No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this.

Did you make any changes to your app's configuration on the App Console recently, perhaps accidentally? Specifically, please check that your have "Allow implicit grant" set to "Allow" on the app's page on the App Console, since you do need that for the app authorization flow used by the Java SDK. If it's set to "Disallow",…

I see, thanks for clarifying that screenshot. I'm afraid I don't have a solution to offer, but I'm sending this along as feedback to the team.

The ShareFolderAsync method returns a ShareFolderLaunch. Per the ShareFolderAsync documentation, if a ShareFolderLaunch.AsyncJobId is returned, you need to periodically call CheckShareJobStatusAsync to see when the job (i.e., sharing the folder) is done. Once you get ShareFolderJobStatus.Complete…

The Dropbox API now offers the ability to get a temporary upload link so that you can have clients upload to an account without an access token for the account. You can find more information in this blog post: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2019/01/new-file-upload-link-api/

@"Info V.1" That's correct, on the API, this determines whether or the events in the 'file_operations' event category are returned. You can find some more information in the /2/team_log/get_events documentation.

Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you already tracked down how to reproduce this. I don't believe this is a new behavior; it's just appears to be not as common. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to change how the file ID system works. You can essentially "resolve" these file IDs though, by calling the API with them.…

If you want to share folders with other members programmatically but handle the communication yourself, you can do so. You will still need to call AddFolderMemberAsync; otherwise they won't have access to the folder. To do so, you would want to: * Share the folder initially using ShareFolderAsync (this only needs to be…

I'm afraid I don't know what may be causing this. I tried looking for other reports, but I didn't find anything that quite matches this exactly. It looks like this could be due to a permissions issue though; can you try running as administrator to see if that makes any difference? Alternatively, can you compare the…

Thanks! That's helpful. Did you make any changes to your app's configuration on the App Console recently, perhaps accidentally? Specifically, please check that your have "Allow implicit grant" set to "Allow" on the app's page on the App Console, since you do need that for the app authorization flow used by the Java SDK. If…

The two URLs you posted are the same. Did you mean to ask about something else? In any case, I can't offer guidance on setting up Jira itself, but based on the reference to "request token" in the first screenshot, it looks like it's meant for OAuth 1. The current version of the Dropbox API doesn't support OAuth 1, however,…

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 full and exact text of the error/any unexpected output; a screenshot is ok if that's easier * the steps to reproduce the proble, including the relevant code snippet(s) that are failing

Thanks for your patience while I checked on this for you. While file IDs uniquely identify files, i.e., every file ID identifies a file, and no two files share a file ID, it is possible for two different file IDs to essentially "point" to a single file. It looks like that's what's happening here. Because of the sharing,…

The `System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(authorizeUri.ToString());` line is supposed to build the OAuth app authorization URL (i.e., https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize..., via `authorizeUri.ToString()`), and then have the system open it in the system web browser, whatever that may be (i.e., via…

The API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files. However, it is technically possible to connect to just one account, as you've shown here. We generally don't recommend doing so, for various technical and security reasons. For instance,…

Yes, if you would like to request API support privately, you can do so here.

Team folders are for sharing content with one's team. You can find more information on team folders in the help center here. Shared folders can be used to share folders with arbitrary users. You can find more information on shared folders in the help center here.

listing namespace will include all namespaces (not recursive but top-level) on both types (Team space and non-team space) of accounts? Yes, /2/team/namespaces/list[/continue] will list all namespaces for a team, whether or not the team uses the team space configuration. If team folders and shared folders both have a…

Thanks for the post. I'll check on this for you and follow up here when I have some information for you.

Does the namespaces_list returns entries for all folders or just the top-level folders only. The /2/team/namespaces/list[/continue] endpoints return a list of all of the "namespaces". This will not be a complete list of all folders. Namespaces include team folders, shared folders, team members' home folders, and team…

@"yasirjaseem" We recommend using the official Dropbox .NET SDK. There's an example of downloading files here. If something isn't working as expected for you, open a new thread with details.

If you use the Dropbox API, the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings and /2/files/get_temporary_link endpoints can be used to retrieve links equivalent to "preview" or "direct" links from the Chooser, respectively.

I see, thanks for the feedback! For the current issue, since you modified the code, please revert to the original SimpleTest code (or switch to a fresh copy). You should only have to add your app key; no other code changes are necessary for that sample. It sounds like the app is hanging waiting on the user to come back to…

(For anyone else interested, the earlier thread can be found here.) Do I list this namespaces and use the namespace id as path to traverse each folder? Yes, specifically, it sounds like you're referring to doing this by listing all namespaces across the team using /2/team/namespaces/list[/continue], which is a good way to…

The Dropbox Chooser isn't officially supported in Angular unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. If you wanted to replicate the functionality using the Dropbox API, you could do so using the following endpoints (or corresponding methods in an SDK/library), but it would be substantially more work: *…

@"blizzrdof77" No, unfortunately I don't have any news on this request.

No, Dropbox doesn't offer an API for controlling which files get synced to the connected desktop client(s), but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

Thanks for the information. You shouldn't get that particular exception for a mismatch with the registered OAuth 2 redirect URIs for your app, so it must be something else, such as a potential port issue as you mentioned. If you attempt to use a redirect URI that isn't registered for your app, you'd see an error on the…

When you make a Dropbox API call like this and supply a path, you should supply the path to the remote file on Dropbox, relative to the root of the Dropbox account. In the code you shared here, you're instead sharing a path to the local file, which isn't a valid path for the Dropbox API. That is, based on the sample you…
