@"iNeil" wrote:..., to determine where these values may be going wrong, and add some error handling to automatically catch and handle this error when it occurs. ... Hm...🤔 Where may the values be going wrong? Is there something wrong with the values (as expressed) or some error in the API call (as expressed)? 🙂 There is…

Hi @"thedefaultman", Your issue is not Dropbox API. From Dropbox API point of view, everything looks fine. It's not the same about basic bash syntax rules though! 🙂 Take some time, read about different bash loops and how they may be organized and controlled. Other thing you may improve is understanding of command options…

I don't use your desktop setup @"raulgrangeiro" and don't have the same issue, but in general Dropbox application (rather the daemon - the actual executable) doesn't work stable. This is not something new and often different people report different strange things appearing (sometime things disappearing). I have also issue…

@"derpsn" wrote:... The problem I have is that I want to synchronize my entire documents folder by default and exclude the ones I don't need. ... Hm..🤔 Ok, but I'm not sure understand what's the problem. No one of your folders get in Dropbox on it's own. If you want Documents, select it and don't select any other (like…

@"derpsn" wrote:... with syncing my documents, pictures and so on, but with the advantage that I can exclude certain folders without losing them locally. ... Hi @"derpsn", I will try say it a bit different. If you never added particular folder you don't need to exclude it. 😉 Hope this is a bit more clear. By the way, don't…

@"HairyWombat" wrote:... Dropbox.Api.BadInputException: Error in call to API function “files/download”: Bad HTTP “Content-Type” header: “application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Expecting one of “text-plain”, “text-plain; charset =utf-8”, “application/octet-stream”, ….. ... Hi @"HairyWombat", On different development platforms…

@"Windo" wrote:... And I want either to delete or to disable it, which is not possible. Hi @"Windo", There is no way either to delete or remove this folder from your account. This folder is related to you as a team member and as long as you are team member you will have member folder. The same for every other team member.…

@"graestar888" wrote:... I'd be really happy to hear from anyone who has experienced the same or might know of some ways I can try and establish where I am going wrong. ... Hi @"graestar888", Let's see what's there. A good way to debug something is to reproduce the issue. Since you work on local machine and cannot rely on…

@"Frank P E." wrote:thaks for the info so any file save in my documents folder will be "watched" and backup if it changes --- Hm.. 🤔 Yes, as far as such thing may be described as "backup". Keep in mind that the so called "backup" is rather Dropbox marketing trick - it's sync in fact. Like everything in Dropbox folder, all…

@"Frank P E." wrote:... how do I set the frequency for the backup to run? Hi @"Frank P E.", You cannot set such a thing in Dropbox. Backup for whatever you have selected runs continuous as far as your Dropbox application runs. Hope this clarifies matter.

@"paololago" wrote:Hi, if I want to access my own account with an API do I need to create an App? ... Hi @"paololago", Yes, for sure, you do. @"paololago" wrote:... I just want to read and write programatically to my own account, not publish an app or anything This doesn't matter. API needs authentication to work. On other…

Hi @"eni8ma", Hmm... 🤔 Something to work on desktop/laptop but not on mobile is strange. It might be network connections differences and others similar. In general it should work in the same way. Does it behave the same way when you use this simplistic application while playing some sings from your account? 🧐 (the…

@"tuliodepadua" wrote:... What could cause such a big difference between these dates? In general those dates are different things @"tuliodepadua". 😉 You should NOT expect server_modified and client_modified to be the same! 'server_modified' is guaranteed monotonic time that's server generated. On other side…

@"Cici cici" wrote:..., Failure writing output to destination... ... Hi @"Cici cici", That error message is NOT Dropbox (or any other service) related! 🙂 You have mistake in your script that calls the curl command. The destination file (or other entry in use) is NOT accessible for write for your code - whatever you have…

Hi @"Brad Henderson", To be honest I'm not familiar with the environment you're using. On the first look though, it uses OkHttp as underlying library. So you can take a look here for a simplistic example - example how OkHttp works. It may be easier for you to encode everything in the body (i.e. pass in the body text:…

Hi @"raulgrangeiro", You don't have any issue with your 'dropbox' package, so don't even try to fix it; there is nothing to fix. Everything in the package is working, as seems. What doesn't work is the Dropbox daemon - something that is NOT part of any package! So any package reinstall is meaningless (or unlikely to solve…

@"Walter" wrote:... If you're on the Dropbox Basic plan, make sure that you're not connecting more than 3 devices to your account as you might be hitting your account's device limit. For sure this cannot be @"Walter". If there are more devices linked already, the error wouldn't be at install time, but at link time…

Hi @"dhlocker", It's fine that it's working for you. One problem less. 😉 You cannot rely that it's a stable solution though. Actually you cannot rely that it's a solution at all! 'nautilus-dropbox' is deprecated package and only a metapackage. The only thing it does is dependency of (link in fact to) the actual packet -…

Hi @"JoeWood", You can use file request to collect files from people that may or may not have Dropbox account. Hope this helps.

@"HollisHoHo" wrote:... Please explain in plain simple language how to fix this! ... HI @"HollisHoHo", The most simple way is to turn Dropbox Backup you have selected off. Don't use such extra features since there are lots of imperfections (not to say bugs). Good luck.

Hi @"NatalieFord", First let's clarify that there is no way to set file (including image, but not only) creation date! What may be set is only modification date. The advice above, that Greg gave, is about that time. Another thing is that all advises here (in this part of the forum) are about applications developers, not…

Hi @"Fraga", Did you run the installer with admin privileges or as a regular executable only? 🧐 If you have only tried as regular executable, give a try to elevated privileges as administrator too. 😉 Good luck.

@"jimbobbles" wrote: ... (i.e. is uploadSessionFinishBatchV2 a sync method which only returns once the batch finishing is complete ?) ... @"jimbobbles", You're correct - version 2 of that method (and API call accordingly) is sync method. The deprecated version 1 can be sync or async - somethin that need to be checked and…

It looks like the link sender has set link password. Just ask the sender to give you that password. If he/she has set such a password by mistake, it may be just removed. That password has nothing to do with your account password. Good luck.

@"solneve" wrote:..., I believe it does not work when there is special character in the filename to be uploaded (like ' or é (character with accent)), so the API needs to be reviewed. This issue seems to happen when we upload all types of files: jpg, pdf, txt. ... Hi @"solneve", Hm.. 🤔 Let's see... If you want to upload a…

@"tomglod" wrote:That may be true, ... Hi @"tomglod", It is definitely true! As Greg mentioned, meaning of content depends on content type. Empty string is definitely not valid JSON content type!!! Passing empty string as JSON is... a bug. To represent nothing, correct representation is null (by the way this is not a…

@"henrylopez", Did you check your proposals? 🤔 Is it working in such a way? Where do you close the sessions?! 😯 Write something check it and when everything works, push here. 😉

Hi @"jimbobbles", Batch upload is very similar to upload a big file using session upload, so you can start with some example showing single big file (more than 150MB) upload - there are such examples; select most familiar one to you. You should use such upload style for both big and small files! There are 2 main…

@"maigantian", Потърсете в сайта на Mircosoft (или в която и да е търсачка) за тази функционалност и съм сигурен, че ще откриете каквото ви трябва. 😉

@"LewisO" wrote:... I hope my question is clear enough this time. ... Your question is clear all the time @"LewisO". 😉 You haven't read my initial post here though: @"Здравко" wrote:... In fact there are such implementations - all plugins you want to mimic use such interfaces. Unfortunately, all those interfaces are not…
