@"Carl HR" wrote:... So, I just need a single account to store the data (the application will handle the downloads and uploads on the background). From the OAuth Guide, I've been able to generate my own refresh token, and store it inside the python's script, as a string. ... Hi @"Carl HR", It's never good idea to share any…

@"matthewdbx" wrote:..., you should now be able to generate a direct download of the content using either "dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/..." or ... No exactly. The link isn't direct yet; there is still one redirection! One is less than two, but... redirection is still needed. 👈

Hi @"Alex_Ch", You don't need to embed this part of the code; focus on the line that Greg enlightened and shows how you can set refresh token (one of the possible ways). You can take a look here how you can get all needed by hand; it's one time action. The last action described in the post, I linked to (the only…

Hi @"Vmm", It's supported on Linux only. If you have installed official deb or rpm package, just type "dropbox help" to see how you can use it. Hope this helps.

Hi @"HairyWombat", On my side it works as expected: curl -L https://www.dropbox.com/s/fzv989hz5mazhqw/ReplacementDatabase.dbf?dl=1 > Test1.dbf % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 17 0 17 0 0 2 0 --:--:-- 0:00:06 --:--:-- 4 100 363 100 363 0 0 52 0 0:00:06…

My old files on Dropbox still produce proper copy links. The problem only occurs on files recently created. ... Hm... I haven't noticed such…

@"DB-Des" wrote:... I was unable to reproduce the reported issue, by using cURL. ... Don't let your cURL to redirect (remove the L flag). Does it work correctly still? 😉

@"HairyWombat" wrote:... My app does not use Dropbox API and successfully downloads files from other websites but, if my app changes ?dl=0 to ?dl=1 in the url (as suggested by Dropbox docs), the download does not succeed and instead my app receives a small html file saying there is a problem at Dropbox and they will get…

Hm.. 🤔 It's not the first time something new to be on go and different behavior to be observed on different accounts (showing different imperfections until the things get stick together). In my account it works: Entire setup is as I described before and regular link (can read) brings up. Seems for some accounts it's still…

@"stiletto2" wrote:... The only choice I then make is to right click on a dropbox file and chose the "copy dropbox link" option in the resulting dropdown which fills the buffer with same kind of "scl" type link. So changing the option to "can view" didn't change the result. ... "Didn't change the result." 🧐 Hm... What that…

@"psykroniumcube" wrote:... the game im on isnt reading the new link format, no matter what i do. ... Hi @"psykroniumcube", That's why don't use the "new link format" (it's not new format actually; might be new and strange way to be introduced), but the old (classical - "can view") one. 😉 Use some of the ways I described…

Hi guys, The links starting with www.dropbox.com/scl/ are preview links, not classical shared links. They can be links to files (www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/) of folders (www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/). Such links are presumably used for preview and not for direct download or embedding (in spite of some links can be redacted and made…

@"TrevorBarrett" wrote:... These comments are implemented and the PDF is exported again replacing the previous. ... @"Mark" wrote:... It shouldnt work like that - on mine it always updates and just replaces the file as long as the initial file is not deleted first. ... No, no, no... Dropbox always invalidates link when…

@"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…
