@"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…

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.

Hm..🤔 To be honest, I have no idea what you ask me for... What you mean: account of the uploader 🧐 Isn't it your own account or account of this "uploader"'s user (whoever is he)? If so, the method above does this... or what's wrong actually? 🤷 ... Can you clarify? @"dsoprea" wrote: ... Are you saying that you think that…

Haha..😀 Hi @"dsoprea", Yes, good equilibristics, but as can be seen in error message you're relying on methods (users_get_account(account_id) in particular) that require User authentication already and cannot work on Team authentication (what you're trying)! 😉 Unfortunately, this is not mentioned in Dropbox Python SDK…

@"hoangtm", another way such thing to happen is when your current version is not the last one, but rather some previous. Have you restored (at some point) that file version on or after 8 July, 2023? 🧐

@"toyheart" wrote:..., maybe using new format is much more safe. ... Hm..🤔 I would never advice you to bet on this! Nothing in the change shows any focus on the safety or least I cannot see/think of such. If I have to bet, it would be that the safety is the same. 🤷

@"Inderjeetdev" wrote:... Main issue is that if I depend on https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder , it needs 'Dropbox-API-Select-User', so it don't allow to access shared team folder outside a user's folder. How do I access them through API? Hi @"Inderjeetdev", Yes, you are correct. Take a look on the discussion…

@"lisarosado" wrote:... the video link is the same link you would use to share it, however I strip out the query args from that share url. So the url ends up being the share url minus the original ?dl=0 or whatever else is included, and then I add raw=1&autoplay=1 ... Hi @"lisarosado", Can you take a look once again on the…

@"toyheart", it's exactly so possible as was before, neither more nor less. The key thing is that by default all Dropbox links use redirection, so any anchor (including time stamp related, but not only) drops. You can avoid redirection in the same way as before - altering domain. 😉 Good luck.

Hi @"Mgymnasts", As seems, you're trying to list some file. 🙂 Only folders can be listed! When you perform list to the folder where particular file resides in, you will get that file information together with all other. Of course, you can get the file metadata directly if that's what you want, using corresponding method.…

@"andrejpet" wrote:Could be that during the dev process I accidentally created a refresh token without the app having valid permissions. ... If you used that token, for sure.

@"andrejpet" wrote:... Hence my explanation that my refresh token generated an access token that does not have all the permissions. @"andrejpet", Yes, of course, but this doesn't happen suddenly! Actually you never had such permission granted to the refresh token and following to the access token. You need to make sure you…

@"andrejpet", unfortunately I cannot say much more than what's already said in the thread I linked to above. I think it's detailed enough. Even more it's the first time, I know about for such thing, you described: @"andrejpet" wrote:... My confusion lies in the part where I was getting valid access tokens with my refresh…

Hm...🤔 Ok. @"andrejpet", let me ask, after initial receiving of access token with grant type access code, how often you need to and receive access token with grant type refresh token? In other words, how often you do a call something like: curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token -d grant_type=refresh_token -d…

Hi @"andrejpet", I suspect, you're missing some details of how refresh token is used. Take a look on the discussion here for a detail ed example. Just don't forget the refresh itself; owning the refresh token is NOT enough! Good luck.
