Dropbox currently offers short-lived access tokens, which expire after a few hours, and refresh tokens, which don't expire. If you need continuous access without repeated manual interaction, you'll need to request "offline" access in order to get a refresh token. The refresh token can be used to programmatically retrieve…

This should indicate that the value you're sending in withPathRoot, in this case the teamNamespace variable value, is incorrect for the connected account. Note that the root for an account can change, e.g., due to team changes, so the app will need to be able to catch and handle this error. The error contains the current…

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to retrieve the OCR'd text like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

@"Здравко" Thanks for the sample! We'll look into it.

@"Здравко" The URL to a particular file, with the file in the path of the URL, should point to the file in particular, and support downloading just that file in particular when using dl=1. I tried that and it did work for me. Note though that it's possible to get a different URL when just viewing a particular file from its…

@"Здравко" Thanks for the note. Just to make sure I'm reproducing the same thing you are, can you clarify what happens in your testing when you say "try download the content of a file (directly or indirectly pointed there). What is going on?"? What result do you get? For reference, when I try that currently, I get an…

Thanks for the report! While the Embedder isn't part of what we call the "API", it is a developer tool so I've moved it to the Developers section. Anyway, this is a known issue with using this type of link in the Embedder. We're looking into it and I'll follow up here once I have an update.

@"sarshavs" Yes, /2/team_log/get_events is supported for teams with the team space configuration. If you're interested in event types from the "file_operations" category though, note that those are only available to some Business plans, per the documentation: Note that the file_operations category and & analogous paper…

@"DCProducer" No, I don't have an update on this feature request for the Dropbox API. Note that this thread is regarding some functionality for the Dropbox API for use by developers. It's possible someone has already developed an app as a solution for this scenario, but unfortunately I can't offer guidance on third party…

@"md22" The Dropbox API is made by the company Dropbox. The Dropbox API does not currently have the functionality requested here, but I've sent this along to the relevant team in the company as a feature request. I can't promise if/when that functionality would be implemented and released, but I'll follow up here if/when I…

@"md22" No, the Dropbox API does not offer a way to make a copy of the pending upload session data like that.

@"sarshavs" wrote:Both your suggestions using business api so for non business i would need to use something different. Note that the /2/files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints can be used by any type of account, Business or not. @"sarshavs" wrote:Another question - all the non business accounts has upgraded to be business…

@"Здравко" Thanks for writing this up! I can't make any promises myself, but I'll send this along to the team.

@"cantonfoshan" As Здравко noted, this seems to be working, so additional details would be helpful. I see you did also open a support ticket with some details for this though, so we'll look into it and follow up with you there.

The Dropbox API search functionality does not support searching by a wildcard like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. I can't speak to if/why that query might have done what you wanted before, but this was not officially supported or documented.

1) The API response is correct. In a non-updated team space configuration, as far as how the API works, the folders in the team space are technically shared folders not team folders. 2) No, unfortunately the API doesn't offer a way to filter out the member folders, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78287104/how-to-request-a-synchronization-of-a-file-from-files-app ] Thanks for the post. I can't offer help with this directly since it's not part of the Dropbox API/SDK, but if you write in to developer support we can try to get you to the right department…

@"sarshavs" As Здравко pointed out, if you use /2/files/list_folder/get_latest_cursor, the returned cursor will only allow you to get entries from after the point in time when you made that call, up until when you make the /2/files/list_folder/continue call. If you instead want to get all entries, you would need to start…

It looks like this is a duplicate, so I'll close this thread in favor of your other one.

The Dropbox API still does not offer the ability to make a new version of a file by just appending data to an existing file. The Dropbox API upload session functionality does offer the ability to upload files by sending multiple requests, each with just a portion of the total data, but that still requires the app to upload…

Yes, if the official Dropbox Android app is installed and you're using the official Dropbox SDK in your app, the Dropbox app authorization flow will be processed through the official Dropbox Android app. If the official Dropbox Android app is not installed, the browser will be used instead.

@"rodri042" No, the Dropbox API does not offer a way to do so.

You can see what the result/error means by referring to the documentation, and clicking through the nested types as needed. For instance, from the /2/files/move_batch_v2 documentation, this 'failure/relocation_error/to/conflict/folder' for the entry in the complete.entries means that the entry was not moved because there's…

To download a file using the JavaScript SDK, you would use the filesDownload method. There's an example of using a content download method like this in TypeScript with this SDK here. That example happens to use sharingGetSharedLinkFile instead of filesDownload, but they work the same way to access the returned data; you…

By default, API calls to the Dropbox API operate in the "member folder" of the connected account ("Student", in your case), not the "team space". That means that by default, the contents of the team space will not be found. You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead though, in order to interact with…

I can't offer insight on what your ISP(s) may or may not be doing, but if you have any questions regarding that you may want to reach out to them. In any case, there would be other factors out of our control impacting the actual connection speed you see in practice anyway. I also notice that in the log you shared the…

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately I can neither look up nor modify your connection speed based on the file IDs (or other identifiers) though.

The Dropbox API does have a general rate limiting system that applies to all account types, but we don't have specific rate numbers documented for that, and we cannot increase the limits for any particular app, user, or team. Apps should be written to handle these rate limit responses automatically. In any case that you…

The 'limit' parameter is used to set an approximate maximum number of entries to return per result page, per the documentation you mentioned. Due to various implementation details, the server may not return that many in every result, and so the count is not expected to necessarily be the same in every result.

That include_mounted_folders documentation indicates that it controls whether or not to include entries under the mounted folders. So, the mounted folder (such as a shared folder) itself will still be listed, but the contents of that shared folder should not. If that's not what you're seeing, feel free to share the code…
