@"Frank P E." wrote:... how do I set the frequency for the backup to run? Hi @"Frank P E.", You cannot set such a thing in Dropbox. Backup for whatever you have selected runs continuous as far as your Dropbox application runs. Hope this clarifies matter.

@"paololago" wrote:Hi, if I want to access my own account with an API do I need to create an App? ... Hi @"paololago", Yes, for sure, you do. @"paololago" wrote:... I just want to read and write programatically to my own account, not publish an app or anything This doesn't matter. API needs authentication to work. On other…

Hi @"eni8ma", Hmm... 🤔 Something to work on desktop/laptop but not on mobile is strange. It might be network connections differences and others similar. In general it should work in the same way. Does it behave the same way when you use this simplistic application while playing some sings from your account? 🧐 (the…

@"tuliodepadua" wrote:... What could cause such a big difference between these dates? In general those dates are different things @"tuliodepadua". 😉 You should NOT expect server_modified and client_modified to be the same! 'server_modified' is guaranteed monotonic time that's server generated. On other side…

@"Cici cici" wrote:..., Failure writing output to destination... ... Hi @"Cici cici", That error message is NOT Dropbox (or any other service) related! 🙂 You have mistake in your script that calls the curl command. The destination file (or other entry in use) is NOT accessible for write for your code - whatever you have…

Hi @"Brad Henderson", To be honest I'm not familiar with the environment you're using. On the first look though, it uses OkHttp as underlying library. So you can take a look here for a simplistic example - example how OkHttp works. It may be easier for you to encode everything in the body (i.e. pass in the body text:…

Hi @"raulgrangeiro", You don't have any issue with your 'dropbox' package, so don't even try to fix it; there is nothing to fix. Everything in the package is working, as seems. What doesn't work is the Dropbox daemon - something that is NOT part of any package! So any package reinstall is meaningless (or unlikely to solve…

@"Walter" wrote:... If you're on the Dropbox Basic plan, make sure that you're not connecting more than 3 devices to your account as you might be hitting your account's device limit. For sure this cannot be @"Walter". If there are more devices linked already, the error wouldn't be at install time, but at link time…

Hi @"dhlocker", It's fine that it's working for you. One problem less. 😉 You cannot rely that it's a stable solution though. Actually you cannot rely that it's a solution at all! 'nautilus-dropbox' is deprecated package and only a metapackage. The only thing it does is dependency of (link in fact to) the actual packet -…

Hi @"JoeWood", You can use file request to collect files from people that may or may not have Dropbox account. Hope this helps.

@"HollisHoHo" wrote:... Please explain in plain simple language how to fix this! ... HI @"HollisHoHo", The most simple way is to turn Dropbox Backup you have selected off. Don't use such extra features since there are lots of imperfections (not to say bugs). Good luck.

Hi @"NatalieFord", First let's clarify that there is no way to set file (including image, but not only) creation date! What may be set is only modification date. The advice above, that Greg gave, is about that time. Another thing is that all advises here (in this part of the forum) are about applications developers, not…

Hi @"Fraga", Did you run the installer with admin privileges or as a regular executable only? 🧐 If you have only tried as regular executable, give a try to elevated privileges as administrator too. 😉 Good luck.

@"jimbobbles" wrote: ... (i.e. is uploadSessionFinishBatchV2 a sync method which only returns once the batch finishing is complete ?) ... @"jimbobbles", You're correct - version 2 of that method (and API call accordingly) is sync method. The deprecated version 1 can be sync or async - somethin that need to be checked and…

It looks like the link sender has set link password. Just ask the sender to give you that password. If he/she has set such a password by mistake, it may be just removed. That password has nothing to do with your account password. Good luck.

@"solneve" wrote:..., I believe it does not work when there is special character in the filename to be uploaded (like ' or é (character with accent)), so the API needs to be reviewed. This issue seems to happen when we upload all types of files: jpg, pdf, txt. ... Hi @"solneve", Hm.. 🤔 Let's see... If you want to upload a…

@"tomglod" wrote:That may be true, ... Hi @"tomglod", It is definitely true! As Greg mentioned, meaning of content depends on content type. Empty string is definitely not valid JSON content type!!! Passing empty string as JSON is... a bug. To represent nothing, correct representation is null (by the way this is not a…

@"henrylopez", Did you check your proposals? 🤔 Is it working in such a way? Where do you close the sessions?! 😯 Write something check it and when everything works, push here. 😉

Hi @"jimbobbles", Batch upload is very similar to upload a big file using session upload, so you can start with some example showing single big file (more than 150MB) upload - there are such examples; select most familiar one to you. You should use such upload style for both big and small files! There are 2 main…

@"maigantian", Потърсете в сайта на Mircosoft (или в която и да е търсачка) за тази функционалност и съм сигурен, че ще откриете каквото ви трябва. 😉

@"LewisO" wrote:... I hope my question is clear enough this time. ... Your question is clear all the time @"LewisO". 😉 You haven't read my initial post here though: @"Здравко" wrote:... In fact there are such implementations - all plugins you want to mimic use such interfaces. Unfortunately, all those interfaces are not…

@"LewisO" wrote:... Other than the above procedures, there is no other direct way to get the thumbnails, despite the software already having full access to local disks, is this correct? Hi @"LewisO", In your question exists some ambiguity. Do you want just access to the local Dropbox folder (consequences don't matter) or…

@"LewisO" wrote:... After reviewing the API documentation, it appears the Dropbox API is designed primarily for web applications and doesn't allow direct access to local Dropbox folder content. Is this correct? ... Hi @"LewisO", In fact No - Dropbox API can be used in standalone applications as well as web based…

@"Ruxianwang" wrote: ... I opened the website, uploaded the same photo and it is the same size 4.7M. ... 👍Ok... As seems you have found a way that works for you. 😉 PS: I just tried on my own to add a photo to Dropbox as you described and download the same picture direct from the phone: As you can see both photos are…

@"Ruxianwang" wrote: ... I do upload photos by hand through the app but somehow it resize everything. I tried the website this morning and the size is the same. ... No, this is impossible. You are in confusion. Files uploaded in such a way are not modified in any way. @"Ruxianwang" wrote: ... But damage has already been…

Hi @"maigantian", The logo you mean is not a Dropbox logo neither something supposing sharing. As seems you have activated archiving/compression. To get rid of it, just turn that off. Hope this helps.

@"Ruxianwang" wrote: ... Is Dropbox compressing photos on the app like this ? Hi @"Ruxianwang", Hm...🤔 Yes, almost (despite not exactly). When Dropbox application performs automatic upload of photo, it don't sync it (or compress already saved Camera photo eventually) as you might think. Something else happens though. When…

Hi @"martymartyr1", You are asking what's going on when you get in over quota in fact. In such a case you ability to sync your files and to update them will be disabled. The only way to touch your files will be to download them using your web browser and, if you want, to delete some of them (again using web browser only).…

Hi again @"RileyL", The example there uses cURL command. This command is available for variety of platforms and free for use (also very powerful - I advise you use it for this and whatever else you would need). Of course, there are other commands that have their params and options. You CANNOT rely that different commands…

@"RileyL" wrote:... I get the reason for the short expirations and I am fine with coding in token refreshes, if I could just get the offline token I need to do it. We are only accessing our own Dropbox account and files, so we don't need other users to do any authorization of their accounts. ... Hi @"RileyL", Whenever you…
