Thanks for letting us know, and apologies for the trouble! We'll check on this again and follow up here once we have an update for you.

Yes, you can use the /2/team/members/remove Dropbox Business API endpoint to delete an account and free up a license: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-members-remove By the way, that's a link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official…

The data transport limit only applies to Business plans, not individual plans. That means that individual plans, i.e., Basic, Plus, and Professional, do not have a monthly upload call limit. Hope this helps! 

You can use CopyBatchV2Async to copy files and/or folders. Note that this copies the item itself, e.g., the entire folder including the folder itself, not only the folder's contents. The 'ToPath' should be the desired path of the copied item itself, not an existing folder. E.g., if you want to make a copy of an existing…

All Dropbox API calls occur over standard HTTPS connections (specifically, currently using TLS v1.0, v1.1, or v1.2) initiated from the client sent to the Dropbox API servers, so that would just be destination port 443. That is the same regardless of geographic location and can't be changed. You can find the official list…

Dropbox offers 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. Dropbox doesn't offer an official SDK for Dropbox API v2 for PHP/Laravel in particular, but you…

That's correct, unfortunately there currently isn't a way to share access to the app's settings page with other users, or have an app owned by the team itself, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. That being the case, creating an account explicitly for…

I see, thanks for clarifying. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to upload multiple files in one call, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. That being the case, you will need to loop through your files and call filesUpload once per file. Apologies I…

The filesUpload method is the right way to upload multiple files, by calling it once per file. Can you elaborate on what exactly isn't working for you so we can provide some more specific guidance? For instance, is some part of your code giving you an unexpected error? Please share any error or unexpected output you're…

Using /2/sharing/list_folder_members[/continue] is the correct way to look up the owner of a shared folder. The member who owns the shared folder, if any, would be identified by the "access_type" value being "owner" (in place of "editor" in your sample). In your output, there isn't an owner listed though. This, along with…

@"zainulabideen" No, unfortunately I don't have an update here. This capability has not been added to the API.

If you are a user using a third party app and are seeing this message, please contact the developer of the third party app for help. If you are the developer of this app, please refer to the documentation here.

We can't offer support with CodeIgniter itself, as that's made by a third party, but we'll be happy to help with any questions or issues you have regarding the Dropbox API. Apps should implement the OAuth app authorization flow to allow users to grant the app access to their account. If you haven't already done so,…

I'm glad to hear you got this sorted out. Yes, that appears to be a mistake in the first code block there. Apologies for the confusion. I'll ask the team to fix that up. And that's correct, unfortunately we don't have a way to close the browser tab itself. 

@"JustinWilson" Thanks for the note. I've added your vote to the request, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be plans to work on this.

For items in the team space you can still use /2/files/get_metadata to get the metadata, such as the `path_lower`. For instance, that may look like: curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_metadata \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin: <ADMIN_ID>" \ --header…

Thanks, that's helpful. First, for reference, the "contextual" path is the "fully qualified path relative to event's context". In the first case, the event's context is a 'team_member', so your app has access to the information about the full path in that particular team member's account. In the second case however, the…

When uploading file data to the Dropbox API, such as via /2/files/upload, the file data should be supplied in the request body, with a Content-Type of "application/octet-stream"(or the CORS workaround as seen in the output you shared, if needed). The Dropbox API does not support "multipart/form-data" . Exactly what HTTPS…

Thanks for the report. Can you use `DbxException.getRequestId` to get the request IDs for a few of these server errors and share the IDs here? That should help us track this down. Thanks in advance!

When using `OAuthResponseType.Token`, a redirect URI is required, as a security feature of OAuth 2. It's optional for `OAuthResponseType.Code` though, in which case the user can manually copy/paste the authorization code from the web site into the app. (Using a redirect URI streamlines the process by avoiding the need to…

Thanks for following up and clarifying! I'm glad Taylor was able to help. Yes, to reconstruct the folder hiearachy like that, you'll want to split the path on "/". For reference, whenever you're going to display the path to the user, you should use the "path_display" value. Whenever you're using the path to make another…

To use the team member file access feature to access arbitrary team content, even if you don't yet know who is a member of the folder, you should use "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin" instead of "Dropbox-API-Select-User". If supply any team admin's ID as "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin", you'll be able to…

@"hashken" This is a bug on our side unfortunately. It's open with engineering, but I don't have a timeline for a fix right now.

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: https://www.dropbox.com/developers For example, for uploading files, you can use the…

Thanks for the report. If I understand your message correctly though, this is the expected behavior, but please let me know if I've misunderstood or misread your message. The account that "owns" an API app (and correspondingly owns its app key and secret), that is, the account that registered that API app, is not…

If the path values aren't set, that means that "the file or folder is not mounted". There are a few ways that can happen: * if you're looking at the contents of a shared folder that is itself not mounted * if you're making an API call without an explicit "root", so the contents don't have anywhere to be "mounted" to For…

I don't believe we have any samples or resources for VBA in particular unfortunately. If you can't use one of the official SDKs (or a third party library), you'll need to use the HTTPS API directly. You can find the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints here:…

It looks like you're experiencing an issue with a third party application built by a third party developer. Please reach out to that third party developer for help with the app.

Thanks for following up. I can't find any reason that GetCurrentAccountAsync would somehow open a browser itself. The code for it doesn't have anything to that effect, and it's not doing it in my testing. Can you perhaps make and share a small sample project that reproduces this issue so we can investigate it here?
