@"RBCunningham" Thank you for the feedback!

The 'restricted_content' error is expected when attempting to access files that have been restricted, e.g., due to copyright claims, per the documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download If you believe the files have been incorrectly flagged, please report them to support…

@"ampinwatec" We don't offer a way to apply for access to use the web endpoints programmatically. 

@"ampinwatec" I've sent your feedback along to the team, but I can't promise if or when it would be implemented unfortunately. Also, accessing the Dropbox web site programmatically like that would be against the terms, and also subject to change/breaking without notice.

To use the Dropbox API from Objective-C, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 Objective-C SDK. For example, to list files, you would use listFolder and listFolderContinue, as shown here. To download files, you would use any of the download methods as shown here.

@"ampinwatec" That's part of the web product itself and not available on the public API unfortunately. This feature request is open with the team but I don't have an update on it.

Please open a ticket for this and we can help configure this properly: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact

There isn't an efficient way to do this unfortunately, but you can accomplish this by using /2/file/search for each user. The basic outline would look like this: * Register an app for the "team member file access" permission and use the "Generate" button to get an access token for your team, if you don't already have one.…

Using sharing/get_shared_link_file, with the 'url' and 'path' parameters, is the right way to get the file data for a file in a folder when you have the shared link for the folder. (And likewise, sharing/get_shared_link_metadata for the file metadata.) Are you using an app registered for the "app folder" permission to make…

No, Dropbox does not offer a web hosting service.

Yes, deleting the app will also prevent the access token from working.

Yes, an access token enables access to an account via the Dropbox API to the extent allowed by the app's permission. For this reason, you should never share or expose an access token for your own account to others users. Users should only ever have access to their own access token(s). Given that your access token has been…

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it. I don't have a workaround to offer unfortunately though.

When you register an app, you get an app key and secret that identify your app. You additionally can "Generate" an access token, which enables access to your own account. While the app key (and sometimes the secret) may be used in your app, you generally shouldn't embed your own access token in your app itself. You should…

Thanks! I don't see an issue in that code, so please open a ticket and share the relevant account IDs so we can check on these: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact 

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52523055/how-to-display-an-image-from-dropbox-to-mvc-razor-view ] Using the GetThumbnailAsync method is the right way to get the thumbnail data for an image file. That works the same way as the DownloadAsync method, for which there is an example here:…

You don't need to enable anything on our side to be able to reach the Dropbox API servers. The Dropbox API servers are working correctly right now, so based on the error message you shared it sounds like you may be having a network connectivity issue. Is there anything on your network connection, e.g., firewall, proxy,…

As a security feature, OAuth 2 redirect URIs must be pre-registered exactly. Wildcards and dynamic registration are not supported. Instead, you can use the 'state' parameter to store variable information and receive it back when the user returns to your app:…

Thanks for trying that, and my apologies for the trouble. I'll follow up here when I have any updates on this issue.

@"Gamabit" No, unfortunately I don't have any news on this yet.

It sounds like everything you're looking for is possible. One note though: if by "group" you do mean a Business team group, you don't need to explicitly accept that group in the account after it's added. You may be thinking of shared folders, which you do need to explicitly add. So, to be specific: * to add a team member…

Yes, this is likely related to the number of files, but possibly also the amount of file activity. (So, yes, as the number of files goes to infinity, the working limit would go down.)

Each endpoint has a curl example in the documentation (in the links in my previous post). I recommend reviewing those and translating them for your platform as necessary. The API v2 Explorer may also be useful in this regard: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/ The SDKs each also have some examples included.

You do not need a 'parent_shared_folder_id' in order to share a folder. You can share a non-shared folder using /2/sharing/share_folder by specifying the 'path' of the folder you want to share: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-share_folder When you get the successful result…

Dropbox does offer the ability to upload files programmatically. You can use /2/files/upload to do so: * https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload Or, for large files, you'll need to use upload sessions: *…

Yes, Dropbox offers an API you can use to programmatically list, upload, and download files, among other operations, such as checking sharing metadata. For example to list any/all files and folders in an account: * https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder *…

Thanks for the report! This can be related to these operations taking a long time due to a large number of files and/or a large amount of file activity in the affected account(s). We'll look into it, but there are a few potential workarounds: 1) Use the 'limit' parameter on files_list_folder:…

@"santosh111" Dropbox does offer an API you can use for programmatically uploading and downloading files. 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, to download files:…

Thanks! To clarify though, I was asking for the name and version of the Dropbox SDK (not iOS version) you're using, if any. E.g., are you using SwiftyDropbox or the Dropbox Objective-C SDK, and if so, what version number do you have installed? Anyway, that clock icon you referred to is actually a Safari icon. That's…

@"gagsbh80" Can you clarify which value you're looking at from the API? Please share the rest of the code you're using to process the result from GetSpaceUsageAsync if possible. Note that there are multiple 'used' values returned in a SpaceUsage, e.g.: * SpaceUsage.Used: the user's usage * TeamSpaceAllocation.Used: the…
