While the creation of new long-lived access tokens is now deprecated, we don't currently have a plan to disable existing long-lived access tokens. (If that changes, we will of course announce that ahead of time.) That being the case, you can continue using existing long-lived access token(s) without interruption. Note…

The access token you posted, which starts with "sl.", is a Dropbox OAuth 2 access token. Note that you should never post these publicly though, so please refrain from doing so in the future. The "sl." prefix indicates that this particular access token is a "short-lived" access token, meaning that it was only valid for four…

@"dotNET_Guy" Q1. Perhaps @"Andrewer016" would be so kind as to share their updated code with that fixed. Q2. Likewise, perhaps @"Andrewer016" can share this piece as well, if they updated their code to include this. Very basically though, it would look like this: foreach (var entry in status.AsComplete.Value.Entries){ if…

To restrict search result to matching on the filename and not content, you should set FilesSearchOptions.filename_only to true. (By the way, your match_field_options doesn't look set correctly. That takes a FilesSearchMatchFieldOptions which only has a boolean include_highlights property.) Anyway, the Dropbox API does not…

Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to list/filter files only since a specific date, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Thanks for the post! I'll pass this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.

@"horton" Thanks for the note! I don't have an update on this, but I've added your post to the request.

Thanks for the additional reports and information! The team is currently investigating.

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it.

The kind of link in your screenshot is a temporary link returned by /2/files/get_temporary_link. There isn't an option to make those shorter, but an alternative would be to use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings instead. That returns shorter shared links that don't expire by default. They do point to HTML preview…

Dropbox doesn't have an official best practice/recommendation for this, nor a "Default" option like you described, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. So, you can do whatever works best for your app. I suggest something like option 2, but instead of…

It sounds like you're looking for the feature called "full-text search". That's only available to accounts with certain Dropbox plans. Please refer to the help center article for more information.

Thanks for the report. There's an issue with that button currently. Open an API ticket from that account owns that app, and let us know which one you're referring to, and we'll get that enabled for you manually as a workaround.

This "The given OAuth 2 access token is malformed" error is referring to the oauth2_access_token parameter value you're passing to the Dropbox constructor. It means that the value you're passing in is not a valid Dropbox access token. You'll need to correct that to make sure you're passing in a valid access token for that…

Yes, the Dropbox API does offer the ability to search for a particular query in a particular file type under a particular path. I see you're using searchBuilder though, which is deprecated, so you should update to searchV2Builder instead. The SearchV2Builder documentation shows what methods/parameters you can use. A…

If there are multiple changes at the same time in the same account or shared folder (or more accurately, "namespace"), you can run in to this 'too_many_write_operations' error, which is "lock contention". That's not explicit rate limiting, but rather a result of how Dropbox works on the back-end. This is a technical…

Can you clarify what you mean when you say you are only getting "null"? Is that the value being returned by the CreateFolderV2Async method itself, or is the method raising an exception? Also, the code you shared here does not show you retrieving the return value, nor handling any exceptions. Additionally,…

I see you're using v4.7.0 of the Dropbox .NET SDK, which is relatively old now. We recommend updating to the latest version, currently v6.16.0. In any case, you mentioned you're using /files/create_folder_v2. That's the API route itself, which would correspond to a native method in the SDK, such as CreateFolderV2Async.…

I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with: * the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any * the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or…

@"Siva K" No, there isn't an update on this feature request.

Can you share the code you're using that produces this error? Based on the error message, it sounds like you're not supplying the "grant_type" parameter when calling the /oauth2/token endpoint. That "grant_type" parameter should be set to either "authorization_code", when exchanging an authorization code for an access…

@"gorkemhacioglu" No, unfortunately I don't have news on this request.

We've reverted to the previous behavior for newly returned links. I can't guarantee what the exact behavior will be long-term, but I'll follow up once I have an update on that.

Thanks for sharing this! It looks like this is due to how we set the "Etag" value on these responses, causing the browser to cache the result. We'll look into it, but in the meantime, the easiest way to work around this client-side may be to use a POST instead of a GET, as that should avoid the caching anyway.

@"kelly0318" This is an old thread about writing code to download from Dropbox programmatically. If you need help using Dropbox itself you may want to open a thread in the 'Help from the Community > Files & folders' section or otherwise contact support.

Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you got this sorted out. I'll pass this along as feedback to see if we can improve the error returned in cases like this to include the path value itself.

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

We can't provide support for using and configuring PyCharm, as it's not made by Dropbox. I recommend referring to the PyCharm documentation and support resources for guidance on that.

A 200 status code indicates that the call succeeded, which for /2/files/download means that the requested file data is returned in the response body. So, it looks like your "a.csv" file actually contains that sample curl code, and your client is showing it as text there in that "Body" section.

@"DuraUser" Dropbox refresh tokens don't expire automatically, but they can be revoked by the app or user on demand.
