@"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.

Hi @"Gene_Parmesan", I just made some illustrative implementation just to show what I mean. It can be used in the same way you used your script and instead of continuously changing access token, register your application and the access token will becomes updated automatically (without your intervention). The only change…

Hi @"Polas", At present all new access tokens are short-lived (as you noted up to 4 hours - 14400 seconds at most). The old long-lived access tokens are in retirement already. If by any chance you have such a token left, you still can use it, but new can't be created (leading "sl" - before the dot - means Short Lived). For…

@"Mark" wrote:... sign in with the same email and password as your other devices ... Hi @"barbiesa", Are you certain you have used the same credentials? 🧐 If you have used different credentials/accounts on different devices, you cannot rely on the same content of course. @"barbiesa" wrote:... My Dropbox folder on the new…

@"joeytwiddle" wrote:... For anyone brave enough, I believe this is the source code, so you could try hacking that to add the "Smart Sync" feature: https://github.com/dropbox/nautilus-dropbox ... @"joeytwiddle", It's not matter of "brave enough". 🙂 The sources, you posted, are about Nautilus' plugin, not any Dropbox…

Hi @"rodriguezo", You have conceptual mistake. Cursor (including the last one) represent somehow particular enumeration state. It's an opaque object and you shouldn't suppose existence of any features that are not explicitly supported (that what you are actually doing)! Where did you read that cursors are comparable? 🧐…

The above is Firefox.

Where you see it? 🧐 Who told you this? Those things are completely unrelated! I just gave to you answer to your question; don't imply anything else. @"tonyb4" wrote:So your saying smart sync works as it is but only through Terminal and not through the GUI ? ... On your last question - NO! @"tonyb4" wrote:... Do you need to…

@"kim b.14" wrote: What is a headless setup,? It's setup without Graphical User Interface (GUI) - without head 😁 Dropbox application is the same actually and can work in both modes. When GUI comes up on application launch, it's used, otherwise GUI is ignored.

In spite Dropbox application works as a service running in user session, Dropbox doesn't support running the application in any system service level (in any way). 🤷 It's strange, but it's so and there is NOT any official distribution or guide for such services. Everybody may use whatever works. Read Dropbox application…

@"jainraje", I just took a look on your "guide" (if can be said so) and there are some conceptual bugs. Don't "install" the daemon on place different than described by Dropbox (something messed by your guide). That's the source of your issues. Better build your own service instead of using unreliable guides!

@"jainraje" wrote:Nothing comes back: $ ps axo user,comm | grep dropbox If nothing comes back (at that moment at least), no any Dropbox daemon is running. I cannot support your service setup. You should check what's going wrong there; it's not a Dropbox issue. @"jainraje" wrote:... ... 2) A dropbox process is running in…

@"jainraje" wrote:I believe yes to your question. ... Hm... 🤔... What's the meaning of 'believe' above? What's it actually?! That's the matter! What's getting back following: ps axo user,comm | grep dropbox

@"jainraje" wrote:... Every time I run dropbox status is always returns Dropbox isn't running yet some files appeared to sync correctly. ... Hi @"jainraje", Did you make sure you have run 'dropbox status' under the same user context like the Dropbox daemon? Take in mind that every user can have independent Dropbox context…

@"shinkairi" wrote:... isn't file name extension the .pdf? ... Hi @"shinkairi", Yes, file name extension is the part of the name after the last dot in that name (if any - may be missing). It's usually few letters (typically 3 or 4, but can be any number on most present day systems). In particular for Portable Document…

@"Здравко" wrote:... If you don't remember, just name them properly and open them to see. ... When Dropbox meets such names it does rename some of them - only one remains unchanged (the issue you are observing). There is no guarantee which one remains unchanged. Such move doesn't affect files validity in any way. In some…

@"bspindia" wrote:... but getting error as Drobox is not defined when trying to embed using Drobox(option,element) @"bspindia" wrote:... issue with Dropbox.embed() Hm.. 🤔 .. Ok. What's the issue now? Is it still not defined? 🧐 or...

@"shinkairi" wrote:... Thanks, my problem is with 3 files not with folders. ... Hi @"shinkairi", Your problem isn't related neither to any particular file nor folder; it's related to names either of file of folder (doesn't matter one or other or both) - just names. @"shinkairi" wrote:... One file is working, the other two…

@"Michaellangley" 🙂 If I have to bet, it's a file "New Harvest Ag. Presentation pg.2.PNG" residing in shared folder "Bevan Family AR" (or rather had been at the time data was valid, if any such moment). Every file residing within a shared folder becomes shared too. Most probably this story is just... a story right now. If…

🤷 Actually it doesn't matter is this a old or new school and is the info provided through electronic, paper, or any other type of document. The only important thing is what are you intending to do with those data and do you have access to the account holding them or that providing access to them in some other way? What is…

Ok. In such a case a good start point would be clarification where you got these data from. What software are you using that provide those data?

@"Michaellangley" wrote:I am trying to decipher meaning. ... Hi @"Michaellangley", Instead of reverse engineering 😁, try ask the person responsible for the code you are getting you data from. 😉 Would be easier. Good luck!
