@"bfmaier" wrote:... It's kinda mind-boggling that this number is so low per default and that the App doesn't tell you what's going on when you hit the limit and instead just "unwatches" all files and remain in "syncing" forever. ... Hi @"bfmaier", I agree that Dropbox application should tell user what's going on in more…

Hi @"Bhagwant Singh", Since you're planning to use your script on your account only (personal, non team account), make sure no any team scope is active in your application' permissions! Seems like there is least one such scope and that's why it's forced/expected a team account to be logged in. Hope this helps.

@"agomezv" wrote:... My question is: How can I get access the API whitout implement the OAuth2 flow? ... Hi @"agomezv", It's impossible yet. @"agomezv" wrote:... This because it will be impossible that the user gets a token from the AppConsole everytime that he use my VBA app. ... The user doesn't need to go in such a way.…

@"amilcarvalho" wrote:... Thanks for you answer. I post to the endpoint "/2/files/search_v2". With just {"query":"tag1"} on body. I want to retrieve content that contains the tag1. Is this possible? ... In such a way you will receive all entries metadata matching to the query. Matching are all entries (files and folders)…

Hi @"amilcarvalho", I checked it and everything works. Yes, it's inconvenient since not option to direct the search to tags only and many unrelated result entries may appear. In spite all tags get in the result in correct way. What's the exact call your performed? Did you restrict the search operation in a way that can…

@"kdss-ja" wrote:... Question will this AccessToken last for long time? Hi @"kdss-ja", If as long time, you mean 4 hours or so - Yes, otherwise - No. Doesn't matter how you gonna get your access token, it's always short lived. Read with some more care Greg's comments above! The Dropbox client object can manage the access…

@"Julian Li" wrote:... Thus, in this case, how could we obtain a token without authorisation via the browser? ... Hi @"Julian Li", It's still impossible if you want long term access. You can get access token without browser, but it would be short-lived token (most probably not what you want). @"Julian Li" wrote:... And for…

Hi @"jaredsaia", There are some imperfections in Dropbox application (not to say bugs). Next time when you're going to change some settings (including username), better unlink (sign out) the Dropbox application from your account and link it (sign in) back after settings change. Otherwise the application gets in confusion…

@"cbcollins" wrote:how do I replace the links to "?raw=1"? 😁 No to replace the links! Only the ending of the links! Take a look on any link you get from Create/Copy link. It looks like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcdl2345ef678h/filename.ext?dl=0 Here you can replace "?dl=0" to "?raw=1". 😉 Hope it's a bit more clear now.

@"cbcollins", Is raw link works for your? 🧐 Replace link's ending "?dl=0" to "?raw=1". Good luck.

@"DCardwell" wrote:... The cause had to do with the automation feature in Dropbox. ... 😁 Take care, not to turn on features you don't need and even disturb your work, anymore! 😉 Good luck.

In such a case, that seems to be some settings of your scanner application. Take a look there (on the application' documentation). If needed, ask the application support for more info.

@"DCardwell", Have you turned on Dropbox Camera uploads on your device? 🧐 That's where the second picture comes from in addition to the one upload by your third party app. 😉 Both ways act independent from each other and use one of them doesn't suspend the other automatically!

@"Fathzer" wrote:... I've just realized that there's no new refresh token emitted when access token is refreshed. I also read that Dropbox refresh tokens never expires! ... It feels like the refresh token is the new long-lived token 😊 Hi again @"Fathzer", Yes, that's the idea. 🙂 And it's not just feels, it is actually.…

@"Fathzer" wrote:... I found no "token refresh" event I could register (maybe there is no such thing). ... Hi @"Fathzer", Yes, Dropbox developers involved in SDKs design don't take care for such type of optimization, unfortunately there is no way to do what you mean. @"Fathzer" wrote:... The only solution I found is to…

Hi @"sentur", Dropbox application doesn't support yet exclusion of certain file types (might never happen). In spite you can exclude particular files/folders using the ignore feature. Hope this helps.

@"balman" wrote:... I don't be a dev but only an user 😊 @"balman", It's not forbidden a user to write some script for instance. 😉 You don't have to be a developer. Many integrations (including Dropbox) exist on many programs. If such exists in your password manager, that would be the best choice. There are external…

Hi @"balman", To perform variety of tasks (including possible sync) Dropbox support REST style web API and some SDKs in addition (like most other similar platform). You can take a look on documentation for such application describing something like protocol (API) and set of calls and their parameters (SDKs). You should…

@"Walter" wrote:... Out of curiosity, could you try another 3rd party app for unzipping/decompressing the zip files you mentioned? Hi @"Walter", How long will take to your developers to fix this old bug instead of advice to "try 3rd party app for unzipping/decompressing"? 🧐 Yes, it's likely some app can do the trick. It's…

Hi again @"Anggadika", Seems your system has some problems. @"Anggadika" wrote:... this result "An error occurred while sending the request." ... Such an error occurs when connection to the target server cannot be established. The reasons can be different, but typical case is DNS caching (and mismatch). To check in…

@"Anggadika" wrote: I have tried, but access is denied. ... Hi @"Anggadika", Did you read the example' comment? from the source:// This loopback host is for demo purpose. If this port is not // available on your machine you need to update this URL with an unused port. private const string LoopbackHost =…

@"Polas", API calls can't get through the browser address line! Are you aware what's "curl"? 🧐 Hope this gives direction.

@"ImpulseWebDev" wrote:... The lowest section is my app key and app secret (in that order). Is it possible to make this POST request to this endpoint in the way I am trying? ... Hi @"ImpulseWebDev", No, It's not! Where you read that you need to post parameter carrying name equal to your app key? Next the curl examples,…

Hi @"abhinovClairvoyant", Take a look on the listSharedLinks method description. There you can see that it lists current user' links (not very clear; 🤔 certainly can be improved) which means member' links, not admin! 😉 That's where your problem comes from - change asAdmin to asMember. Hope this helps.

@"Ralf H.3" wrote: ... I had updated the app a couple of times during the last 6 months an it has always worked. Can it then be the app?? ... Hi again @"Ralf H.3", Yes, as I mentioned Dropbox migrate to new way of authentication. In spite old way of authentication isn't accessible anymore, already authenticated…

Hi @"Ralf H.3", The application you're talking about seems left the Dropbox integration support in past. Other option is if you run relatively old version of that application - if so, update it. Recently (if you think 2 years or so - recent) Dropbox introduced new authentication ways. For long term access, those new ways…

@"Stephen B.25" wrote:... I am trying to do this by updating content of a file. $echo test > ~/Dropbox/compound I have a put inotifywait on ~/Dropbox/compound and do not receive notification that the file has been updated. ... Hi @"Stephen B.25", For sure there are better and more secure ways to achieve the same, in spite…

@"Jo G.6" wrote:Thanks for your help. Do you have a sync app you can recommend? @"Jo G.6" Unfortunately I can't be helpful to you as when I need something similar I do it myself. 🤷 Maybe it's time to write your first script code. 🙋 There is always a first time! PS: One example script, targeting just getting shared link(s),…

@"Jo G.6" wrote:Has anyone tried backing up their entire Mac user folder, not just desktop / documents / downloads? ... Hi @"Jo G.6", Take care what you ever wish! Better don't even try that!!! Dropbox application (and most others cloud apps) are not designed to work in such a mode and can (or almost mandatory will) send…

@"barbiesa" wrote:I deleted the new unwanted account, and signed in with the current account, ... Are you sure you haven't created one more "new unwanted account" by the way? 🤔 Check again the emails/accounts in use as I noted above. Good luck.
