@"Alex_Ch" wrote:excuse me but, how could i use the http request to refresh the access token in the sdk for javascript? You can use raw http request, but you don't need to do that. As I said you can use SDK and in every SDK (including Dropbox Javascript SDK) are equivalent calls. It's your decision what you will use…

Hi @"Alex_Ch", Since you want to access your own account (not user's accounts), the best way would be to implement the entire communication to your Dropbox account (or the communication management, at least) on your server side. In such a way you can use pre-generated refresh token usable to refresh your access token…

Hi @"abhinav-gogoi-clairvoyant", Take a look here for possible solution. Good luck.

Hi again @"TheGabester", You didn't mention where you get that link from! 🧐 This a key moment. It's definitely not from a place where people normally get shared link from. 👈 As I said previously, it's NOT shared link! @"TheGabester" wrote:... I'm not able to unzip it cause it like either is corrupted or unfinished? Really?…

@"Phin" wrote:... Would you be able to able to ask the dev team to see what they think please? I suspect it will be one of those things that is either very easy to implement and hasn't been done because no one's ever shouted about it, or it will be a massing PITA and hasn't been done for that reason! Yeah... I agree. 😉…

@"acannon420" wrote:.. All instructions I've found for BACKING UP only involve a limited number of folders, and NOT a network folder I'm needing to Sync. Hi @"acannon420", No there is NOT a limited number of folders, there's only one folder - the Dropbox folder. The instructions, you have found, are just driving you…

Hi @"TheGabester", I haven't noticed any recent change regarding links. You first screenshot shows shared link pointing to a file, but the second one is NOT a shared link; it's preview link (or looks like so, at least) and, of course, you cannot use this link as a shared link (just it's not, nothing more). Where you got…

@"Gene_Parmesan" wrote:I have repeatedly made links to the same file with no errors, so I haven't run into this issue. ... Hm... 🤦🤷😜 Good luck! @"dhermanq", It's definitely not a limitation of the Dropbox API!

@"Megan" wrote:... Do you notice the same behavior when searching through your files using a different browser too? @"Megan", What behavior are you expecting in different browser? 🧐 No the browser (whatever is in use) decides what symbol how to be treated. It's Dropbox server responsibility! And... there many symbols…

Hi again @"Peter G", It's still not clear what version of Dropbox application/daemon is in use. To see it, you can type following command in a terminal: dropbox version You'll get back the application's control script and daemon version. @"Peter G" wrote:... I've done as you suggested - I've uninstalled and reinstalled the…

Hi @"urvisheth", If nothing else has been set, by default all file/folder path are rooted on the user folder, not to something else! On individual accounts user folder match to the account root and that why nothing need to be added. On group account, like business subscription, one account has more users and that's why…

Hi @"Alan Hsiao", Upload session is needed since there is no other way the content uploaded to be refered and when multipart upload is on go, session id does this work (upload referencing). Even on single pass upload (small file), a temporary upload session is created internally that usually doesn't need additional…

@"Joel99" wrote:... There is a simple solution though - you can move the dropbox folder to a virtual drive (still on your main C Drive) - it's easier than you'd think (in Windows at least - but may also be possible on a Mac?). ... Hi @"Joel99", Such a solution isn't so simple neither efficient - more volumes allocated more…

Hi @"Peter G", You didn't mention what version of Dropbox application is in use. Did you try to clean up your application daemon to see if that can solve something? Execute following command in your terminal (in the same order) to make sure everything is up: dropbox stop rm -rf ~/.dropbox* dropbox start -i With the last…

@"wa4ywm" wrote:... Also, when I hover over the icon to the right of the "Share" dropdown it says the user "..hasn't added to their dropbox yet" and the icon is grayed out. Why do they need to create a dropbox if all I want to do is share the folder? And why would they need to add anything to a dropbox? I want this to be…

Hi again @"ram4444", If you have troubles with dumping your application communication, there is still a workaround that can help you figure out what exactly flows on the wire. 😉 It's simple; just create a pseudo server that just dumps everything incoming using netcat and do redirect your failing call temporary to this…

@"ram4444" wrote:... When I http POST to the above URL for ... Hi @"ram4444", How exactly have you posted the above URL? 🤔 The URL looks like a GET URL! What did you post in the body of your POST request? 🧐 Take in mind that only changing the method name is NOT enough (in spite error check of Dropbox API seems…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:... You may be interested in using the GetTemporaryUploadLinkAsync method, as long as you don't expose the actual access/refresh tokens for your account to other users. How will be such method in use without exposing any token? 🤔 Maui is designed and usable for local applications (no server side)!

@"Gcleanwood" wrote:... Would it be better to share a password secured folder? ... There is NO such thing like "password secured folder". Don't mess password protected shared link, it's different thing! You cannot upload something using such link; such way may be used if you need to inspect/download something already in…

@"Gcleanwood" wrote:... Can this be done without forcing them to enter the Dropbox credentials?... Hi @"Gcleanwood", There is always some way. You can always pre-generate credential information that becomes part of your application. Such a way targets server side applications and is strongly discouraged to be used in user…

Thanks Greg, it's working as expected already. 😉

Hi @"jaohar", Take in mind that, as noted in the article you are referring to, the limit mentioned is related to application performance and not to the account in any way! These are different things. If you want to calculate your folders size take a look into another thread here. If something doesn't work as expected…

@"invisiblehelmet" wrote:How do I calculate the size of multiple folders at once? ..., but when I select multiple folders, the "calculate size" option is no longer available. ... Hi @"invisiblehelmet", Hm...🤔 strange... I just tried and and it seems working: After click on "Calculate size" the size of all folder start…

Hi @"oloch", Dropbox has dropped that feature, available some time ago, and it's unavailable on recent application versions, unfortunately. You may install some older version if the dropped feature is important to you. Currently all files (including offline) are available through the Dropbox application only or after…

@"olavolsf" wrote:... Would someone be so kind to tell me what I am doing wrong? ... Hi @"olavolsf", And... 🤔 What are you doing actually? @"olavolsf" wrote:... It is (most probably) related with the Refresh Token (and consequently the AccessToken), because when I create in the APP the AccessToken and use it for testing in…

Hi @"3d_Schorsch", For more info about how you can initiate authorization process, you can take a look here (including how to prepare your authorize URL). There is no such things like token URL or profile URL. It's your responsibility to organize your users profiles. About the tokens, they are result of the authorization…

@"annapretorius" wrote:So do you think ALL my data is safely stored on dropbox although the sizes differ? Although??? 🧐 Are they really differ? If they differ, your data are NOT safely stored, of course. I don't think they differ though 🙂, despite of can't be certain (only you have a look and can check; if I have to bet,…

Hi @"Asharaf", There are corresponding methods for both actions. You can get link's metadata using GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync and download shared link's file using GetSharedLinkFileAsync (aside of the option downloading the file or entire folder directly with just change links ending "dl=0" to "dl=1"). Hope this helps.

@"Goldmine" wrote:I had integrated drop box in php and its file uploaded successfully, But there is issue of access token which available for short time. How to generate refresh token for it ... Hi @"Goldmine", All new access tokens are short lived (~4 hours typically). As you found out, refresh token can be used to…

Hi again @"annapretorius", Your scenarios is a bit more complex, cause it's matter of how the space is spread and result efficiency of used space in addition to measure conception differences - you are evaluating folder tree, not just a single file. If we self-restrict us to the conceptions only, it's easy to be seen -…
