Yes, you can use the redirect_uri option for this. The redirect URI you supply doesn't actually need to be an HTML web page. You should use the PKCE option, and use a redirect URI that goes directly to your app, e.g., by using a custom URL scheme that you register for your app.

The Dropbox API files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue methods do not offer an ordering option, nor is there a way to indirectly control the order exactly, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. The entries returned by are returned in the order…

If the response from /2/files/list_folder or /2/files/list_folder/continue indicates '"has_more": true', that indicates that there are more results to be retrieved, and so the app should take the "cursor" value from the response and call back to /2/files/list_folder/continue with that value as the "cursor" parameter. That…

Thanks for the post! Dropbox doesn't currently offer a way to embed a file request like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

@"mwg" I don't have any news on this from the team yet I'm afraid. I'll bring this up with them again though.

Thanks for the post! The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to request only specific fields like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

To redirect back to your app after the user authorizes the app, you should use the 'redirect_uri' parameter on /oauth2/authorize that you mentioned. I recommend referring to the /oauth2/authorize documentation and OAuth Guide for more information. Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "There is a problem in using…

Dropbox API v2 does offer the ability to upload files to a connected account directly from a URL, via the /2/files/save_url endpoint. You can find information on that here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url 

@"pcuadros" Thanks for the notes! I'm sending this along to the team, and I'll follow up here with any updates.

It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue with a third party application. Please reach out to the support organization for that app for help. If the developers of this app are having any trouble with the Dropbox API itself, they can reach out to Dropbox developer support directly with the relevant technical details.

Yes, Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. Use of the Dropbox API works via HTTPS calls to the Dropbox API servers, which can be done entirely on a site's backend if desired. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API,…

@"tomkr" This error message you're getting is referring to specifying what account on the Business team to operate on behalf of. For reference, when using any "team scopes", the resulting access token is connected to an entire Dropbox Business team, not an individual account. So, when using a team-scoped access token to…

@"nicocizik" No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this feature request.

Thanks for the post! It sounds like you're referring to this earlier thread. Our current certificates will be expiring, so we'll need to update them before they do, and we're also planning to move away from using EV certificates, which involves using a different root. In order to handle that without disruption,…

Dropbox does not offer an API for getting and re-enabling webhook URIs programmatically, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. (As for the issue itself, if you're having any unexpected trouble with webhooks, you can open an API ticket here, if you…

Thanks for the detailed report! We'll look into it and I'll follow up here once I have an update on this for you.

When using the Dropbox Embedder, there are two ways to run it, as covered in that documentation under the two sections: * "Embedding Files or Folders using anchor tags" * "Triggering the Embedder using JavaScript" For both of those though, you need to load the "dropins.js" script, e.g., via the <script> tag that you…

In order to create a shared link, the user's email address needs to be verified on Dropbox. A CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError.emailNotVerified error indicates that the user's email address is not currently verified, so it needs to be verified before they can use this functionality. Users can find information on verifying…

There are a few things that come to mind here: * When first created, app folders are put inside a top level folder, so you'd need to look inside that folder to find the app folder. If the account is set to English, that top folder will be called "Apps", but there are different translations for other languages. * Make sure…

The methods for calling the API in the Dropbox Python SDK like files_list_folder don't offer the original JSON, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. You can transform the information in the returned native object, such as ListFolderResult…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66247055/query-dropbox-api-with-select-user-url-parameter ] First, note that you don't need to use `request_json_object` directly. You generally should use the native methods provided for each endpoint. In the official Dropbox Python SDK, for…

Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations, so it sounds like it should work for your use case. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers…

@"studioharrison" Thanks for the note. I don't have an update on this yet but I'll follow up here once I do.

@"rishutiwari" You should only use the /2/auth/token/from_oauth1 endpoint if you have old OAuth 1 access token keys and secrets stored, e.g., retrieved using OAuth 1 for API v1, which is now retired. If you don't already have any of those to convert, you shouldn't use this endpoint. Please refer to my earlier comment on…

@"Roason" Thanks for the post! Posting on the forum like this is a good way to weigh in and indicate that you'd like a particular feature to be implemented. I'll follow up here with any updates, but I don't have any new on this particular feature request.

It sounds like you want access the folders in your "team space". By default, Dropbox API calls operate in the "member folder", not the team space, but you can configure them to operate in the team space when desired, by setting the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. For information on how to do so, please refer to the Team…

@"Elliott C.1" No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this feature request.

I don't have any news on that feature request unfortunately. I'll add this to that request, but I can't promise if/when it would be done. As for the method from the web site, that is not officially supported, and is subject to change at any time. Third party apps should only use the officially documented public API.

If you request "offline" access like that, you'll get a refresh token that can be used to programmatically get a new short-lived access token whenever needed. If you use the constructor my colleague linked to, supplying your refresh token, app key, and app secret (if not using PKCE) in the DbxCredential, the Java SDK will…

The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to update only a portion of a file like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
