Thanks for reporting this issue. This issue is now fixed with the latest release and should be working properly again. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks for the report. This issue doesn't seem to reproduce for me though. To help us investigate, can you share: * the version of the Dropbox Python library you have installed * the version of Python you're using * the full output you get

This should be fixed now. Please try again and let me know if you're still seeing the issue. Thanks!

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately the redirect URI functionality is the only way Dropbox offers to automate this.

When using the OAuth 2 code flow like this, using the /oauth2/token endpoint to exchange the authorization code for an access token is the correct and only way to get an access token. Exactly how you get that authorization code value to the client where you need to make the /oauth2/token call can vary though. As you…

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to get 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. 

Thanks for the report! We're working on it. I'll follow up here once I have an update on this.

Thanks, but there's no need to open this as an issue on GitHub as well. We're aware of the issue and are working on resolving it. I'll follow up here once I have an update on this.

Thanks for the report! This is an issue on our side. We're working on it.

Thanks for the report! We're looking into it.

Unfortunately, there isn't a good solution for this use case. Those endpoints are the right ways to download using a file path/ID or shared link, respectively, but as you found both of those only support "user authentication", so an access token is necessary. I'll pass this along as a feature request for support for…

I'm currently using the id field to track move/renames. But the problem was basically that I am unable to differentiate a DELETE from a MOVE. It's not a big problem if some of the actions are idempotent, but unfortunately, they are. Does dropbox have any plans to fix this behavior and allow the ability to differentiate…

Creating a shared link for any particular item via the Dropbox API should not (and does not, in my testing just now) automatically destroy the shared link for an enclosing folder of that item. We'll be happy to look into what is happening in your case specifically, but we'll need some more information. Please have the…

There can be a slight delay between new entries like this, as you found. The deletion and addition of a file for a rename or move operation aren't guaranteed to be delivered together, so if you happen to call at the right time you might see the deletion without the addition. If you later call back again…

It looks like you or your HTTPS client truncated the error message. Please print out the full error message information, as it will contain more information about the specific error scenario.

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

The 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header does not support a 'shared_folder' option. Please refer to the Namespace Guide for information and examples on how to use the header, such as what options it supports: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/namespace-guide For example, it sounds like you probably want to use the…

That seems like a reasonable way to workaround the issue. As long as you don't get and process any new entries and still reach `has_more:false`, it would be fine to fall back to original cursor to avoid making another change, which would trigger that loop again. If/when you do get actual changes returned, you can then…

Unfortunately, it's not possible to add additional owners to an app, or allow other accounts to view/configure an app's settings, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. We can transfer API app ownership upon request, but it would still only be…

No, unfortunately, it's not possible to use the 'listFileMembers' functionality for all files from any/all members just using asAdmin for an admin. You'll need to use asMember for the relevant members(s). The /2/sharing/list_file_members endpoints, which is what the 'listFileMembers' methods in the Java SDK use, only…

You can get the account ID of the account that last uploaded the file in FileSharingInfo.modified_by. For instance, you can get that from FileMetadata.sharing_info as returned by files_get_metadata or files_list_folder/files_list_folder_continue. You can get more information about a particular account based on an account…

I'm glad to hear you got that working. I see you opened a new thread for your other question so I'll follow up with you there.

The app key, a.k.a. client ID, is public, and does not need to be hidden. The app secret a.k.a. client secret, should ideally be kept secret. (Leaking your app secret could let someone impersonate your app to an extent, though it wouldn't by itself enable access to any file data.) Client-side apps fundamentally can't keep…

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it. By the way, the Embedder offers two different ways to set it up: * "using anchor tags" * "using JavaScript" You only need to use one or the other, but it looks like you're currently trying to use both. That is, you have both the "dropbox-embed" class on an anchor, as well as using…

No, the Business team restriction will still apply in that case.

Can you elaborate on what part you're currently stuck on? Both files_download and files_download_to_file will give you the file data, with the difference being how the data is returned. For files_download, the data is returned in memory, in the object in the second return value. For files_download_to_file, it's saved to…

Thanks for the additional information. In that case, it's likely due to a restriction that can be set on Dropbox Business teams that prevents links from being accessed outside of the team. By default, these links are accessible without authentication, but Dropbox Business team admins can optionally enforce additional…

Please note that per the documentation, you should be processing the OAuth flow in the system browser, not in a web view. Anyway, the "redirect URI" is where you want to send the end-user after they authorize your app. I can't tell you what it should be though since it will be specific to your app. You as the developer…

It sounds like you're using the "direct" link type. Those links do expire after four hours. You can use the "preview" link type instead though, which don't expire. You can find more information in the Chooser documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser You can also modify the "preview" links for different…

Dropbox itself doesn't have listings of developers to hire (though there may be some in the forum here who can chime in). There also may be third party marketplaces online where you can search for developers to hire, but we can't recommend any in particular.
