Without proper diagnostics becomes difficult to say what exactly is going on. Supported ways to install the application are shown here. On Ubuntu (and similar distributions) the classic way is to use deb package (if you are using 64-bit distribution download it from here). Better uninstall whatever you have installed…

Hi @"skybird182", First of all, Dropbox application is NOT designed to work as a system service (this is not a part of the application install - not supported at least). It's a regular client application and can be run as such (the only supported way). Of course you (or some other third party provider) can extend this…

Hi @"rodwoman", Try an "alternative" way. May help to you. Select and hold (for a second or two) on the file you want to export/download (not just a touch). The file will get selected; here you can select more files, if you want to do it at once. Next, select the ellipsis (three dots) at upper-right corner on the screen.…

@"mansi2821" wrote:is there any updates i am facing the same issue Hi @"mansi2821", What you mean "the same issue"? 🤔 Have you meet some file you can neither export nor download? What is this file type, if any, and what you are seeing on the corresponding metadata (is the file marked as downloadable there)? 🧐

Hi @"BurkApps", Seems for some reason a secure connection can't be established. There are different possibility, but one option is that your code is running on environment not supporting TLSv1.2 - Dropbox servers accept currently only TLSv1.2. Check this at the beginning. One more thing is usage of long lived token in your…

Hmm...🤔 So, where you instantiated your client object, actually. Such an error should be on instantiation, but that part of the code is missing (it's not in the post)! Whatever you have done, seems it's far from the optimal. The main part should be DbxCredential class object (without focus on its parts - they can change…

Hi @"YousefElsayed", If you mean long lived access token, No - this type of token is deprecated and, inspite existing can still be used, new can't be issue anymore. You can use refresh token instead. It doesn't expire. 😉 Hope this helps.

Documentation:List shared links of this user. If no path is given, returns a list of all shared links for the current user. For members of business teams using team space and member folders, returns all shared links in the team member's home folder unless the team space ID is specified in the request header. Have you…

Easy workaround can be a parallel instantiation of DropboxRequestHandler class. Big part of the stuff inside, not closely related to refreshing, can be wipe out. Classes, fields and methods visibility should be changed, so be accessible outside. Using RefreshAccessToken method (already public) new/actual refresh token will…

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…

@"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…

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!

@"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,…
