The link you shared is for the Java SDK, which is separate from the .NET SDK. Progress listeners have not be implemented in the .NET SDK. You can find the request for this, as well as more information, including a manual workaround, here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/issues/62 

Thanks for following up. The media information is a "best effort" process, so we can't guarantee that the system will be able to process every file. It sounds like there is something about this file in particular that is preventing the system from processing it properly. I know you mentioned you can't share a URL of it…

We'll need to investigate this specifically. Please open an API ticket with the following information for a case where you've seen this so we can work on tracking this down: - the app key - the webhook URI - the user ID - the timestamp of the restoration Thanks in advance! 

@"ambs" To download an entire folder as a zip, you can use downloadZip. That works the same way as the other download methods, such as the download example here.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53445693/alternative-async-await-for-dropboxclient-files-downloadasync ] I see you also posted this on StackOverflow. The comment the user "GSerg" posted there is correct. If you can't or don't want to use the Async methods, you can use the Begin/End methods…

@"NaviDevR" I can't speak to why any particular feature was or wasn't implemented. I've added your vote to this feaure request though.

This is open with the team, but I can't offer a timeline unfortunately. I'll follow up here once I have an update.

Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like this happens when setting the 'leaveACopy' parameter to true. We'll look into it, but for now, you can work around this by setting that to 'false'.

That's the correct method for removing a member from a shared folder. Is it not working for you? Please share whatever unexpected error or output you get from it. Also, can you clarify if you're trying to remove them from a shared folder, or a shared folder in a team folder, or a team folder itself?

Yes, the API unfortunately doesn't offer a way to append directly (I'll send this along as a feature request though), so you'd need to download and upload the edited content. First, to download the existing file, you would use /2/files/download. After you make your modifications locally, you would then upload the new…

That's the expected behavior. If the operation was successful, the call will return a 200 status code indicating success, but no data in the response body (that's what "RETURNS No return values." in the documentation is referring to) since there's no additional information to return.

I'm glad to hear you got this working. I've sent this along as a feature request for a way to restrict access to specified paths only. Thanks!

@"LiamGM" Please open a new thread with more details on the issue you're seeing so we can take a look.

You can set the access level in the AddMember object like this: AccessLevel.Editor.Instance (Or AccessLevel.Viewer.Instance, etc.)

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53207041/login-dropbox-account-in-chromium-browser-returns-the-blank-url-while-generating ] Chromium 37 is very old now, and is unfortunately not supported by the Dropbox web site anymore, so I'm afraid we can't offer help with that. We also officially don't…

Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to get the dropbox.com URL for any particular file, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

If the access token was invalid or revoked, that would have resulted in a 401 error. Anyway, I'm glad to hear this is working now. If it happens again, please check the response body and let me know.

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 of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any - the full text of the error/any output - the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s)

Changing the location where you use an access token shouldn't result in a 409 error. Can you print out the response body for the failed API call? It should contain a more useful error message.

I'm not sure I follow. You originally said it crashes on that method, but now you've said it actually returns null. Neither is supposed to happen, but please elaborate on exactly what you are seeing. You may want to add some extra logging, or step through with a debugger. (Is list actually null, or is list.Entries empty…

Dropbox uses OAuth 2 to handle app authorization. You can find more information on how the OAuth flow works in the OAuth guide, and you can find the documentation for our OAuth 2 endpoints here. Note that Dropbox only uses access tokens, not refresh tokens. The state parameter is: "Up to 500 bytes of arbitrary data that…

Dropbox doesn't offer an FTP interface, but it does offer an API you can use for transferring files, among other operations. It does offer typical upload and download functionality, but it sounds like that wouldn't be ideal for your scenario. One possible alternative, if you can get Internet-accessible links to the files…

Dropbox doesn't offer an API for retrieving todos/tasks unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

That's correct, the search in the Dropbox Chooser doesn't do full text search, and there isn't an option to enable that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53110650/dropbox-permission-exception-thrown-when-moving-deleting ] Is that the actual request body, or did you modify it when posting it here? You seem to have the same value in both the "from_path" and "to_path" parameters, which should produce a different…

No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to get a PDF version of a .xls file, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. That being the case, you'd need to download the original .xls file data (using the download method you mentioned, which always returns the raw data) and convert that to PDF in your app's code.

What error message and stack trace are you getting when it crashes on ListFolderAsync?

Shared links only provide view/download access. You can't upload to them.

@"chrisgch" I'm afraid the Android 4.3 system browser (which seems to be based on Webkit 534.30) isn't officially supported either, given how old it is. I recommend having your users upgrade to a more recent version.

@"ElsayedGamal" It sounds like you want to programmatically upload files to your Dropbox account. To do so, you should use the Dropbox API. I see from the code you shared that you already found the correct API endpoint, /2/files/upload, for doing so. (We also have an official .NET SDK that makes this easier, if you can use…
