Hi Sudip - to clarify, do you want to know what extension to use to check for a folder in the list of Dropbox contents? What code are you using to get the list from Dropbox? Folders do not have extensions, but I don't think looking for 'nil' is what you want. You can check if an entry is a folder, not a file, but looking…

Yes, you can set the `rev_limit` on the API v1 endpoint /revisions. The default is 10, max is 1,000. Documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#revisions . Are you getting errors when trying to set the rev_limit to more than 100? You can also do this with API v2's /files/list_revisions, using the…

Thanks, I'll make sure to add that to the feature request.
-
Yes, the /team/log/get_events (aka the audit log) for API v1 is what you want. Unfortunately, the API does not support webhooks for login events, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. Also, you may find API v2's /devices/list_members_devices endpoint useful (documentation here:…

Apologies, I was confusing member IDs and account IDs. Account IDs are 40 characters long, but member IDs can be longer or shorter. You can indeed use MembersGetInfoArgs to pass in the member ID you have as a single-item list to MembersGetInfoAsync. Let us know if you have any trouble with that!
-
Yes, account IDs are 40 characters long. Can you share the code snippet where you get the account ID from the Dropbox API?
-
Why do you say you can't use the standard memberId because it's 41 characters long? Is there error output that states there's a problem with the length of the memberId? If you already have the member ID, I believe you could just create a list (a MembersGetInfoArgs.Members) that has a single item, and pass that to the…

Thanks for the report, this looks like a bug on our side. I'll send it along to our team.

By the way, have you looked at the /get_previews endpoint? Depending on the file type, that can return a PDF version of the file. Try passing your .doc files from your app to /get_previews, and let us know if the returned content suits your needs.…

The API doesn't support converting file formats, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

It's currently not possible to get the members of a single shared file, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. To your current solution: I don't think this will work. Single-shared-file members are not necessarily the same as shared folder members. You can call /list_folder (to get the contents of a…

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it.

Hi Ge - thanks for reporting. I think this is a bug in Firefox. See this StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33902289/using-dropbox-v2-api-from-browser . We haven't had reports about this happening in Safari yet. Is it the exact same error? If not, can you share the code and output, so I can try to…

Dropbox's uploading works best for files less than 150 MB in size. See https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v2.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/DbxUserFilesRequests.html . The downloading endpoints will return a size parameter in the response, though I'm not sure what the size restrictions are, if any. You can…

Hi George - yes, there is a way to create expiring shared links to content on Dropbox. You'll use /create_shared_link_with_settings and set the expired field in the request. https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings However, I don't think these links are…

Just to make sure I understand, you want users to be able to upload images from their SD cards to their Dropbox accounts, using the API? This is definitely possible with the Android SDK. You'll want to follow along on the tutorial here (v1: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/start/android; though, I strongly…
-
Do you mean that you have 750GB of data on Dropbox that you want to copy to an external harddrive, or 750GB of data on an external harddrive that you want to upload to Dropbox? In either case, if you want to do this programmatically, you can use the HTTP API to accomplish both. Take a look at the links below, which will…

Thank you for your feedback, Abi. We're currently tracking this as a feature request, though we have nothing to announce at the moment.
-
It's not currently possible to override the client_modified value set by the client using the API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Hi Quentin - it sounds like you're familiar with the "Enable additional users" option for development status apps, and that you've done this already. I'd suggest double-checking that the app key used in your web app's code is the same as the Dropbox API app key that has the 100 users enabled. If you still run into this…

We don't currently offer DLNA streaming in the API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
-
This could be a number of issues. Can you share the code snippet that calls the endpoint, and the full text of the error output?
-
Do you know the path of the folder which has been deleted? If so, this is possible using /files/get_metadata, which will return a DeletedMetadata subtype if the file/folder at the requested path has been deleted. (However, the DeletedMetadata object does not include the folder's ID, only its path and name.) If you don't…
-
Yes, you can use the /move endpoint to move the contents from one path in Dropbox to another. In your example, you would set 'abc.txt' as the fromPath value, and 'def.txt' as the toPath. Here's the link to the Swift SDK…

For future reference, the developers page now has detailed documentation on how to use the Core API in Android Studio. See this link for more details: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/android
