Ok, all seems fine. Let's see the last steps. Check the current status using following: dropbox status Post the result and try again the following: (IFS=$'\n'; for a in `find /mnt/sdc1/Dropbox -type d -print`; do if [[ "$a" =~ "/.dropbox" ]]; then echo "<empty>"; else cd $a; echo "In directory $a:"; dropbox filestatus; fi;…

I'm logged in to the Dropbox app on a mobile device. ... That's your chance to regain access to the account. 😉 Use "Connect a computer"…

I can create a read-only link but when I go onto Settings there is no way to change the permissions granted by the link. ... Hi @"Diana28", 🙂 You have to…

Hi @"Jeff_S1", Seems, you are thinking in exactly opposite way instead of what "Selective Sync" implementation assumes to. 🙂 As seems you have noticed (to some extent) that using command (or GUI) folder tend to be excluded, not included, so how exactly you can add a subfolder in a missing (excluded) folder?! 🧐 Try to do…

Hi @"softwaremedicalshare", Just for clarity: When I mentioned "and on token generation", the meaning was for queried permissions there, not eventual token break! When you have created your application you have declared the possible scopes this application can have access to. Seems your declaration covers "sharing.write"…

Hi @"softwaremedicalshare", Did you ensure "sharing.write" permission for your application (both in Application console and on token generation)? Hope this gives right direction.

Hi @"Greg-DB", Seems, my example gets misunderstood. In the example changes detection is just a example part, not a final target! I'm aware how a change could be detected. Problem arise when multiple changes could happen in same time. Changes detection can't be used for conflicts avoid in such cases. I have no idea how…

While talking for missing features that have to be added, let's mention missing adequate API dedicated for serialization. Currently something similar tends to be "2/files/lock_file_batch" and "2/files/unlock_file_batch". While previous API calls are usable to serialize user (human) work, the same calls can't be used for…

🤔🧐 Strange! Maybe your computer is too slow!? Anyway... Let's try in smaller steps. Try stop the daemon at first, using following: dropbox stop dropbox status Execute above commands one by one. Repeat "dropbox status", if needed, till result "Dropbox isn't running!". Once the status shows that daemon gets completely…

@"8ccarlile" wrote:... Is there any way to somehow extend the data presented in the API response? ... Hi @"8ccarlile", Seems, my impression related to your final intent is wrong. The fastest way to get actual data of pointed file is using "2/files/download" API call. That's why I pointed this way. If for some reason you…

Hi @"8ccarlile", You have already everything need to reach file content, using the "2/files/download" API call. 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"sleepysloth", Now everything seems better. Should be some other issue. Can you post the log on dropbox start? Actually, post the result of: dropbox stop; rm -rf /mnt/sdc1/Dropbox/.dropbox*; dropbox start Wait for the moment when startup process finished completely. Let's see if there are some helper messages…

Hi guys, One way to workaround could be keep a list of cursors on regular basis and use the desired to enumerate latest (using /list_folder/continue). 😉 Hope this gives idea. Add: Final solution could be Dropbox adds support of double directional lists. Currently API calls (like /list_folder or…

@"Emma" wrote: ...Please note this is translated so apologies for any errors! 😯 Oh... Realy? 🧐 You just forgot to mention, what is the language that's translated from! 😆😃 Oh.. "Copy/Paste" Ohhh...

@"RobLatour", No any applet is guilty. 🙂 Seems Dropbox has fixed its system relatively fast! 🧐 Something very rare (don't to say like never before). 🤷 Let's hope, we can see such (or similar, at least) speed for many other ongoing troubles. 🙄 Let's hope...

@"Markstvn" wrote:... I added a new Sub-Folder to the Folder which was copied and pasted to the Drop Box Drive. ... I did not add it to the Dropbox Folder on my local drive, because I was under the impression that when additional subfolders were added to the original folder they would automatically appear in the Drop Box…

Ok, The good news is absence of any access permission issues (as much as could be seens). The bad thing is time lost to we figure out there is something wrong with 'jq' and 'tree' install you have performed. Anyway... You can check out what's done in wrong, if want, and we won't use them here from now on. Just to make sure…

🧐🤔 No, no, no... You're killing me. That's impossible. 'ls' and 'tree' both do very similar things. It's impossible for one of them 'error opening dir', but for the other no problem - both need the same access (ls - even a bit more). 🤷 Are you sure the both are execouted in same context - the same local user 'naomi'? 🧐…

You are using officially unsupported FS type - ext3. Anyway... Dropbox can't make distinction between ext3 and ext4, so this is unlikely be a reason. But this approximate count - 3, seems wrong (suspicious, at least). Are you sure there are some files in the Dropbox folder? Can they be seen using following command: tree -a…

Hi @"sleepysloth", It's really strange! 🤔 There are contradictions in your information. Seems, you have full access, but you're receiving "Permission denied". I have to confess, don't have any explanation to that. Anyway... We can check a little twisted version. What's the result of the following command: echo -n "Your…

The problem is NOT application related. Seems, the system is compromised somehow. I have mentioned this already here. Let's see how long will take for Dropbox fix it.

Hi guys, Don't try any tricks with your applications. That's something unrelated to any application. Seems, the Dropbox system got down partially (for some reason). Time ago I was being able observe what's going on when change something in my account using my phone, for example, while looking at web interface (without need…

Hi @"eight-fives", If you are looking for a way to receive notifications for changes in client side application (not something residing on server), might be more convenient usage of long poll API call (or equivalent SDK implementation). Take it a look. Good luck.

Ok, seems you have proper access rights on the folders (including configuration one). Let see what about the configuration content. Post the following command result: ls -al ~/.dropbox What outs the following command too: cat ~/.dropbox/info.json; echo 🤔

Hi @"Elsap", Actually, you can't move any of the folder selected since all folder designated for move and the receiving folder are shared. Nesting of shared folder is not supported. That's where your error comes from. Hope this helps.

Hi @"djjem64", Dropbox doesn't support cooperation to any other competitive service, but pCloud support such (including cooperation with Dropbox). Do whatever you want through pCloud' site. That's possible there! 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"strugglingstudent", I am not sure still what application you are trying to build and run (you didn't share a link to yet). One more thing you should take care about is what are scopes you have queried at moment of authentication (at runtime). Even when you have enabled all available scopes at application creation…

@"strugglingstudent" wrote:For more information, I enabled all the necessary scopes, detele the app, reinstall, login again, and that error still exist! ... Hi @"strugglingstudent", What you mean "that error still exist"? Do you mean that "files.content.read" scope is missing still, despite you have added in the just…

Hi @"strugglingstudent", The error message is self explanatory enough. 😉 Did you add in your set of scopes all needed scopes at the application creation time? 🧐 Seems not. In the particular case, the error shows you that the "files.content.read" scope is missing. Just be more careful on application creation! 🙂 Hope this…

@"mrivera" wrote:... Does the api works through an specific address? ... Hi @"mrivera", While the words are going on about network API, there is always some kind of address (either domain name or IP). In particular case addresses are pointed by domain names. @"mrivera" wrote: ...Can I ask the network admin people to open…
