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!…

@"lglez" wrote: ...Still, I guess I'll have to manually select the files I want to move and sync to the Dropbox folder, since I actually have some programs installed in my 😧 drive, and moving them would cause them to break... Hi @"lglez", As a workaround, you can set symbolic links on the places where previous folders…

@"lglez" wrote: ... My intent was to use these 2TB to backup one of my hard disks, ... Hi @"lglez", First of all, keep in mind that Dropbox is NOT a backup service!!! That's why using it as such isn't best choice. Dropbox is a sync service. Of course, as far as there is storage space, the same service could be used for…

@"FrancoisNOYEZ" wrote: ... As long as I keep the 'oauth2_access_token_expiration' parameter equal to none, when carrying out this instantiation, I guess I will never need to perform new authentication operations, is that right? ... Hi @"FrancoisNOYEZ", In the practice, yes, most probably. If we should be more general,…

Hi @"cherrys" , The only thing you can do when refresh token expires is your application A to behave like never have been linking. In other words, start OAuth flow anew. 😉 That's it. Hope this helps.

@"FrancoisNOYEZ" wrote: ...From what I can see, I will always need to interact with the script every time I launch it, in order to copy the authorization code and provide it to the script, is that right? ... Hi @"FrancoisNOYEZ", No, that's NOT right. 😉 Relax. 🙂 You can migrate to OAuth2 and you will need to interact to…

@"rnbwpnt" wrote:This doesn't address my issue. I'm fine with being in the beta program... 🤷 Ok, Stay within beta program; that's your choice. If you think forcing install to particular version (either stable or beta - downgrade or upgrade) doesn't address your issue,... without comments. By the way, the message you are…

@"Mubasher" wrote:... but my code is working fine for 250Mb but it fails at 1Gb because of my internet i think. ... 🙂 The access point, you are using, guarantees work for size up to 150MB. By the way all single transactions are not guaranteed to support transfer of more than 150MB. Of course, this doesn't mean you can't…

@"Mubasher" wrote:I don't know much about Dropbox ... Nobody knows everything. Did you read everything pointed by my links in my previous post? 🤔 Seems not. Do it! Your code falls in 150MB limitation. 😉 Read with more care!

Hi @"Mubasher", How exactly you are uploading your data? 🤔 Are you using "upload" endpoint in all cases, the point where upload size is limited, or use upload session endpoints (start, append, and finish) for larger files (there is a limit still, but the size is much bigger)? 🧐 Hope the rhetorical question gives you right…

@"rnbwpnt" wrote: ...Googling on this issue seems to indicate that I need to install stuff like libatomic. ... Hi @"rnbwpnt", I don't know what exactly you have been "googling", but if the issue was related to libatomic1 (by the way package name ends with 1 at the end) then you will not receive anything else but fault on…

Hi @"Randy_Austill", At the beginning Dropbox is a sync service, so "Backup" is... backup in quotes 😃. Dropbox application keeps in sync everything within Dropbox folder and nothing outside. That's why if you want to sync something, it should get moved into Dropbox folder. So called "Backup" helps you with automation of…

Hi @"JohnMc_Lpool", You haven't taken a look on the help center. There is exactly the same case referred at the moment of this post. Follow the solution' steps, pointed there. 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"James_T", Just use sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. 😉 Existing links could be enumerated with sharing/list_shared_links. Hope this helps.
