Did you check your email spam folder and make sure Megan email doesn't reside there by any chance? Good luck.

I hope you have heard about Object Oriented Programming (OOP). It's not matter of OOP language in usage! The language makes the things easier, but it's only a predispose - it doesn't make your code object oriented automatically. Actually, you can use procedure oriented programing language (for instance) and follow object…

Hm..🤔 Can you recall this? 🙋🤫 Oh.. that laziness... Is it so "impossible" not to jump the things over? 🧐🤣

refresh token doesn't expire. The tokens (and the JSON at all) are not ordered, so I don't know is it second one or not (better don't rely). Navigate on base of the field name.

It is not mandatory you use curl command. You can use any other, but of course should adapt the params. Not all command have the same params set! My example (and not only) uses original curl command, not aliases that point to something else. Check what your alias points to. It looks like some shell' internal redirection…

Yes.

@"Lukag" Try read again the thread I linked to. There have been all steps shown. That you have posted is the thing you don't need encoded mandatory - i.e. execute by hand single time only outside your application. The last step, you skipped above, is mandatory to reside in your code. It may generate new access tokens…

Do you understand that there are different tokens? 🧐 @"Lukag" wrote:... Duration token is 4 hours, if generate now and tomorrow i'll use it in my app , the server'll answer me that token in expired / invalid ... What token do you take in mind above? 🤔 Read again entire thread here and linked resources. 👆 Don't jump over!

@"Lukag" wrote:... Can i do it run time by api ? Definitely NO! API cannot self authenticate. 🙂 If that was possible, it would be a big security HOLE. Actually, the refresh step in my description above (that you don't like) does exactly this, but it's different thing. There refresh token is used for authentication (valid…

Hm..🤔 To be honest, I don't understand what you mean. Maybe the actual question should be do you need long term access or not?! This is your design decision though. 😉 If you need a single shot (i.e. something that would be run occasionally) application for your own use only, getting access token every time might be better…

@"Lukag" wrote:... How is valid a token ? should i generate a new one every time i use my web app ? Access token is short lived, so you may use it for limited time - typically 4 hours or so. If you plan to rely on access token only then, Yes, you will need new every time you are using your application. There is alternative…

Yes, of course. it's case sensitive! Also, make sure the path is valid... you may start with just empty string - it's always valid.

Are you sure the access token you're using is actual one and not expired? 🧐 Also, post the received result (either error or success) so it be clear what's going on exactly..

The endpoint for folder listing is RPC call style endpoint. RPC on Dropbox uses POST request and it's mandatory 'path' to be passed in JSON style to the request body. Fix your code. Good luck.

@"eni8ma" wrote:I made a codepen to test for you guys instead ... both play fine on desktop but buffer on mobile Below is how your example appears on my phone: As you can see more than half minute no any break (buffering, etc). That's it.

Take a look here for some details and possible way to workaround. Good luck.

Hi @"eni8ma", I just tried it and looked on the video for few minutes on different devices - laptop and mobile with landline and mobile ISP... no any break during the play. There was sometimes initial delay 2~3 seconds at most - something that may be compensated with avoid using autorun and play with script (with well…

Hi @"yyyhhh", To use Dropbox Chooser you don't need additional authentication (including you don't need any access token to work). It will be enough the user (eather you or somebody else) to be logged in in desired Dropbox account, nothing more. 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"Brad Henderson", I see, you have selected that url command as base for what you're going to do. I believe, you have the command tested and it works fine. Right? Something I cannot understand though, where did you decide from that JSON is sended? 🤔 There is a way to check this. Add one more option to the curl command -…

@"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…
