Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer an officially supported way to get or build the private Dropbox web site URL for a file or folder like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. For reference, when calling /2/files/search_v2, the paths in…

Since the instance on the Dropbox site works for you, it sounds like there may be something in particular about it on your site that is causing an issue in Edge. Could you share a link to where on your site we could reproduce the issue so we can investigate? Feel free to open a ticket here if you'd prefer to share…

Yes, Dropbox offers the /2/files/save_url endpoint which can be used to save a file to Dropbox by supplying a URL. It either returns the result directly, or an async job ID. If it returns an async job ID, you would then use /2/files/save_url/check_job_status to check the result. By the way, those are links to the…

Yes, the Dropbox API certainly offers the ability to access and monitor nested folder/subfolders at any depth. (For example, /2/files/list_folder[/continue] can be used to access any folder level, and also offers a "recursive" option. And Dropbox webhooks notify of changes at any depth.) I can't speak to what functionality…

Thanks for your patience while we looked into this. This issue was related to accessing the contents of accounts using the "team space" configuration in particular: https://help.dropbox.com/teams-admins/team-member/team-space-overview This should be working properly now. Please refer to the updated documentation for more…

Apologies for the delay here. I just wanted to follow up to let you know that the team has been working on improving the error rate here. It may not be possible to completely eliminate all occurrences of issues like this though, so you may wish to implement automatic retrying in your app if you haven't already and you're…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/How-to-Show-image-of-dropbox-in-asp-net-C/td-p/441262 ] I see you're getting a 400 error code, but you should also print out the response body itself, as it would contain a more useful error message. We can't provide support for the…

@"joeybladb" Thanks for the note! I'll send it along to the team.

Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here. For .NET in particular, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK. The page…

You would retry just the failed request(s). So, in the case of a call to /2/files/upload_session/append_v2, that would be the request with just that one chunk of data. You don't need to retry previous successful calls; the data for upload sessions calls that succeeded would still be valid.

It looks like these were also due to some transient server issues on our side. This can happen sometimes, so an automatic retry or two is still the best way to handle these.

I don't believe the "unknown error" message is coming from Dropbox itself, so it's likely coming from the client you're using. We can't provide support for the client itself though, as it's not made by Dropbox. Can you enable any extra logging or verbose mode though? If the Dropbox API request itself is failing,…

@"Rombout V." I've split your message off to its own thread, as the original thread was actually about a different host ('content.dropboxapi.com') than what you're referring to ('dl.dropboxusercontent.com'). Also, note than in your message you actually referenced something else, "dl.securecusercontent.com", which is not…

@"alexandreafc" It looks like this one may be due to the amount of activity on the account. Can you let me know how many items you were trying to copy in this batch? Also, were you trying to run more than one operation at a time, and if so, how many? Feel free to open a ticket instead if you'd prefer.

I don't have numbers or a timeline to share, but you can find more information about the team space and how a team may be able to opt in to it here: https://help.dropbox.com/teams-admins/team-member/team-space-overview

@"dansome" No, unfortunately there isn't any progress on this request.

The Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer the ability to list or read comments on Dropbox Paper docs, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

The /2/files/download endpoint is a "content-download" style endpoint, meaning it expects the parameters in the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' request header, not the request body. You're sending your parameters in the request body, so it's returning that error. Move your parameter JSON to the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' request header instead.

That's correct, based on that output, that team is not configured with a "team space". If you contact Business support from that account they may be able to enable that for your team though.

If you're trying to download file content, you should instead use /2/files/download, for normal files, or /2/files/export, for things that can't be downloaded normally. Please refer to the documentation linked above for more information and examples.

Yes, you should use /2/files/upload to update a file. That will work for .txt as well as other extensions.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63030833/update-content-of-a-cloud-file-with-dropbox-api ] A ".txt" file wouldn't be considered a cloud doc, so you should just use the normal file endpoints to interact with it. For example, to upload a new version, you should use /2/files/upload:…

I'm afraid we can't be of much help with this unfortunately, as it doesn't seem these files are being produced by Dropbox code. The Dropbox JavaScript SDK is open source, so you can see what it's doing at the following locations in the code for the 'filesUpload' method you're using, for instance: *…

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

No, unfortunately the API doesn't offer the ability to set a specific depth of entries to return, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

When you get 'has_more:true' back from /2/team_log/get_events, you need to call back to /2/team_log/get_events/continue using the returned 'cursor' (and so on). The exact page size for any single response from these endpoints is not guaranteed, so make sure you have that implemented so you can retrieve all of the results,…

Dropbox does not support processing the OAuth app authorization flow in a web view, so I'm afraid I can't offer help with that. Please update your app to use the system browser instead. You can find more information in the authorization documentation.

Yes, the Dropbox OAuth app authorization flow allows you to prompt the user to sign in to Dropbox to authorize your app, resulting in an access token you can use to upload files. Please refer to the links in my previous comment in this thread for information on how to implement that. If something isn't working as expected,…

No, Dropbox doesn't support this limited input OAuth flow, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. You could likely implement something to that effect on top of the Dropbox API OAuth 2 code flow though. That would require you to maintain your own server…
