After authorization, Dropbox does not provide UI, so you should make the necessary API call(s) and display the results in your app's UI as needed. For listing files and folders, you should use listFolder and listFolderContinue.

As you mentioned, Dropbox has introduced new "scopes" functionality, to enable more granular permissions for API apps. You can find more information on this in our blog post. Using the new scopes functionality is currently optional. You can still create non-scoped ("legacy") apps if you wish, and existing non-scoped apps…

No, you only need to process the app authorization flow once per user (unless they disconnect your app from Dropbox and want to reconnect it again). Once they authorize your app, and your app receives the result via the "Handle redirect back into SDK" step, you shouldn't call authorizeFromController[V2] again. You'll…

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let you know that the Dropbox API now offers "scopes" functionality, which you can use to set specific scopes at authorization time, during the OAuth 2 flow.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63409444/how-to-connect-dropbox-api-to-ios-app-with-swift-5 ] For the "Use of undeclared type 'DropboxOAuthCompletion'" and "Use of unresolved identifier 'ScopeRequest'" errors, it sounds like you probably just have an older version of SwiftyDropbox…

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately, no, we don't currently have a way of supporting this kind of scenario. The Dropbox Chooser page expects to be able to communicate with the original window to return the selected information and then close itself. This unfortunately fails when in this kind of single-window context.…

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let you know that the Dropbox "Extensions" feature is now publicly available. You can find information on it here: https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/extensions-guide

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to access file comments, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

Can you elaborate on what the issue is, or what functionality exactly you need? The "https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitl/1/..." kind of link is already a direct link to the specified file's data. It just doesn't happen to end in the file name/extension, but it does link to the file content. If accessed directly in the…

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let you know about a new feature called "Extensions" you may be interested in. It's a way for third party web applications to register certain file type extensions so that users of the app can easily open files of that type in the app from the Dropbox web site. You can find…

This should be returning the expected error now.

Thanks for writing this up! We appreciate you taking the time to share this. I've sent this along to the team. The latest release of SwiftyDropbox was focused on supporting new features of the Dropbox API itself. While we do expect to do more work on the SDK, we generally don't comment on specific future plans. Plans can…

After the user authorizes on app on Dropbox like this, Dropbox sends the user back to the address specified by the app. In this case, that address is on oauth.polevaultweb.com. This hostname 'oauth.polevaultweb.com' doesn't seem to be registered in DNS, so your browser can't find it. (I also just checked and can confirm it…

Thanks for the feedback! This has been requested a few times before, but I unfortunately don't have any news on this. I'll send your request along to the team as well though.

Sure, I'll follow up with you with any updates I get on this request.

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately Dropbox has not implemented this, and I can't speak to why any particular feature was or wasn't prioritized over another, but I'll send this along to the team.

@"jeff00coder" I see you also posted this in a new thread, so I'll follow up with you there: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Why-does-Dropbox-not-support-multiple-Owners-aka-Collaborators/m-p/442897#M1413

Thanks for the post. It sounds like you're referring to the new "Extensions" functionality. When using this, it's not possible to automatically get an access token directly from the "Open" or "Share" flow. You need to have the user authorize the app using the OAuth flow first. (By "some extensions the file opens…

This error message indicates that your app does not have the required scope for accessing that endpoint. For /2/file_requests/count, the required scope is "file_requests.read". Also, note that the /2/file_requests/count endpoint is for getting the count of "file requests", not actual files. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a…

when a user connects Dropbox with OAuth2, we need to be able to query all their Dropbox Paper. How do we do that for legacy users who have been around before Sep 25 2019, without using the deprecated endpoints. Right now, the only way to programmatically access Paper docs for users that haven't been migrated (i.e., not…

You can just leave this open. I'll follow up here once I have an update on this.

Thanks for the report! This looks like an issue on our side. I'll ask the team to fix this up to return that specific 'cant_share_outside_team' error in this case.

Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like this is due to an issue on our side with using scoped apps with the authorization flow from that mobile SDK. We'll work on that. For now, you'll need to use a non-scoped ("legacy") Dropbox API app with Full Dropbox access. I'll follow up here once this flow is resolved for scoped apps…

In that case, can you share: * the Dropbox library or SDK you're using, including the version number * the code snippet you call to start the flow that isn't working * the URL of the page in Chrome Thanks!

Thanks for the post. As you mentioned, Xamarin isn't officially supported for the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK, so I can't offer much help with that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. And by "Mobile apps don't need to set the Redirect URI in app…

Yes, to clarify, as linked above, exporting a Paper doc as Markdown from an account with the new Paper setup is possible manually via the web site. The original request here is for the ability to do so programmatically, via the API, which is not currently possible.

That output unfortunately doesn't seem to reference Dropbox. Can you share the rest of the details, e.g., as outlined in my last comment, so I can get a better idea of what is failing/where? Thanks in advance! 

The file properties functionality should be available and working from a "Full Dropbox" app, whether the app is registered for scoped access or the legacy permission system. Can you elaborate on the "5xx error on a login attempt" issue you ran in to though? There is a known issue with the app authorization flow on mobile…
