Hi @"enjayare", The problem seems not just permissions, but owning. Your can read this for more information how to revert owning. It's normal when you switch to different user not to see directly Dropbox folder of the initial user. :wink: Every user have their own such folder. You have to be still able to navigate to…

Hi @"enjayare", The problem is not in the application. Seems you have changed access rights to that folder (probably by mistake). Fix the permissions (through folder settings) and lets hope everything will be fine. :wink: Hope this helps.

Hi @"James_Phelps", You should take in mind while share a folder that the folder's content engage capacity to all account sharing that folder, i.e. not only your account capacity. This is Dropbox tactic for account capacity stacking prevention. So, if some account, participating in the particular folder sharing, is small…

Hi @"vherasme", Seems the file already exists. If I have to bet, You probably make erroneous upload instead update. :wink: Hope this gives some direction.

Hi @"iyushchuk", This is strongly dependent on the platform you take in mind. For example: for Android would be enough, for example, to include appropriate filter entry to your application Intent filter. :wink: Hope this gives some direction.

Hi @"mairabay", Similar things could happens when you try 'play' with the distribution directory while dropbox is still running (confirmed from my experience). Probably this could be some update process side effect (I haven't seen this but...). Anyway: While the main distribution directory (.dropbox-dist) is consistent and…

Hi @"hb_", The code you find out seems pretty old (last update 6 years ago). Old Dropbox API is implemented there (currently deprecated, although available still). I'm not sure if there is schedule for this API support dropping. From other view point this is good example of Boost library usage (very powerful C++ library).…

Yes, of course. But there are some differences you have to be aware! In C++ you can use overload functions (for example), but not in C. :wink: Again, just be careful.

:open_mouth: No! Just opposite. Just some more work would be needed, because of missing SDK ready. And Between: again libcurl is C library, not C++, that's why ifstream object can't be 'stream' (i.e. cast) directly. :wink: Be careful.

@"hb_" :grinning: :sunglasses: Yes definitely. You are trying to implement something like new SDK, in fact. :wink: That's why I proposed this on the thread! To be more easy, at least for future. May be an easier way would be take a look on some existing SDK (on language familiar to you) and reimplement what's there (at…

The same. In addition you can use CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE (you can't rely on zero termination). :wink: Good example could be foud here.

It's error to pass ifstream object as char sequence! You have to read the file content. :wink:

@"hb_", the Dropbox application do exactly what you are looking for. What exactly isn't enough?

Hey @"hb_", Seems you have some progress. :wink: Most upload operations (no restricted to Dropbox) are POST based. It would be difficult (and impractical) to encode big file's content to GET parameters! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Further, every content is transferred as... content and you have to direct where this…

Hi @"hb_", Definitely the problem is not in cited code line. Did you set properly CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER parameter? :thinking: Hope this gives some direction. :wink:

Actually it's not like a system close! System close is process and system message is send to every one application which gives the opportunity the applications closing properly. 'taskkill' stops (pause or kill) particular process. If at that moment there are incomplete operation (for example buffered, but not saved still…

Hi @"jega", For almost full control over the application, if that's very important for you, switch to Linux (only few actions are still restricted to GUI interface - move the Dropbox dir in fact). :wink: Many companies do that! You can use independent data server machine, running Linux or just virtual one, depending on…

Ok @"ScottTexProp", You have a backup so may be the easiest way is to remove the Dropbox directory completely. Open Windows file explorer and using Ctrl+L key combination focus changes to address line. Clear the line and paste there "C:\Users\Userp" (without quotes, of course) and push Enter. After that, locate the Dropbox…

Hi @"ScottTexProp", Make difference between application window and disk folder. :wink: Open the file explorer see what you can find out there. Also, while trying the action again, close any other open application (after save current work). Hope this gives some direction.

Hi @"Reyofsun", To be sure that everything will be fine, before turn the PC on, from some other device go in your https://www.dropbox.com/account/security and unlink the PC. :wink: After that everything is safe. Good luck.

Ok, improper formulation. Is the Dropbox API support all unicode characters, i.e. such that can't fit in 2 bytes? The same question in different words!

Hi @"Greg-DB", Sorry for my fast response. Seems in particular case the names are not encoded properly, Yes. I just assumed that a developer know that http(s) transport is ascii-based. One provocative question in this context: Is You site (dropbox.com) follow the rules You just describe above? What I mean: After a try to…

Hi @"CFGtech", The answer is very simple, but unfortunately not good. Dropbox Unicode support is not full. I already have mentioned for this here (including in a ticket). Your query is one more voice. :wink: Let's hope we will see proper support someday.

Hi @"Daphne", While passing information to dev team about this issue, may be it's good to be added the fact that Dropbox don't recognize file move from file copy and delete! This is very important and noted multiple times in the forum, but seems without enough attention from Dropbox side. File moving is generic operation…

I'm a user like You. I'm not dropbox staff! Probably if You have more questions, Dropboxers can helps. I'm happy if my advices has helped You. :wink: Здравко Гърмев

Hi @"dbagadia", About the command line: Yes, You can, but I can't see any reason You should do that. But anyway, You can run the Dropbox daemon as You do to any other program. I will advise You to use the autorun functionality. About the username/password: Dropbox is using OAuth. At account link time (during install), new…

Hi @"dbagadia", :thinking: Using any endpoint from Dropbox API suppose driving in context of OAuth session. This in turn suppose access to a Dropbox account from both parties (either shared or 2 connected). Dropbox application is example for a utility which use the API and ready for use. In this context I can't see a…

Hi @"dbagadia", There are number of scenarios You can choose from. Most simple is, if You and the external party believe to each other so, the both of You can share the same account. In such a case You dont have to use any API. Just any device (desktop, laptop, phone, tablet...), where access to the shared files is need on…

Hi all, Anyone, who want direct access to the corresponding file, can replace ending 'dl=0' or 'dl=1' using 'raw=1'. Hope this helps. :wink:

Hi @"Nakturnal", Are You using beta version?! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Go to stable! Hope this helps!
