrote:I would like to know whether the folder that specified in the Chooser widget is under a team folder or a user folder. Is there an appropriate API for this? Hi @"Takashi Homma", There is no direct API call that gives you that information. Once you get the file path (in the metadata) you can compare…

@"soubriquet" wrote:I'm just starting out with the Dropbox API and am trying to just see all my files that I had manually uploaded to my account. ... ... # Call the function to list files and get share links path = '/production' list_files(path) Hi @"soubriquet", Hm...🤔 Are "all your files" stored in "production" folder? 🧐…

@"daynightdev" and all other interested, There are many undocumented Dropbox calls. Some of them may be useful in different cases (like the current one). One workaround, I know about, is usage of a call that deals with shared links (unfortunately that is inapplicable to temporary link). To use it, reorganization of files…

Yes, in such a case you may considered exponential back off If no header denoting proposed delay. Unfortunately, there is not 'bunch' version to get links at once.

@"daynightdev", in addition to Greg's proposal, you may considered usage of links (either permanent or temporary) and let client's browser to manage downloads itself. 😉 Good luck.

Hi @"Mohanraj_M_Roftr", In short, that error message means that on the path, where you are trying to finish your upload, is already an existing file and your call parameters don't allow such situation. You may change another place to upload your file or another file name to avoid the conflict. Also selecting overwrite mode…

Hi again @"sisrael1", Yes, I understood what you mean. 🙂 @"sisrael1" wrote:... so this auth flow as described in that post needs to happen when and where exactly? ... At any moment before you're going to use your system (let's say right now would be fine). That flow needs to be performed a single time only and, as…

@"sisrael1" wrote:..., so how can i implement a refresh token process without any interaction? ... Hi @"sisrael1", Without any interaction - impossible. Unfortunately, Dropbox doesn't provide a way to receive refresh token as it was for long lived access token (not yet at least). You need to perform one interaction, at…

Hi @"cmpl2022", Yes, Dropbox access tokens are short lived and expire in few hours (typically 4 or so). Doesn't matter how they are received! The way to achieve long term access is usage of refresh token (offline access). In such a way you can "refresh" (create new access token programmatically, without further user…

Hi @"Carl HR", I think, you have misinterpreted the topics you have read. The thread safety there is evaluated in regards of ability to transfer session state between threads (something not guaranteed while using default Python requests library). When everything (Dropbox API call needs) is set explicitly, you don't need to…

@"Mgymnasts" wrote:... My question is: when it says "you get feull access to all the files and folders in a user's dropbox", ... Hi @"Mgymnasts", At the beginning let me clarify that you application can have Full access and App folder access and that's something completely different with application permissions (expressed…

@"chemical21" wrote:We need a clear full functional example, how ... One example in Python can be seen here. It's easy to "translate" it to any other programing language, convenient for you. In every SDKs are examples too. @"chemical21" wrote:... Get Autorization code in plain easy way ... What do you mean "code in plain…

@"BradHenderson" wrote: ... each operator will have their own database so there won’t be a conflict. ... Oh..🙂 That makes the thing easy. In such a case you're not limited in any way and can use whatever you want and convenient for you (including not to change anything done up to the moment). @"BradHenderson" wrote: ... So…

Hi @"BradHenderson", The keyword in your description is "copy" of your database that every operator will use. Let's imagine 2 operators work. The first operator makes some change in database and upload it to Dropbox. After that, the second operator does the same. What would be the database state and is that what you…

Hi @"RFM7", Is something left, by any chance, here (aside of all other files): https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all Hope this helps.
