A link ban would not impact the ability to read/add/edit/delete/search files or metadata. It only affects an account's links. So, the ability to read/add/edit/delete/search files or metadata does not indicate whether or not your account's links are banned.

A 'not_allowed' error from /2/files/get_temporary_link indicates: not_allowed Void The user is not allowed to request a temporary link to the specified file. For example, this can occur if the file is restricted or if the user's links are banned. The help center article linked there has more information on link bans. You…

In order to provide more time for clients to update their trust stores, we will continue the use of DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA until at least January 1st, 2022. We will soon replace the current certificate for api.dropboxapi.com, which expires soon, with another one also from DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA.…

The Dropbox API now supports enabling/disabling the download restriction on a shared link via the SharedLinkSettings.allow_download setting on /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings and /2/sharing/modify_shared_link_settings (and corresponding methods in the official SDKs). You can also check the setting for a shared…

La API de Dropbox ahora admite habilitar / deshabilitar la restricción de descarga en un enlace compartido a través de la SharedLinkSettings.AllowDownload con los CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync y ModifySharedLinkSettingsAsync en el SDK de .NET. -----------– Disculpa la calidad de la traducción. Hemos utilizado un…

@"mirage_alaas" The Dropbox API now supports enabling/disabling the download restriction on a shared link via the SharedLinkSettings.AllowDownload setting with the CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync and ModifySharedLinkSettingsAsync methods in the .NET SDK. 

@"chrillep" No, I don't have any updates on this request.

This is fixed in v4.0.1 of the Java SDK.

Exactly how you prepare your app(s) for the upcoming changes will depend on your app/environments, such as whether or not you're using any official Dropbox SDK(s). If you are using an official Dropbox SDK, please make sure you're using the latest version of it, and refer to the current documentation to make sure you're…

1. Yes, using the authorizeFromControllerV2 method in the SwiftyDropbox SDK will handle this automatically for you. It will make the SDK request, store, and use a refresh token for the client automatically. 2. You are not required to change the "Access token expiration" setting for the app on the app's page on the App…

Each 'client.files.download' call downloads one file by making one HTTPS request to the Dropbox API servers. Additionally, these calls run asynchronously, and will not block until the call completes. That is, calling 'client.files.download' will start the HTTPS request, but will itself return before it's complete and the…

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 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/refresh token(s) *…

When setting options like this, you should use the provided instance, like this: var visibility = RequestedVisibility.Public.Instance; Also, I see you're checking the "RequestedVisibility" in the result, but you probably want to actually check "ResolvedVisibility", since that's what tells you what the final state actually…

@"endreymarcell" Thanks for the feedback! And yes, deleting an account does free up the email address on it.

The getAuthenticationUrl method takes an tokenAccessType option for this. You can set that to "offline".

Yes, scoped apps can still use the old authorizeFromController method. It will just use the default scopes set for the app in the App Console.

To retrieve the account information, such as email address, of the connected user you can use the /2/users/get_current_account endpoint.

Thanks for the post! It looks like this is the same issue discussed here.

Are you attempting to download from a shared link directly? If so, you may be running in to the issue discussed here. Please take a look at that and see if it helps. Otherwise, I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. In that case, please reply with: *…

Thanks for following up! I'm glad to hear you resolved this already.

First, note that you don't need to use the request_json_object method directly. You should use the provided native methods for the API endpoints, such as files_list_folder for /2/files/list_folder. Anyway, this error message is referring to specifying what account on the Business team to operate on behalf of. When using…

We don't have any resources for ReactJS in particular, but perhaps someone else on this forum has something they can share. For reference, if you haven't already found them, you may want to check out the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for information on how that flow works. And if you're using an SDK or…

Yes, you need to set the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header in order to root an API call in the team space (to access those other folders shown in your screenshot). The Team Files Guide goes over how to do this. That is, you can get the root_namespace_id value from /2/users/get_current_account and use that in the…

Yes, that's correct.

Thanks. Yes, unfortunately there isn't really anything else here that would be useful. Let me know if you can reproduce this with curl directly though.

First, for reference, the Dropbox API does offer the ability to retrieve file data from a shared link (without using the "dl=1" option on the link itself), via the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoint. You may want to look into whether or not that suits your use case. Anyway, I don't know off hand what may have changed…

It sounds like your team is set up to use the "team space" configuration, so the /2/team/team_folder/list[/continue] interface will only list the team's "team space" (or "shared workspace"). For teams with this configuration, you can list the contents of the team space directly using the /2/files/list_folder[/continue]…

OAuth 2 is an industry-standard protocol for authorization. Dropbox uses it to enable end-users to connect third party applications to their accounts without disclosing their credentials to the third parties.

Yes, this warning will be shown if your app is in development status. It will not be shown if your app is approved for production status.

"Entitlements" is a feature of iOS/macOS, made by Apple. As that's not made by Dropbox, I can't offer support for that. You can find information on that in Apple's documentation here. You can check on the current status of your app on the app's page on the Dropbox App Console. You can find information on the production…
