@"GioSomma" wrote:... Where am I doing wrong? Hi @"GioSomma", Actually, you weren't doing anything wrong, anywhere. 😉 Might be pointed some imperfections in your service file, but it's fine still. The problem comes from your expectations! 🧐 Note that Dropbox application is a client mode application, as noted in users…

@"PhantomRick" wrote: ... I have to manually download the files & had the scratch/[user] directory ... Hi again @"PhantomRick", I have no idea why you will need to "manually download" anything. 🤷 Dropbox application take care for this, usually, and keeps the content in sync. The "scratch" directory is something for…

Hi @"PhantomRick", Have you used "Make available offline" feature on the target files/folders to make sure they won't get off on some circumstances (primarily memory need)? 🤔 Hope this helps.

Hi @"sarnaud", It's important file system type as well as how particular partition gets mounted. Is it mounted at system boot up or at first query? May be more details could be get from following command set result: db_path=`jq -r '.personal.path' ~/.dropbox/info.json`; df --output $db_path; grep `df --output=target…

Hi @"Juan Karelse", Just set the correct email in your settings using edit link, next to the currently set email. Hope this helps.

Hi @"sverdon", You can enumerate all places of interest, using 2/files/list_folder / continue and for every one file considered target can create a shared link using 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. Once you get the links you want, you can make whatever you want with them. Hope this gives direction.

Hi @"jbiskofski", All right, since you have find out a solution working for you. Symptoms in your case are slightly different, for sure. 🧐 Your case is different, definitely, so don't mess them! Good luck! 😉

Read here and learn, if you want. Good luck!

Hi again @"tmelander". 😉 1 - Dropbox folder is a folder like any other folder in your computer, so nothing special, nothing aside of that I have said in the previous post above. 2 - It's safe generally. You have to be very careful while using some strange "features"! Read carefully everything before make some choice, not…

The reason I am calling the download API is I am trying to get the file data in arrayBuffer/BLOB so that I can upload the same in SAP servers. I hope this is the right way to get the file data. ... Yes, yes,…

Hi @"arpit2011", Your first error comes from fact you haven't used proper file identifier or path, but a shared link. That's exactly meaning of the error message there. I'm not sure what's not clear. Your second message shows that for some reason provided id don't identify a valid file anymore. Are you sure the id is…

Hi @"tmelander", 😃😄😀 Yes, you have reason for such a remark to a large extent! Basically Dropbox is a syncing service (at least initially). Additionally there are added some "features" targeted to local drive space saving. Not perfectly implemented and also so "perfectly" explained. In this context: 1 - Both. 2 - Both. 3 -…

See, doesn't matter how you would copy your folder to or from! The only important thing here is: are all paths referred from everyone project point to the valid place (direct or indirect) in the new office or not? You have to take care for the absolute path for every one component (according to the configuration used).…

@"emossi" wrote: ...Does anyone has a tip on how to avoid this? ... Hi @"emossi", The software you refer to usually save absolute path in links, as @"Rich" mentioned already. For software using relative links should not be any issue. So you shouldn't think about relative, but absolute paths in your links! This could be…

Hi @"FreddoArgento", First when you comment something, clarify what exactly you have been comenthing, so to be more clear what you are talking about. Doesn't matter where you touch "Reply", your text will go at the end every time! @"FreddoArgento" wrote:... is $USER a "wildcard" or I need to type my user, ... When you type…

Hi @"rosstcorbett", You can vote up on my idea I just shared, so problems, like yours, (managing Dropbox as a server) would get softer. 😉

It's not something related to Linux! It's the same for every one OS (including Windows and Mac). Let focus on Linux.You are trying 2 subcommand (options) - status and start.The first "dropbox status" seems to work (isn't it 😉) and shows that dropbox daemon is working and everything is up to date. What about the second -…

Hi @"rosstcorbett", 😁🙂 The first thing on command line have to be the command! 🤔 What is the command name for the Dropbox application? Next to the command all needed options or parameters, If any, should follow. Are there such things in your commands above and are they ordered correctly? 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"vineet", What are you doing when you rename something? 🤔 Isn't the same like you're moving content from one file/folder to another file/folder (with different name) in a same directory? Take a look on: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move 😉

Hi @"autratec", The only secure way to investigate what's going on would be take a look on the raw http stream and see what's the problem there. As far as I can see, there are 2 possible trouble points. In 'out_header' you miss the trailing separator, so header block and the request body could stick together. Add '\r\n' at…

Hi @"sbartan", Have you read "Request Data" documentation carefully? Make note on: By default, data will be sent using the application/json content type Little bit below could be seen: If you would like to send data using the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type, you should call the asForm method before making…

Hi @"ciobi", This bug affects only directory trees existing for a while. A new (relatively) directory tree isn't getting affected. So, a workaround could be moving affected trees in new directory, which serves as a alternative root. Let say, you have folders 'Folder1', 'Folder2', 'Folder3' and 'Folder4' inside your Dropbox…

Hmm... I haven't used folder downloads (and don't plan to use it), but this question make me curious and Yes, I can confirm: Dropbox use very strange zip format (variant of the format)!!! Would be fine a regular zip format be used for better compatibility, not some strange format fork. 😟🙄😱

Hi @"Darrell20", 1. Not actually. Web access is enough. 2. No, definitely. 3. Not exactly! You need to share a specially prepared link to actual file or folder, not just some link. For more info take a look here. 4. Could be, If desired. Usually not needed. 5. Personal account is private. Share things are only those…

Hi @"KingswoodCountry", Your error message have said where exactly is the problem - i. e. missing library "libglapi.so.0". Where did you decide from that the missing library is part of "libatomic1" package?! Particular library, on focus, is part of "libglapi-mesa" package. 😉 I believe, you know what has to be done. Hope…

@"Rich" wrote: ...Instead, you want to use Smart Sync. ... :grinning::grin::laughing: Where you got this crystal ball, @"Rich"? Let people decide what they want! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Hi @"vickibristol", As far as I can see you want to save particular file set on Dropbox and remove them from the local Dropbox folder completely. Such thing is possible, but not on per file basis! You can un-sync one or more folders and all content, including files and/or subfolders. So might be need a file rearrangement,…

Hi @"jimbob1977", What are results from following commands: host content.dropboxapi.com stat /Splash.jpeg If the above commands results are as expected, probably you have messed up curl command arguments. Try to put everything on a single line: curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload -H 'Authorization:…

Hi @"jimbob1977", If you run Linux, the best place of your question isn't API section. You can get link to arbitrary file in the Dropbox folder using CLI. Take a look on "sharelink" command. :wink: Unfortunately, CLI is available only on Linux, so if you run something else, this advice isn't for you (or at least, if you…

Hi anonymous, Yes, You are absolutely right; that what you say is upcoming bug (if Dropbox won't take care, as usual)! Let hope this time the status won't be broken application and after that some action, but... we will see. Just to note, the topic was about something related (somehow), not the same! So the discussed…
