@"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.

Hi @"matthewknill", The message, you posted, is clear enough - your authorization header is malformed. Are you certain your header matches the pattern: Authorization: Bearer <Your access token here> According to the data in your post, it's not. 🤔 How exactly have you formatted it? Hope this gives direction.

Ok @"IMCZug", follows one little strange part. Let's find out all your shared folders. Open this page. Click on "Get Token" button. Finally click "Submit Call" button. How many entries are in the result? 🤔 If there isn't something private inside, can you post the resulted text (inside the field labeled "Response")?…

@"IMCZug" wrote:... It says, “Within a single folder, you can create up to 10 shared subfolders.” ... Hi @"IMCZug", Yes, that's right. @"IMCZug" wrote:... There is no mention of sub-folders in this statement. Furthermore, there is no reference to the definition of a “shared folder”. ... Yes, could be more descriptive, but…

Hi @"IMCZug", Yes, the message content is somewhat confusing, but the FAQ that link points to is clear enough, I think. At the beginning, do you have shared folders count above the absolute maximum (30 000)? 🙂 Most probably no, but for completeness, if you have, their total count should be decreased. @"IMCZug" wrote:... I…

Hi @"Mwidders", To be honest, I'm not completely aware what exactly you have in mind. There is NO such thing like "token code"! Different authentication ways can be used to authenticate your link to Dropbox and all they end with access token that is in use in regular API' calls. One such way is using confirmation code.…

Hi @"aalok", A minimalistic example of what you're asking for can be seen here. The example shows API access using CURL, but it's the same while using any other way/HTTP access method (HTTP client). Of course, once get familiar with the OAuth' idea, you can extend the example to use different authentication methods (PKCE,…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:... The /2/sharing/list_file_members/batch endpoint does not return a cursor, for instance. ... @"Greg-DB", Here can be seen: Does this mean that the documentation is "broken"? 🙂

Hi @"noacaspi", Take in mind that inherited users and groups are not included in the result, and permissions are not returned while using batch! On using non batch variant inherited users are included by default. 🤔 Can this be the reason for different results, you are getting? Check to be sure. 😉 Hope this helps.
