@"luigiafassina" wrote:... What are the scenarios where the Dropbox service returns a null refresh token? ... Hi @"luigiafassina", Are you sure you have set offline as access type? 🧐 Refresh token require offline access; if not set as parameter on initial authorization URL, you will never receive it.…

Hi @"Zohanlon", In spite some time ago was possible to receive long lived access token, it's not possible anymore. You can still use available long lived access token if you have one (in the way you are trying to), but new one cannot be issued; all new tokens are short lived with validity period 4 hours, at most. For long…

Hi @"Faulk", By default the point assumed to be root for API access is users home folder (i.e. your Faulk folder), not the account root. If you want to change this root to any other namespace (including to account root), you need to use Dropbox-API-Path-Root header. 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"sjyuenger", This forum targets Dropbox specific things (in this forums part - things related to Dropbox API/SDK). You rather need a Python tutorial and suitable Python package like 'file-metadata' for instance. 😉 Good luck.

@"Polas" wrote:... I assume it's persistent and I don't need to retrieve it every time I access it ... Hi @"Polas", That's the mistake of you. In spite some time ago was possible to receive long lived access token, it's not possible anymore. You can still use available long lived access token if you have one (in the way…

@"Greg-DB", I believe adding a new feature for anchor transferring would improve user experience related to parametrize document view (for instance the case described by @"vcha"). Would be fine a link parameter caring anchor content to be available (for instance a parameter named "anchor" passed together with "raw"…

Hi again @"Megan", As I said: @"Здравко" wrote:... I'm ready to assist. ... Did you try it? Do you have any questions related to reproducing the issues? There is NOT anything "device specific"... ADD: Some additional information if someone developer decides to take a look on discussed issue. All files in Dropbox have…

@"Megan" wrote:... I'd be more than happy to send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this, and provide any further info or help that you may need. Would that be okay? ... Hi @"Megan", Nice you are taking care. 🙂 I don't need help with the application! I have signaled for a bug in your application…

@"vcha" wrote:... When I add #page=3 (example below), it still display the whole pdf. ... Hi @"vcha", First of all, the whole pdf gonna show always! If you want only particular page to show up, you need to edit the pdf on fly and strip all other pages. Adding particular page as a anchor just navigates to that page, but…

Hi @"tenzin", Embeder cannot handle all data types. Currently audio and video files are not supported as noted in the link you refer to. You should organize audio playing in your site by yourself. Selecting particular file or folder can be achieved using Chooser too. Good luck.

Hi @"Paul43", Since you are owner, your access shouldn't be affected by any other account joining or leaving (including when some of other accounts is going to close). In addition you can unshare the folder or remove particular account, but such thing isn't something you need to do. Hope this helps.

🤦 Ok, seems nobody from developers takes care for the bugs reported. 🤷 That's not some secret, but... anyway.

@"DoControl" wrote:any changes or updated within the api to support listing the sharing links for a shared folder? Hi @"DoControl", You are asking something different than the OP! Listing of a folder pointed by a shared link was and is possible/supported. Unfortunately, the information provided by /2/files/list_folder…

@"novaut" wrote:... One question for how long refresh_token is alive? Is it long-lived? ... Hi @"novaut", Yes, it's long lived token. The refresh token remains valid till explicit revoke either from application itself or user that granted access for your application to its data. @"novaut" wrote: ... I successfully got the…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:... For instance, the examples under "App Authentication" show the use of /2/files/get_thumbnail_v2, which does support App Authentication, ... 🤔 Hm.. really... let's see this ' for instance': curl -X POST "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_thumbnail_v2" -u "<APP_KEY>:<APP_SECRET>" \ --header…

@"Musa2" wrote:... I need a very simple solution like a function or a java example. ... Hi @"Musa2", Take a look here for a example. Hope this helps.

@"novaut" wrote:... I have generated credentials once as authorization_code and bearer_token but it expires. ... Yes, that exactly what I said!!! Seems you haven't read my posts before (my post before the last my post too). Read them with care! Code is for one time use - it can't be reused. PS: The code is NOT part of your…

@"rubbermeetsrd" wrote:... When I brought up the move_v2 api call, the template was set up as a raw body which worked. ... I don't know what you mean 'raw body', but your 'template' seems correct. It should work. Why are you NOT calling 'move_v2' in the same way? 🤷 Take a look on your OP. Is it the same or not exactly? 🙂

I am getting the following error: 'responseError in call to API function "files/move:2": request body: could not decode input as JSON' var headers= { "Content-Type": "application/json", <<<<<< "Authorization": "Bearer "+ dropboxAccessToken, } var options = { method: 'POST', headers: headers,…

@"novaut" wrote:... I'm following the App Authentication example from https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types#app Why it doesn't work? I just want to use the API in a simple way. ... Hi @"novaut", Wow, wow, wow... 😁 I haven't seen this big fault of Dropbox documentation. You can call some API endpoints with…

Hi @"Anjani Kumar Pandey", No, refresh token doesn't expire automatically. 😉 Good luck.

Hi @"Greg-DB", I have a proposal that your team can consider about the issue discussed here. Alternative version of /2/files/upload_session/append_v2 can be added able to add a content to existing session that comes from URL (the same way like /2/files/save_url does; "path" may be replaced to "cursor"). In addition a…

@"gaganov" wrote:... They can try something like tus protocol. @"gaganov", No, they cannot. You are messing upload (what tus deals with) and download (what actually happens - Dropbox server downloads from provided link).

@"Greg-DB" wrote:... It looks like the issue here is that progress stalls for some reason, ... Yes, connectivity speed of 150mbps or so (middle for the 5 minutes) between Dropbox and a CDN like Akamai Technologies (one of the links above) is... 😁 no very impressive.

Hi @"tenzin", You can make your application simpler, if you just register a shared folder link in the application. After that you can enumerate the content and do whatever you want without any user login, etc. The user just has to provide a link to whatever becomes selected. 😉 Good luck.

Take a look here for start a session possible variant (or here if you prefer data upload). Here you can see finalization for multiple sessions.

@"SneYellow46" wrote:..., thanks for the advise but this approach isn't feasible for our scenario. ... 🤔🤷 Why? 🧐 @"SneYellow46" wrote:... I guess we need to handle this from our end with our own logic. What kind of logic is in use currently and is something prevent it to be used further? Every upload is performed on 2…
