@"oatcake" wrote:... So I assume that what I'm trying to do is possible but not advised?... Hi @"oatcake", You haven't mentioned, your application is server side one or user side. Server side application doesn't provide to users any sensitive information you don't provide explicitly. It's much more complex for client side…

Hi @"duynh7401", 😯 Seems I was not clear enough. Hi @"Здравко" wrote:... you should fill the path field in Dropbox API Explorer with "/folderName" (without quotes). ... Add ".zip" to the downloaded file name (i.e. "folderName.zip") to make sure your file explorer can "understand" the file correctly. ...…

Hi @"duynh7401", While pointed path is folder everything is Ok. Let's assume you are using Dropbox application on your computer and there is Dropbox folder somewhere (doesn't matter where exactly - on default place or different one). I will mark this folder as just "Dropbox" (something typical). If I can follow your…

@"duynh7401" wrote:I try to use this API a lot of time, but it always download a document file which I even could not open. ... Hi @"duynh7401", Be careful what exactly you are trying download and if that what you are trying matches particular API call requirements. 😉 If you take a look on 2/files/download_zip…

Hi @"gsanvel", Probably the "Access Key (hidding for privacy)" denotes the place for you access token. Take in mind that the access tokens, used in all API calls, validity is limited to 4 hours only! Maybe you have thought to use long lived access token. If so, you have to be aware that such tokens type is obsolete and…

Hi @"marksmithhfx", Generation of long lived access token has been dropped already, despite of available (generated before) can be used still. Yes, some documentation isn't very clear unfortunately. 🤷 Maybe the are not updated yet. Usage of refresh token can be used to achieve the same user experience - it doesn't expire.…

Yes.

🤔 To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for. You have OAuth flow completed already and received corresponding authentication info (oauth_result.access_token, oauth_result.expires_at, and oauth_result.refresh_token); take a look on your post above. You can keep this entire information in the same way you…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:... and then use the 'dbx' object to make whatever API calls you need. As long as you give it those credentials and the credentials are still valid, the SDK will perform the refresh for you automatically. @"Johnson9070", If there is automatic access token refresh, why are you thinking that authorization…

Hi @"MikeKell", I think you are mixing 2 different things. Your referrals to post that describes security considerations about client side application can be applied to server side application (as your is) as much as for long lived access token - i.e. no so much applicable. When you provide to a client application,…

Hi @"gvillasboas", When the error message is "missing_scope", most probably the required scope is really missing. Is it so or not? 🤔 Do you have "sharing.write" scope within your scopes set declared for the application? And something else: Why you are trying to use obsolete method in your code?! Despite such methods still…

Hi @"marksmithhfx", Your question is very generic, so it's difficult to receive exact answer. Additional time consumption is on refresh only. Since data size transferred is relatively negligible, establishing secure connection gets primary weight. In other words additional time depends on your connection latency more than…

Hi @"OperationsDreaming", Take a look on https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Need-Permanant-Access-token-for-drop-box/td-p/583956 😉 In short - there is no more long lived access token and you should add refresh token in your code. Hope this helps.

Hi @"nitish166", The refresh token seen on your dump doesn't expire. Do you use it or the access token only?! 🤔😉 Hope this gives direction.

@"Acey1" wrote: ... and now the access token is gone and asks me to generate a new one i generated it and refreshed 3 more times ... Hi @"Acey1", Your explanation is not very clear. What you mean with generated it? Also, what exactly you have refreshed? Refresh is automatic process! Regular access token is valid for 4…

Hi @"lizat", Take a look here for different available variations (simpler - just an anchor, and richer - with some more options). Hope this helps.

@"Pixcel" wrote:... Can someone explain to me how the application connected in Dropbox works? I contacted the support from the application and they talk about a token but I don't know how it works and I think I can't do nothing myself? ... Hi @"Pixcel", Yes, your information is correct. Most probably it's going word to an…

Hi @"TheWhistler1967", Have you listed the available groups? 🧐 There should be correct id for every one entry, if any. 😉 Hope this gives direction.

Unfortunately, I don't have any info on this regard. Try edit the SDK used by you. Only the part related to authentication need changes, so shouldn't be a big deal. Just add there refresh token handling and... that's all (I hope the rest works properly). I can't say anything more. Good luck.

Hi @"rs123", Seems you are using unsupported SDK. Regular access tokens expire in 4 hours as you noted. @"rs123" wrote:... NB: I am aware that dropbox no longer allow tokens with no expiry (as of September 2021) so I need to go down the refresh token route. Not exactly! Existing long lived access tokens (if you have any)…

@"lalomores" wrote:... Files are not client related, only related to my Dropbox App and corresponding Dropbox app folder. ... Hi @"lalomores", Hmm... 🤔 Ok, is the application folder for anyone particular application (including your) just a single thing or is it something specific to every one account, which the same…

@"AdnanL" wrote:..., when I click on Allow the auth route runs and I get the expected console logs but it stays in a reload status and doesn't redirect me to any page afterward. ... Hi @"AdnanL", As far as you haven't filled the response with something to show and haven't redirected to such a page, such a behavior is…

@"curl55" wrote: ... How can I delete a device after I no longer need the device to access dropbox? Hi @"curl55", The easiest way is to log out/unlink particular device. If for some reason you can't do this, unlink the same device using particular part of your account settings can do the trick. Hope this helps.

Hi @"Ridvan_", 👍 That's a good idea! Despite existing way to communicate to working Dropbox application, there is no any documentation describing available features, unfortunately. There is lot of query for this, but Dropbox seems ignore all. In this part of the forum, API meaning is restricted to methods available to…

https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#deprecated 🤷 Exact match! 😉 It's not in the following section (Removed) yet, fortunately.

Hi @"emaster987", Yes, from time to time different things become deprecated and replaced by others. In the particular case a library method is on focus. Let's hope Dropbox staff will take this in mind. You have put in your description a lot of information but your Python version is missing (the actual issuer of that…

@"gm72" wrote:... I have found, however, that what we are actually looking for is a list of end-users who have NEVER logged in. This API request seems to retrieve either failed or successful logins. ... Hi @"gm72", Yes, of course. All logs keep information about events (e.g. event type, moment, other related information…

Any access token gives access to particular user content to be processed with particular access rights. It doesn't matter what type of client you have used (web or other). Available content is restricted to selected application access (to entire account or to application folder only). Access rights are restricted to the…

@"CySDeveloper" wrote:... Are you sure that all dropbox apps in the end access the files in the application folder with FULL access rights?? 😁 I don't know what you mean "FULL access". You have access to one subfolder of App folder only. The one associated to your application. You can NOT perform anything outside this…
