You can use filesDownloadZip (for an entire folder) or filesDownload (for a specific file) if the file/folder is in the account that you're connected to (i.e., for the access token you're using). In that case, the 'id' should just be the 'id' property returned in the relevant FilesFileMetadata or FilesFolderMetadata object…

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say you "do alot of file list"? How many API calls are you making at a time? If you're making a large number of calls, you may be overloading your system or network connection, in which case you should try reducing how many operations you run at a time, as that might be causing…

Based on the stack here, it looks like this is an issue reading data from the network. Do you know if there is any reason the network connection that the app is using may be getting disrupted? E.g., was the connection disconnected or interrupted, or might there be any software, such as a proxy, firewall, anti-virus, etc.,…

I see, thanks for the additional context. It sounds like there is something about that environment that is interfering then. Unfortunately we can't provide support or guidance for working in a plugin like that though. Apologies I can't be of more help in that regard!

@"htbsrvr" Thanks for the note!

Thanks! That should all be fine. I just tried Dropbox Java SDK v3.1.3 loaded by Maven with Java 1.8 in Eclipse on Windows and it worked for me, so there must be something more specific causing this. The account, app registration, and access token likely shouldn't matter here, as it looks like the app is failing to connect…

Yes, Dropbox resellers can create and manage Dropbox accounts. Please sign up here if you're interested in doing so.

Thanks for clarifying. To confirm, no, the public Dropbox API doesn't offer that functionality. You can find all of the functionality it offers in the documentation. 

The Dropbox API does have a general rate limiting system, but we don't have any specific numbers documented, nor are the limits something you can change. Dropbox API is designed to return explicit rate limit responses that API apps can catch to handle programmatically. Note that the third party app/service, in this case…

Thanks for the report! I just tried this and it's working properly for me, so we'll need to investigate this further. Can you let me know: * what operating system and version are you seeing this with? * what version of Java are you seeing this with? * what version of the Dropbox Java SDK are you seeing this with? * how did…

@"harrysfil" I see, thanks for the information. I can't make any promises, but I'll pass this along to the team.

@"harrysfil" Thanks for the feedback! The new Embedder component is meant for use by developers, and we've released it in preview, meaning we may still make changes to it. If you wish, please elaborate on what specifically is giving you trouble so I can pass the details along to the team.

@"harrysfil" Yes, you do need to create an app and register the domain(s) on which you'd want to use the Embedder. You can do so from the web site here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create You can find the documentation for how to use the Embedder here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder

Good news, we've made a preview of a new pre-built component for embedding files and folders available! You can find more information here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Feedback-The-Embedder-Launched-in-Preview/m-p/405265#M1072

@"ADC75011" No, unfortunately I don't have any update on this request.

@"AlexanderKriss" Thanks for the feedback! This request is open with the team, but I can't promise if or when it might be implemented. (I'm not aware of any such in progress as the moment unfortunately.)

Since Zapier, and not Dropbox, does the actual upload to YouTube, Dropbox doesn't have access to the YouTube URL. You may be able to write or configure something to get it from Zapier, but we can't offer support for Zapier as it's not made by Dropbox.

The Dropbox API itself doesn't offer anything like this unfortunately. (It doesn't know about your Zapier integration when you're just uploading to Dropbox via the Dropbox API.) 

If you're getting a status code, such as a 409, that means that you are receiving an HTTPS response. In the case of a 409 from the Dropbox API, there should always be some response body, but it looks like your HTTPS client isn't printing it out. How have you been trying to access it exactly? It looks like this…

@"Adam Terpening" Which link are you referring to? If you mean the "core" links I posted in 2015, those are not available as they referred to the "Core API", a.k.a. "API v1", which has since been retired. The current equivalents would be: *…

Please print out the HTTPS response body for the failing API call. It should contain a more specific error indicating what the issue is.

Thanks for the report. Looking at the two sample URLs you shared, the only differences seem to be the order of the parameters, which shouldn't have any impact, and the presence of the 'from_login' parameter, which also shouldn't affect the functionality itself. It sounds like this is likely related to the browser itself,…

Yes, you can use the Dropbox API to access your entire account. The level of access that an app has depends on what permission it is registered for. It sounds like the OAuth flow you're looking at is for an app with full Dropbox access, but the app you registered yourself only has app folder access. You can find more…

@"TheSMB" I don't have any news to share on this right now. (I may have something to share soon, but as always I can't make any promises. I'll follow up here if/when I do though.)

The Dropbox API does have a general rate limiting system, but I don't believe anything has changed significantly recently. Rate limiting can vary over time though, due to a variety of factors, e.g., other user activity or server issues. In any case, note that not all 429s and 503s indicate explicit rate limiting, but in…

Thanks, in that case, can you let me know: * what version(s) of iOS are you seeing this issue with? I.e., iOS 13, 12, etc. * have you also tried this on a physical device? If so, do you see the issue there as well? * does your app use "scenes"?

Unfortunately, Dropbox doesn't offer an official API for checking the status of the local Dropbox desktop client or files like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

It looks like the Dropbox web site is returning an error for that shared link. Please open this with support so we can look into what is causing this error: https://www.dropbox.com/support/email Thanks!
