Dropbox doesn't offer a pre-built library or tutorial for a sync client, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. The Dropbox API does offer the ability to list, upload, and download files programmatically though, among other operations, so you can…

Thanks for confirming that! Also, the team is working on preventing this from happening again in the future, but they noted that they could use some more information to do so. Would you be able to share a current traceroute from a server that was affected to both of: * 162.125.8.8 * 2620:100:601b:8::a27d:808 Thank you!

There was a networking issue that prevented connections to the Dropbox API servers from some geographic areas, but that should be resolved now. Can you try again now and let me know if you're still seeing this issue? Thanks in advance! 

@"clarel" Thanks for the feedback! * It looks like this is due to one scrollbar appearing for the frame itself, and then one for the folder listing. I'll ask the team to see if we can eliminate that. * Yes, Dropbox Professional and Business customers can disable downloads via the Dropbox shared link feature. * There isn't…

Nothing looks clearly wrong in the code. Can you add some extra logging to see: * how many calls are being made to files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue, and when? e.g., how many of that repeated folder entry do you see per call? * what the value of result.cursor is each time to make sure it is changing each…

Thanks for the report! It looks like this may just be a bug on our side. We're looking into it and I'll follow up here once I have an update on this.

No, there isn't a way to disable that button, or hide the shared link itself. Since the Embedder operates by having the page supply the shared link, the user could just inspect the page's source to find the shared link anyway, even if that button wasn't shown.

We can't provide support for Laverna itself, as that's not made by Dropbox, but we're happy to help with any issues on the Dropbox side. It sounds like you're trying to access the /oauth2/authorize page to authorize the app, and the app is supplying a parameter named "dropboxKey". That's not an expected parameter though,…

@"Mark Abrams" Thanks for the feedback! The team decided not to implement the ability to programmatically upload to file requests, but I'll pass this along and follow up here if that changes.

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 name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any * the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s) * the full text of any error or…

No, Dropbox doesn't offer functionality like this anymore. While you could presumably still configure a CNAME like that, there isn't a way to get a predictable Dropbox root URL for sharing files. Every Dropbox shared link now uses a distinct URL.

That '0-SNAPSHOT' version of the dependency would be if you're building the SDK from source. That's only really necessary if you need to modify the SDK for some reason. Otherwise, I recommend just including the pre-built copy of the library as covered here. That's the first line you have commented out in yours. Do you…

Since you're attempting to use the Embedder on https://dropbox.diddo.dk/dropbox, you should register the domain 'dropbox.diddo.dk' (or just 'diddo.dk'; see my earlier comment). Do not include the protocol 'https://' since that's not part of the domain. Also, do not prepend 'www' since that's not in the actual domain…

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say it didn't work? Specifically: * what domain did you register? * are you still testing on https://dropbox.diddo.dk/dropbox/? * what error are you getting now?

The Android example app only supports SDK 19 and up. The Dropbox library itself doesn't have a documented minimum supported Android SDK level, but I would expect it to work on any SDK level where its dependencies can work. 

It looks like you're actually using old code, from before this change in 2018 (and maybe are mixing old code with new dependencies, or vice versa?). In any case, please use the latest version of the Dropbox library, sample code, and dependencies for compatibility. The latest release of the Dropbox Java library itself is…

This can occur when attempting to use the Embedder on a domain that you haven't pre-registered for your app. (Apologies this isn't better communicated by the Embedder. I'll ask the team to see if we can improve that.) To fix this, you'll need to add your app's domain(s) to the "Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains" field on…

@"dwissing" Thanks for the note!

When using filesUploadSessionFinishBatch, "UploadSessionStartArg.close or UploadSessionAppendArg.close needs to be true for the last upload_session/start or upload_session/append_v2 call". That is to say, since filesUploadSessionFinishBatch can't itself take any further file data, you need to make sure you've already…

I'm not sure off hand what the issue may be, but calling `if result.has_more` for each `entry` doesn't look like what you'd want to do. Once you're inspecting a particular entry, it shouldn't matter if there is another page of entries to retrieve (since you've already retrieved the entry you're operating on). I recommend…

Dropbox OAuth 2 authorization codes can each only be used once. (You should just use the authorization code once, but you can store and re-use the resulting access token.) The "code has already been used" error message should just indicate that the authorization code you're supplying has already been used. I just gave the…

You don't need to escape the "/" characters in the the shared link URL you send to Dropbox. Are you actually sending those "\/" like that, or is that just some special escaping you need to do first in your environment? Even if so, you're missing one in the initial "https://". The "url" value you send should look like:…

Dropbox does offer another way for programmatically downloading files from shared links, as documented here, but that doesn't offer an option for specifying a password. So, if you need to password-protect the link, that won't work. Dropbox doesn't offer anything like this beyond these two methods though.

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

The /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoint does currently only support "user authentication" so it does require an access token. I'll pass this along as a feature request for a way to call this without an access token, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented. 

Yes, when using upload sessions, you can set the 'client_modified' when you commit the file via /2/files/upload_session/finish using the 'commit.client_modified' parameter. (Likewise, if you're using /2/files/upload_session/finish_batch, it's the corresponding 'entries.commit.client_modified'.) You can click on the types,…

@"LRomano" Thanks for sharing the error. That 'from_lookup/not_found' error does indicate that the issue is that the 'from_path' value doesn't point to anything. That does seem to be because you specified just the name and not the path, as discussed. The Metadata.path_lower value is just a string containing the path for…

@"Jens S.1" Thanks for the feedback!

Do you want to transfer this member’s file content to another team member? This option lets you copy all of the files and folders from the deleted member's account to another member's account. That way, your team can keep access to the files from the deleted account, if needed. Do you want to delete content from this…

You can find more information on the process of and options for removing a member from a team on Dropbox in the help center here. This functionality is available via the Dropbox Business API as the /2/team/members/remove endpoint. The options you pointed out are available on that endpoint via the…
