That is the file data there as well, but likewise I can't provide support for Postman. In JavaScript/AngularJS, you may want to refer to the documentation for interacting with files/data for providing a download. For instance, here's how one of our samples apps for JavaScript using the official Dropbox JavaScript SDK…

To create shared links in the first place, you should use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings

The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to programmatically upload to file requests, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. You can use the Dropbox API to upload directly to a folder though, as long as your app is authorized to access the account. To upload programmatically, you can use /2/files/upload:…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51823329/how-to-get-the-userid-for-dropbox-http-file-dowload ] First, to clarify, note that the string in shared links like this, e.g., "r3p1au45g3rylvs" is not a user ID. It is a randomly generated string only used in the shared link. If you want to get…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51821074/http-dropbox-download-api-response-angularjs ] That value you get back is the file data itself. (E.g., in your StackOverflow post, you can see the "PDF" file header.) Exactly what you do with that is up to you. I can only provide help with the…

Can you confirm if you've "linked" or "connected" or "authorized" the app to your account? Webhook notifications will only be sent for events in accounts that are connected to the account. When you create a Dropbox API app as a developer, it is not automatically connected to your account as if you were an end-user of the…

This 'not_found' error indicates that there is nothing at the specified path (your 'path' variable in this case) in the connected account: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/LookupError.html#NOT_FOUND You should fix your path value to specify the correct path string for the…

No, there isn't a way to configure it like that. We'll consider that a feature request as well. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, the Chooser uses a different mechanism than the Dropbox API.

The app key and secret identify your app, and are used during the OAuth app authorization flow. They do not themselves offer access to any user data. A leaked app key/secret pair would allow someone to: - impersonate your app (e.g., initiate the OAuth app authorization flow for your app). The potential here is limited…

The 'tokenRevoke' method will only revoke a specific access token. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to fully unlink an app (e.g., the way the user can on https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps ), but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for your patience while we investigate this. We're still working on tracking down exactly where/how this breaks down. We have determined though that this is not actually about the files themselves, but rather about how they're being specified. I.e., this only occurs when specifying the files via file ID, so as a…

There isn't a particular redirect URI I can share; the redirect URI is something you would choose and define in your app. We can't officially support Xamarin, but we recommend using one of the official Dropbox SDKs if possible. There's an old thread here that may be helpful for doing this in Xamarin though:…

1. No, unfortunately there isn't a way to filter by path across all members, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 2. Also no, it's not possible to filter to a specific event type, but we'll consider this a feature request as well.

No, unfortunately there isn't a programmatic way to re-enable webhooks, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

The installation method isn't what I was referring to, but o clarify, there are three distinct methods for installing the library: * CocoaPods * Carthage * Manually add subproject You can and should only use one of them. Each one is sufficient for installing the library. Within each method, all of the steps are required,…

It looks like you have the right basic idea, but there are a few things to note: - You have 'none' instead of 'None'. - You can filter by category, which in this case would be 'dropbox.team_log.EventCategory.file_operations'. - You can filter by time, which can be good as without a time filter you may have to parse through…

It sounds like you're currently using the OAuth 2 "code" flow without a redirect URI, so that the user needs to copy and paste the authorization code into your app to complete the app authorization flow. It is possible to streamline this by using a "redirect URI", so that the authorization code (or access token, for the…

@"rac2" Can you elabortate on what exactly isn't working as expected? E.g., the following would be helpful: - the steps to reproduce the problem - the full text of any unexpected error or output - the relevant code snippet(s) Thanks in advance! 

Can you confirm that you followed all of the instructions under "Configure your project" and "Handling the authorization flow"? https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox#configure-your-project Those instructions cover the necessary steps for implementing the app authorization flow, so that you can retrieve a client using…

I believe the app group was used as a convenient way to cache thumbnails for use across the iOS/watchOS versions of the app, after being retrieved from Dropbox, e.g., here: https://github.com/dropbox/PhotoWatch/blob/48df3b99b47f4a883703f7a4cd9512eb2a5c0cb2/PhotoWatch/PhotoViewController.swift#L25 It's just an example app…

That's correct. You can find the documentation for that here: https://dropbox.github.io/SwiftyDropbox/api-docs/latest/Classes/UsersRoutes.html#/s:FC13SwiftyDropbox11UsersRoutes17getCurrentAccountFT_GCS_10RpcRequestCCS_5Users21FullAccountSerializerCS_14VoidSerializer_

It sounds like this question is more about how to configure nginx than about the Dropbox API itself, so I'm afraid I can't be of help. Perhaps someone else here can offer some help, but otherwise you may be better served for this question on an nginx forum, or a general question site like StackOverflow.

The Dropbox API unfortunately does not offer thumbnail links, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. It only returns the thumbnail data directly in the /2/files/get_thumbnail response, as you mentioned, so you'll need to download and use that.

@"Rishi" Since the sample application works, it sounds like there's something about how your app is set up that is causing this. So that we can reproduce it and look into it, can you make and share a test project that shows this issue? Thanks in advance! 

@"JonnyO" It looks like that first link was disabled. If you try it with dl=0, you get a 404 error page indicating the file is gone or the link was removed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/87rw1j6ps309zms/gdpr-logic.js?dl=0

The UserFileMembershipInfo object is used in SharedFileMembers, which is returned by sharing_list_file_members. That only applies to specific files that have been shared individually, not to files inside shared folders. That being the case, it sounds like this isn't what you're looking for in your scenario. There isn't an…

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 specific steps to reproduce the issue - the relevant code snippet(s) - the full text of the error/any output
