@"TC888" wrote:... Is this a bug? ... Hi @"TC888", If you can access non shared file in such a way that for sure would be a bug. Is the file non shared really? 🤔 Taking in account following: @"TC888" wrote:... Is the link generated by "copy link" usable by anyone without authentication? ... Most probably you are talking…

@"ajay699patel" wrote:... I have created an App in Dropbox and generated an access token but it expires in sometime. How can I generate an access token and upload a file without going through authorization flow? ... Hi @"ajay699patel", At the beginning let's clarify that long lived access token is something obsolete and in…

@"HealthFreak" wrote:... Anyway I really just wanted to understand whether this "Boxcryptor for Individuals" would provide better protection for the connection and transfer of files from my Mac/iPhone to Dropbox cloud.. and to iCloud for that matter. ... @"Здравко" wrote:... As @"ROKYRAJ" noted, end-to-end encryption…

As far as I can understand your last clarification - Yes - in this context Dropbox protects your data. You mean connection protection and as I already said before - it's protected. Just don't put end to end encryption in your question, which is something completely different!!! That's what you are asking for is NOT end to…

OMG!!! There are many ways to protect some data. One such a way is to encrypt data and store somewhere. If that's what you are asking for - No - Dropbox doesn't do it. Another way is to protect data transmission between 2 points (usually a device and server). In such a way entire communication (including transferred data)…

@"HealthFreak" wrote:I didn't ask for a definition of End-to-end encryption - ... 😯 Yes, you didn't ask, but seems have no idea what this means! 😁

Hi @"HealthFreak", You question is somewhat meaningless. Probably you want to ask if connection between your device (Mac or iPhone) from one side and Dropbox servers from other side is encrypted. If so, TLS1.2 is in use - might be not the best, but it's reliable enough. As @"ROKYRAJ" noted, end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is…

@"Mousumi Datta" wrote:... I have uploaded the file to dropbox. but the file was not uploaded. ... Hi @"Mousumi Datta", 🤔 Hm... And at the end did you upload the file or not? To be able somebody help you, some additional information would be fine to exists. Most important: What actually is the issue??? How have you tried…

@"Paul R.17" wrote:... Yes, I have tried, but it appears that I run the code, and then I open a browser to `localhost:3000` which then redirects to 2 consecutive pages to authorize access to my app, is there anyway to avoid this authorisation process? ... If you mean to avoid it completely - No (not yet, at least). If you…

@"Paul R.17" wrote:@"Здравко" I tried your demo link to create a token which worked fine, and produced a valid (short life) token which enabled the node-RED node to work OK. ... Hi @"Paul R.17", Not only short lived token, but all needed to use refresh process. @"Paul R.17" wrote:... But could you clarify this link which…

Hi @"Sparkle Muffin", I can't add too much, unfortunately. Most probably you have some other incorrect symbol or representation. Macrons are part of Latin Extended-A subset part of Basic Multilingual Plane. I just created a set a test file name using macrons: ... and as can be seen it works. Check some formatting symbols…

@"giovaniluigi" wrote:Hmm, I meant that its not often that a big company update their server and break all existing code running on their own SDK ... Hi @"giovaniluigi", Might be said, but how would you improve something like long lived access token when it's considered insecure? 🧐 Actually all existing tokens work still,…

@"giovaniluigi" wrote:... I imagined the temporary revoke would be a problem related to the time limit mentioned in recent posts, but I thought the SDK would still work. These are breaking changes... We don't see that often these days. ... 😯 Wow... If you have seen that is less than 100% after 4 hours... 🙂 You have…

@"giovaniluigi" wrote:... Sometimes, after successful authentication the token seems to get revoked by the server after a while. ... Hi @"giovaniluigi", You should take in mind that all new access tokens are short lived access tokens (you can distinguish them with starting "sl."). Despite an existing long lived access…

@"Paul R.17" wrote:... I have already looked at that, but could not understand how/where it would be added to the existing code. ... Hi again @"Paul R.17", 🙂There isn't some only correct answer to your question. It's matter either of every library' and/or application' design. The correct way depends primarily on how you…

Hi @"Paul R.17", Take a look on a simplified example here. You can get idea out from there, I believe. In short, new refresh token has to be added so your application can access desired account long term without additional user interaction. By now you are relying to short lived access token only and that's where your issue…

@"patrickf-nz" wrote:... Is it in UTC time? @"patrickf-nz", Yes, as mentioned here: Date format All dates in the API use UTC and are strings in the ISO 8601 "combined date and time representation" format: 2015-05-15T15:50:38Z

@"fangzefunny" wrote:... The large file cannot pass through the "post" operation, causing the problem of 413. ... Hi @"fangzefunny", For large files consider using upload sessions instead, not single upload. Every upload transaction is guaranteed to pass for no more than 150MB. In a session you can split the file content…

@"senthilnathan205" wrote:... I replace token key each 4hr Yes, exactly validity period (up border) for access token (as you named it "token key"). 🤷 Continue, if you like to be so. Otherwise, change you code to use refresh token too. That's it.

@"fangzefunny" wrote:... At the end of the experiment, the success message was always prompted. But the data was not always uploaded to my dropbox. ... ... var saveDropbox = function(content, filename){ dbx.filesUpload({ path: "/" + filename, contents: content }) }; ... ... Hi @"fangzefunny", In your 'saveDropbox'…

You can take a look on Dropbox API v2 documentation for available access points and their use in curl. For guide how you can use long term account access using API look on here. Add: You can't share anything when your restricted your application in an application specific folder. If you need to manage users sharing, you…

@"Conners" wrote:... what am I doing wrong? Hi @"Conners", The only wrong thing you are doing is following the outdated article. "long lived token" can't get issued anymore. Newly issued access tokens are always short lived. 🤷 That's it. If you want long term access you can consider refresh token usage. 😉 Hope this helps.…

@"Bob S.15" wrote:... I did change the flow to the new calls, but do I need to do something specifically to store this new short-lived token? ... You don't need to do anything special to store "this new short-lived token" (probably you mean the access token). You can continue using the same way or use any other. The main…

Hi @"Bob S.15", Some time ago long lived access token (the one your application relies on) was deprecated. Such tokens can still be used, if exist, but since recent can NOT more be issued. All new issued tokens are short lived (usually start with "sl.") with validity for 4 hours, at most. Most probably you haven't…

@"Tim Lempicki" wrote:... Any recommendations for tools to listen to these ports? Hi @"Tim Lempicki", There are lots of different tools to trace and evaluate particular connection of any kind. A typical example can be WireShark. Many tools availability is system dependent. If you have access to nc (or netcat), it's a very…

@"senthilnathan205" wrote:... var dpClinet = new Dropbox.Api.DropboxClient(TokenKey); ... Hi @"senthilnathan205", At the beginning, one error not directly related to the current issue, but will bring up soon, if let unfixed in advance. In your client initialization you are using access token only. This type of token is…

@"ketanapatel" wrote: ...How to keep alive access_token forever? Hi @"ketanapatel", Long lived access token is outdated and deprecated in Dropbox API. Generation of new long lived access token is already dropped, despite of an existing can still be used. So, if you have some already generated token, you can keep it…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:Files that aren't shared won't be explicitly listed as having sharing information or an owner. ... Yes, but this doesn't mean that listing shared members of particular file (even non shared) should fail! In such a case the owner will be the only listed user (or should be at least). Am I wrong? By the way I…

Hi @"jerry14", You cannot get such information within FileMetadata just because there is no such info within. 🙂 You correctly referred to SharedFileMembers (despite indirectly), where you can get desired info. Such a result you can receive from DbxUserSharingRequests.listFileMembers(java.lang.String file).…

@"Frank P E." wrote:... it seems that files are sent to the cloud only if the content change, and since changing the file timestamp the file was not upload with the new meta-data --- so is this how dropbox works? Thanks Hi @"Frank P E.", I 'll add "when content uploaded/created" to "only if the content change". In this…
