@"cepstralspike", If I understand correctly, you haven't ran the application at all; that's why you can not reach Dropbox icon and preferences. Please confirm or decline my understanding and clarify if need. You are trying avoid initial sync before redirect Dropbox folder to desired location. Unfortunately, Linux is NOT a…

Hi @"cepstralspike", Is the "Move..." button missing from "Sync" tab on "Dropbox Preferences"? 🧐 What actually doesn't work? Can you post a screenshot of missing things, if any?

@"andreamoro" wrote:... I can save the saving.html file via the browser, but when I try to search for it via the CLI or the file explorer, the file can't be seen (neither with the current user nor with the root impersonation). ...But the interesting thing is that at this stage if I do a ctrl+O ... I can open that file…

Hi @"andreamoro", Hmm... Seems like a complete mess in your system. @"andreamoro" wrote:... I can definitely open an html saved file with the command below. xdg-open ~/Downloads/test.html I have tweaked the syntax, because apparently whether I want a URL or a file ... I just specify the resource and the browser (Firefox)…

@"Loky31" wrote:..., or a LUA library that helps with that. ... Hi @"Loky31", Doesn't 'lua-http' work for you? It's a http client and server together, so has to be quite easy to implement Dropbox connection and OAuth flow too. If it doesn't fit your needs may be next would be implementing really from scratch using…

@"Jay" wrote: Hi everyone, we appreciate the feedback on how to improve the Dropbox mobile app. ... @"Jay", The application for Android used to work in such a way, so... "to improve"... 🤷 There is nothing to improve! Just get back the feature available on versions 202.2.2 and earlier (and might be one more later).…

@"andreamoro", everything seems almost normal. The only thing I can't understand is the desktop file name: @"andreamoro" wrote:... xdg-mime query default text/html >>> firefox_firefox.desktop ... By default Firefox desktop file looks "firefox.desktop" (without name doubling and additional underbar). Have you created some…

It's a script byself. A single line script. Copy and paste it in your terminal as is. 😉 I assume your shell is 'bash'.

@"andreamoro" wrote:... I will be looking into the tmp folder again later, perhaps going with a watch ls to capture changes? I don't think using proposed command is most convenient way. You may want consider following to trace what's going on (almost in real time - time step one second in particular): i=0; while [[…

@"andreamoro" wrote:... You guys support Linux Ubuntu, so I would expect some sort of log to be inspected? ... Hi @"andreamoro", Linux is NOT first class citizen on Dropbox (and not only), despite growing usage in many fields. Big companies are "conservative" and takes some time adaptation to new realities, so "some sort…

Hi @"el_gallo_azul", According your description, the issue is coming up from Signal application. Every application can manage mime database and if this is performed improperly,... just leads to issues. I just have a look on the application repository and seems such issue has been fixed in past. Do you take care to keep…

Hi @"el_gallo_azul", You can perform alternative check using following in terminal: xdg-settings get default-web-browser xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler http xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler https If everything seems Ok, but the issue persists, try save some web page locally (doesn't matter what…

@"tfrysinger" wrote:... And sure, I could optimize the loop with an OR statement instead of testing at the bottom but that really is just that - perhaps an improvement in readability but nothing that would solve the problem he brought up. ... Hmm... 😁 Are you sure it's something related to the "readability" only?! 😉 Yes,…

@"tfrysinger" wrote: ...... boolean keepGoin = true; while (matches.size() > 0 && keepGoin) { ... What I am seeing is: ...6. Step 4 occurs and since result.getHasMore() returns true, the searchContinueV2() is called. However this time, while getHasMore() is set to FALSE within the returned result (which is correct), there…

@"hrh747" wrote: ... It is part of the dropbox library that gets downloaded when a user does **pip install dropbox**.... Ok, I see. It's normal to be so, but I have my doubts what actually gets up. Let's make it sure. 😉 Add a line in your code, so it gonna look like: import dropboxprint("dropbox imported from:",…

@"hrh747" wrote:... ... The error: **Cannot find reference 'Dropbox' in 'dropbox.py** ? Any insights will be great. Hi @"hrh747", Is there any chance the file, mentioned within the error message, to refers to code you are writing? 🤔 i.e. referred byself (directly or indirectly)! 🧐🙂 Hope this helps.

@"Ted44" wrote:... It won't give me the option to save anywhere else. That's not possible! Check your program (i.e. your web browser) settings. There should be a way to select where you want to save to your downloads. Select an existing folder (as I proposed before your home folder is a good example - it's never "catched"…

@"Ted44" wrote:... I realized like many, my Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and Music folder were "missing". They were still there, but the original icon was gone (the arrow pointing down for Downloads, for example), and upon clicking them, they showed: "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for…

@"CurrentlyJason" wrote: ... Do I have to create an App for this? ...👍 Hi @"CurrentlyJason", Yes, of course! 🙂 Any API access point can be used in context of particular application performing particular task. For most access points a token denoting associated account is required also. To manage tokens you have to get…

@"Shahen" wrote:... But we send move_batch/check_v2, we receive only 'too_many_write_operations' for some files without id or name. Does it mean that I need to move all files again using 'files/move_batch_v2'? ... Hi @"Shahen", Calling 2/files/move_batch/check_v2 gives you the status of a scheduled operation identified…

@"Phoggbank" wrote: ...dbx = Dropbox("[appl id]") ... ": The given OAuth 2 access token is malformed.') 🤔 Did you provide OAuth 2 access token (or refresh token) within the Dropbox object instantiation? 🤷 Application code and secret are not any kind of access token! I think it's self explanatory. 😉 For easy start copy…

@"Claudio N.1" wrote:This looks interesting. Can I do it programatically using an API or something? Hmm... 🤔 If you mean to receive a shared link, Yes, there are many ways you can do it for different links types (seems you have found the most typical one). If you mean to manage entire process, No. I don't know a way be…

Hi again @"Claudio N.1", There might be a workaround (not very convenient, but something). You can create shared links for all files you pointed to with symbolic links now. The existing symbolic links can be replaced with web links (the created before shared links), one by one. When you get in your link folder, there is…

Hi @"Claudio N.1" , Actually, you can't. Dropbox disabled symlink follow up for a long time already. When you use shared link to access some symbolic link you are accessing the symbolic link itself, not the pointed content! In case everything is in sync, as on your Mac, the symbolic link works as usual (there are both -…

@"Rockymtns99" wrote:I am wanting to create a BASH script ... to load media files to a Dropbox request link ... How would I do this with curl? ... Hi @"Rockymtns99", I don't think it's possible in such a way. If this was possible, that would be a throughput way for something like spam. 🙂 @"Rockymtns99" wrote:... Can I just…

Ok @"jorn", If you are so afraid to post something, try solving the issue yourself. From your last post the only thing visible is that the owner is "jornroot" and the access rights are enough. 🤷 Good luck.

@"jorn" wrote:..., presumably because that was the intent of the owner. ... 😃 Yes, when particular content is shared by somebody (from other account), it could get limited rights to edit by the sharer; but once some files get in your device who is the content owner (from local system point of view, not from Dropbox…

@"slystav" wrote: ... So the Pi and router are both ARM architecture? ... Hi @"slystav", Is this a news for you?! 🤔 Actually, most present day embedded devices are running on ARM. 😉 @"slystav" wrote: ... What architecture would be required for a standard Dropbox app? .... In present, only Intel architecture is directly…

@"slystav" wrote: ... I thought perhaps a router or Pi with the client on it, and a direct USB HDD could work? ... Hi @"slystav", Actually, would be possible in theory; there are builds for Raspberry Pi on supported OS-es. For example I use Ubuntu on Pi and it works fine. Unfortunately, Dropbox refuses support ARM…

@"ncw" wrote: ... So rclone gives up here and tries to finish the next batch ... Hi @"ncw", Key moment here may be that only one active batch could work at a moment for the same user. According your description the last running batch might not successfully finished yet (or unsuccessfully), while you are trying a new one!…
