Hi @"jen1147", To be honest, I don't use your software and don't know in details what you are seeing. Better read associated documentation; I believe there is detailed enough description what you can do. The most important is that you have found what's the reason. 😉 Good luck. @"Megan" wrote:Hi @"jen1147", can you take a…

@"CTO1" wrote:... provider.AccessTokenValue = Backoffice.Encryptor.Decrypt(dropBoxsettings.AuthToken); I ma getting a message that says that AccessTokenValue is obsolete, I am unable to find any example of how to use: ... Hi @"CTO1", First of all, why do you need access token at all??? Clarify to yourself it! 🤷 You already…

@"Vitor_Amorim" wrote:... fs_api_python.FsApiError: "Initializing fs api |>> Initializing platform |>> File not found" Hi @"Vitor_Amorim", Yes, for sure your state is different and not the same as those reported before. Unfortunately, in many cases, the messages (like the above) are not clear enough. Here, for example,…

@"corvettemina", if you have used the same before, do it in the same way and only difference should be different type of token (access token before, refresh token now). That's it. If your code prompts again (without actual need), seems you have changed something in your application (something that didn't need to be…

@"mwatt776", your question goes out of Dropbox API matter. As I said Dropbox API just brings to you the actual file content (in particular docx which is not a plain text). What you're going to do further is up to you. You can consider where format transformation should be performed (server side or user browser, for…

Hi @"corvettemina", Fully automatic authentication has never been and likely will never be. Particular user that gives right to your application to do something on his account, needs to confirm it somehow (such thing can't be fully automatic - or I don't know for such, at least). About "long live access token"; if you have…

@"mwatt776" wrote:I think I found the response body but it looks like junk. ... Hi again @"mwatt776", I don't know what you mean "junk" here. 🤔 Dropbox gives you exactly what you point to (and uploaded before, of course), nothing more or less. Either using API or some other way. @"mwatt776" wrote:... In the response…

Hi @"mwatt776", As you mentioned that metadata are not of interest for you, why are you observing "Dropbox-API-Result" header? There are only metadata and it's a response header (one of some number of headers in the response header block), NOT a response body. As Greg mentioned, file content (you are interested in) is…

@"Kloss" wrote:... I know my app key and app secret is correct. And the host password I assume is my dropbox password to get into my account. ... @"Kloss", your account id (email) or password have nothing to do here! The only thing you need to authenticate is your application, nothing more. Check your shell syntax (might…

@"maxior" wrote:Longpoll only returns true or false, but I need a list of new files That's right - 2/files/list_folder/longpoll only inform you for changes (is something changed or not). As noted in its description, could be used in combination with 2/files/list_folder/continue to get the recent changes. Before calling…

Hi @"jen1147", After all steps you have taken, does the error message stay the same or changed little bit? 🧐 Can you check?

@"Rich" wrote:... There are third-party applications (CloudMounter, NetDrive, etc.) that you can buy which will help accomplish that with Dropbox, but then you're paying for two different services. @"Creativedialogue", what @"Rich" says is one option (drawback - as he noted - additional paying). Other option is choosing…

@"Megan" wrote:..., you can do this without syncing your backup content, ... @"Megan", "without syncing" and "backup" (means Dropbox Backup, seems) in one sentence??? Are you sure? Think again! What Dropbox Backup is and how it works? 🧐😁 A tip/recall question!

👍 Very good question @"Creativedialogue"! 😉 And... you can see what Dropbox thinks about here. 😡🤦 That's it. 🤷 Unfortunately!

Hi @"Pelleman", Access token received in whatever way is short lived and can't be used alone for a long time (4 hours, at most). For long term access (solution) you need to get to and store refresh token, which doesn't expire automatically. This token could be used to regenerate access token on demand and use the access…

@"vinke" wrote:does the access token for this endpoint differ? I am using the generated one from the App which is working fine for the endpoint /files/search_v2 for example. ... No, the access token could be used for all regular API calls (wherever needed). Is you are using the same token? Only you know this!…

Hi @"vinke", Are you certain access token in use is up to date and not expired? Once generated, its validity (without refresh) prolong to 4 hours, at most!

* I have no idea where "Videos" comes from. I cannot see it in the Dropbox UI. ... Hi @"IMCZug", If you are looking for "Videos" folder in your directory tree you will not see it since not mounted. Otherwise you should be able see it in the shared folder list. * ... * I am pretty sure I am the owner of all files and…

@"IMCZug" wrote:... To cut it down to the essentials, I am not sure that the unsharing worked. The API function "list_folders" still shows all 12 of the original shared folders with "shared_folder_id"s: Spoiler { "entries": [ { "access_type": { ".tag": "owner" }, "is_inside_team_folder": false, "is_team_folder": false,…

@"IMCZug" wrote:Thanks! Using the API to unshare all of the folders except the one I wanted to share to additional users eliminated the error message I reported in my OP. ... Hi @"IMCZug", I see you was posting something, but seems Dropbox spam filter catches it for some reason (don't ask me why). Some Dropboxer can…

Wow... 🤔 @"IMCZug", up to your last post I haven't idea that such a situation is even possible. Are you sure the two screenshots show the same account? 🤷 If so, that might be some new bug in Dropbox. Shared folders (the first screenshot) should show all shared folders in your account (all 12 in particular case), without…

@"IMCZug", you can do it in whatever is easiest way for you. In spite of you should be able do the same with just unshare it (as I have described). I should note here that you didn't follow my link! 👆 You're on different page (Recent, not Folders - see the screenshot again). 🙂 Be more careful!

Hi @"IMCZug", I have no idea where you have looked before so you saw only one shared folder, but you have 12 shared folders in total. 8 of them are not mounted - "2020-12", "2019-12", "2019-08", "2019-02-07 AGM", "2019-01-26 Burns Night", "2018 Directory", "2017 Directory", and "Gottardino". Other 4 are mounted and you…

@"Luan09" wrote:... User-Agent content won't affect the data sent or received when using dropbox's SDK right ? Exactly... Its purpose is informative only. Some servers may be interested how are you trying access them (so they be able provide adapted content for instance). Dropbox servers targeting API access may log this…

@"mikeyonaboat" wrote:... Then, lots of reasons to give them just a link instead of truly "sharing" the folder - the user doesn't have a Dropbox account, or they don't have enough space in their Dropbox account for the folder to be shared, it's a one-time contractor project so I just want to use an expiring link to do the…

@"Luan09" wrote:Hi everyone, Please help me full definition of User-Agent in DropboxClientConfig, ... Hi @"Luan09", It's hard to be set exact definition. In HTTP is a optional header that lets the client describe itself to the server. By default all Dropbox SDKs put there information describing themself. You can add…

@"lucaortis" wrote:... It seems a path problem, but to me the path is fine. If the path was wrong, then I would not be able to upload or download, instead, I can download and upload just fine. ... Hi @"lucaortis", You haven't posted the code responsible for upload and download. Are you using in the path there double…

Ahh... @"alicera", now I see what you mean. You want to check not for error in transfer process or error because of existing (already) file, but link validity. It's not so trivial cosa Dropbox links are dynamically generated and even when no real file exists link point to error message (as a content, it's still valid).…

In such a case it sounds like some copy/paste error. Make sure that everything enlabeled like "<something>" is replaced exactly to what the something means! 🤷 Don't put anything more or less there. That's it.
