@"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…

@"CySDeveloper" wrote:It is a scopedapp/appfolder (which is all I need). ..., as i always connect with full user rights. ... 🤔 The above are mutually exclusive. You are restricted to a single folder, something not applied to the corresponding user (with full rights). @"CySDeveloper" wrote:... So i believe there must be a…

@"CySDeveloper" wrote:... If i keep the accesstoken/refreshtoken then i will have full access like the user, whereas I have asked them to accept my application with a specific set of minimized rights.... Not exactly. It depends on what kind of rights were given to the particular application. If the rights are to the…

Hi @"CySDeveloper", To identify particular account you have to keep account associated access/refresh token in advance and use the access token. That's it. Take a look on following example: https://github.com/dropbox/mdwebhook/blob/1b32d5aec51019eb698905345a21af46e0d4be8e/app.py#L66 Hope this gives direction.

Hi @"AdnanL", What is showing the log performed on previous line? 🤔

Hi @"Boo S", To get out of beta testing, you have to turn your early releases off and reinstall the latest stable release and nothing else! Shouldn't even do any change to your Dropbox folder position by hand (something you have done 🤷). If you want to change the place where Dropbox resides on, you should perform this…

Hi @"af11", At present all access tokens expire after 4 hours. In your example you are relying on access token only without refresh token! If you want prolong your access without additional user interaction, code has to query 'offline' token type and you should care for the 'refresh_token' within result too, aside of…

Hi @"dreamuser098", To be honest I'm not sure what is the exact problem. 'trusted.gpg' still work, despite being deprecated. Most probably this will stay so for the ongoing stable release. Of course, Dropbox is waiting for the application work stop completely and after that to do something, as always.…

Thanks @"Greg-DB", It's not exactly missing URL encoding, but you drive my to right direction and I found out what's wrong. Since I have used non ASCII symbols in the file name this seems confuses the function. I have no idea why? There is an easy workaround: I just stripped filename in the link; the name isn't mandatory…

Waww🤦🤫... that's something really stupid from my side. But the issue is still there. 🤯 Just the response changes to "Conflict" with body: {"error_summary": "not_found/", "error": {".tag": "not_found"}} Despite the values are correct. I just checked all them once again. 🤔 Using the same values I can download a thumbnail of…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:... it looks like that failure is due to an invalid app key and/or secret value, so please double check your values. ... Ok, Might be, but there is no reliable way I check it. The following is the way I use to get authentication values. I repeated the test with the same result. curl -s -S -o ~/dump.txt -D…

@"Greg-DB" wrote:... @"Здравко"You mentioned you're getting an "Internal Server Error" on some piece of functionality. Can you share the details so we can look into it? Thanks in advance! Hi @"Greg-DB", Sure, I can. In 2/files/get_thumbnail_v2 description can be seen that connection to this end point can be authenticated…

@"FoxyLoxy" wrote: ...Is there a way to directly access the thumbnail that Dropbox generates for each file via http? If not, is there a suggested/recommended approach to convert PDF to an image format and use that for a thumbnail? ... Hi @"FoxyLoxy", Supported way to get a thumbnail image from wide range of file types is…

You are not mandated to use curl exactly! This tool is convenient to demonstrate many types of query and useful on shell scripting. It's very useful for communication debugging. On "regular" programing, more "typical" languages are usually in use. As I said above few SDK for such languages exist fully supported (some more…

@"AlecF" wrote:... Which brings me to another question, what is the format of the timestamp string ? ... Take a look on 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings (in parameters section): ... settings SharedLinkSettings? The requested settings for the newly created shared link. This field is optional.SharedLinkSettings…

@"studio_jhh" wrote:... Especially since the bad file check website isn't working any longer. ... Take in mind when you check such thing online, only possible issues related to downloading files would be spotted on, not in opposite direction (upload, like in your case). In your case "bad file check website" wouldn't have…

Hi @"infofeedback", Take a look on 2/files/create_folder_v2, 2/files/create_folder_batch, and 2/files/create_folder_batch/check for folder creation. Also take a look on 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings and 2/files/get_temporary_link for different link types creation, providing access to the content. There are end…

Hi @"studio_jhh", As in many other cases, Dropbox just puts some common message for wide space of possible issues. 🙂 In you particular case the issue isn't wrong symbol as such, but blank symbol at the end (the same would be if it was ta the beginning). Take a look on the folder name Swimming Pool. Is it "Swimming Pool" or…

Hi @"pii_dee", Using rules pointed in the solution above, you can list folder(s) you want and receive files list there together with all accessible files attributes. Now you can reorder and filter all entries in received list according rules you want. Finally go further and download selected subset of the files list…

Hi @"AlecF", To find the function you are looking for, take a look here. 😉 Hope this helps.

You can use WebRequest class from the core. Example for POST request can be seen here. You should format your request according the Dropbox documentation referred above. Hope this helps.

Hi @"DavidThielen", Using some SDK (including .NET) is for convenience only. You are not obligated to use it! Only mandatory thing to use is API. It's the only way to "talk" to Dropbox server. You can do that using some SDK or directly drive web transactions to corresponding access point by yourself. The choice is yours.…
