@"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…

@"James_T" wrote:Won't looping through every file and folder and make a ton of share links be very slow? ... @"Здравко" wrote: ... Existing links could be enumerated with sharing/list_shared_links. ... If you take care every file you want to show to be associated in advance with a shared link, listing process is just a…

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.

@"DokterChaos" wrote:...

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

@"Vishnudev" wrote:Hi, I am trying to get the list of members of a shared folder programatically, using the python SDK. I tried response = dbx.sharing_list_file_members('/shared_folder_name'). I am getting this error: dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ApiError('50c5851add824ae9a2f8616e5ae67510',…

@"John Thomson" wrote: ...Can someone provide a comprehensive list of strings to search for, or suggest any other way of identifying files that are the result of Dropbox resolving conflicts? Hi @"John Thomson", Even somebody give you such actual list, nobody can guarantee for further additions and/or changes! Better try…

Hi @"saviomilbratz" , Not to repeat something already said, take a look on here. Can you post the actual error log? Thanks.

@"HleeLee" wrote:To me, it looks very close to what the OP said (below). ... 😁😆🙂 @"HleeLee", Do the actual error messages look the same: @"Andy Coda" wrote:Exception: should not give write permissions to other users for the module,…

Hi @"HleeLee", Take in mind that the initial error message is a template pretty same for almost all kind of critical issues Dropbox application encounters. The same message dialog definitely doesn't mean the same issue! When you are saying: @"HleeLee" wrote:I'm having the same issue. ... ... what do you actually mean? 🤔 Is…

Hi again @"Andy Coda", The ****** file you have created seems Ok. That proves the issue is not in your default settings. It appears exactly as has to be. The commands you have executed, as listed, can't be a reason for the issue observed. Still not clear what could be the reason, but let's try fix it by hands. At the…

@"Andy Coda" wrote: ..., I've followed a series of terminal scripts from the FAQ section but it did nothing. ... Hi @"Andy Coda", As mentioned in the error message (on the bottom), you have given strange write permission on some places. In the same context, what are the "series of terminal scripts" you have tried? To be…

@"cann0nball" wrote: ...

If you have updated your Dropbox application already to recent version, your…

Hi @"cann0nball", Yes, you are right. Unfortunately, Dropbox forcibly introduce their new "feature" without option to be turn off. The files/folders get hidden even before version 226.2.2. 🤷 Take a look here for more info (some option). Good luck!

@"pcooperuk" wrote: ..., have also setup webhooks to notify that a unknown change has happened. ... no way I can efficiently process this volume of /folder/continues just for example if one file / folder has changed. ... ... There is no way to identify the change, all I can do is call listfolder/continue on every single…

@"deco10" wrote:Because my app on my smart tv can not use re-direct function. ... Hi @"deco10", I don't believe some device can't use redirect; this is very basic feature of HTTP protocol and is much older than both Dropbox and your TV. 😜 The redirection itself isn't the issue, definitely. While we are talking for TVs,…

@"hardreturn" wrote:oh ya, less than 24hrs. what the ******. any idea why that link no longer works @Здравкo ? nothing changed at all on my end Hi @"hardreturn", 🤔 I should confess, have no idea what you are talking about. The correct raw link in your OP still works! I just opened it and everything is fine. What exactly…

@"hardreturn" wrote:... Wondering what to do in order to link to files properly? Hi @"hardreturn", You have done everything as should be and everything seems just fine. 😉 Is there some issue with the embedding? 🧐 About link change disturbing you, yes, that's normal. Dropbox perform multiple redirects to let viewer access…

@"James_T" wrote: .., I assume the call is done correctly, if it wasn't I assume I would get an error about something else, or even a missing "query" parameter? Better, don't assume anything! 👆 I can't be certain, what actually you have done. Seems you have posted in OP your HTTP query. 🧐 Is this correct? If so, there are…
