Dropbox does not offer testing accounts like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. You can use any account you register.

You can get the official Dropbox SDKs here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation There is no cost to use them or the Dropbox API itself.

We've released an optimization for this endpoint, so it should now respond quicker. You can try again now, and the `timeout=None` should no longer be necessary. Let me know if you're still running in to any issues. Thanks!

No, the Dropbox API property search doesn't offer a way to restrict the search to a specific path, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

No, sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings does not work the same way. If you call it for a path for which there is already a shared link, it will give a CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError.shared_link_already_exists error. In that case, you can call sharing_list_shared_links with direct_only=True to retrieve the existing…

Using those shared link modifications is probably the best option for this use case. The Dropbox API doesn't offer links to preview versions of images unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

1) The list_folder 'limit' parameter is not a hard limit, per the documentation. It can technically return slightly more (or even less) than the limit. You should always check 'has_more' and call back to list_folder/continue if it's true. 2) You can use the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header for each list_folder call, but is…

This isn't about your plan level (Standard or Advanced) but rather just about whether or not the team is using the new "team space" configuration: https://www.dropbox.com/help/business/team-space-overview If the team is using the team space configuration, you should just create folders in the team space, per my earlier…

It sounds like you're referring to the issue you posted about here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/Paper-delete-for-business-account/m-p/286237#M17555 Only the doc owner can perform that, regardless of plan.

Thanks! We'll look into it.

Can you share a sample URL that results in this error? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your patience here. I tried reproducing this with the same files, and it actually worked for me. Can you try again and let me know if you're still seeing the issue now? It's possible it was just a transient issue. Thanks in advance!

I see you're specifying a particular 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header on the /2/files/list_folder/continue call. Did you also specify that for the /2/files/list_folder call? If not, you will get this 'reset' error. You should make sure you keep the 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' usage consistent for any particular cursor. That is,…

The Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer a way to retrieve all shared links for items inside a specific folder, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. Using sharing_list_shared_links with a specific path only "returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path - direct links to the given path…

Thanks for the report! This looks like a bug on our side. We'll look into it.

No, I do not have an update on this request.

It sounds like your Business team is using the new team space and member folders configuration that some teams have access to. In that case, you shouldn't use the /2/team/team_folder endpoints anymore. You should just operate on files and folders in the team space instead, e.g., using /2/files/create_folder_v2 via the…

@"Wuyi" It looks like you're running in to the issue discussed here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/https-api-dropboxapi-com-2-sharing-share-folder-return-quot-No/m-p/283592/highlight/true#M17364 Please check out that thread for information on how to avoid this. Thanks and apologies for the bother!

Can you share the code/output for these calls so we can take a look? Thanks in advance!

I can't speak to the behavior of AudioContext, but for reference, if you just use an audio tag by itself, this does work: <audio controls src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/sbw9hfghk4pqqiw/Laughter.mp3?dl=1"></audio> For that kind of link, Dropbox will redirect the client, with the resulting URL containing the proper CORS…

Dropbox does not offer an API for interfacing with the desktop client like this. It does offer an API you can use for accessing various parts of Dropbox functionality, such as listing files, creating shared links, or accessing shared file metadata, but that operates by talking directly to the Dropbox servers, not the local…

You can find the documentation for each of the errors for this endpoint here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_preview For example, click on 'path' under 'PreviewError' to see that 'path/not_found' means "There is nothing at the given path", and 'path/not_file' means "We were…

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

There isn't a way to directly trigger or simulate these unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

@"venkateshVenkat" Thanks for following up. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to retrieve a Paper URL like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. (There was also another recent thread about this with some more information.)

That's correct, you need a web server where you can receive the notifications to use webhooks. The webserver doesn't have to use Python though. That's just for the example. It can run whatever you want. If you want a purely client-side solution, you can instead use "longpolling", to get low latency updates. There's an old…

@"Fabito" This is an old thread, so in order to not spam anyone else on it, please open a new thread for your question Also, please let me know exactly what part of your code isn't working as expected, or what you're stuck on, and share the output or error you are getting. You don't seem to actually be accessing the…

I'm not sure I follow your questions exactly. Can you elaborate on what you're looking for when you refer to the "preview link"? Are you looking for the URL of the Paper document that the user can use to access that document?

I recommend using the API v2 Explorer, which can help you build arbitrary API calls, such as using the 'include_property_groups' parameter for /2/files/list_folder: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder You can click "Show Code" to show the built code, including the JSON.

It sounds like you're looking for the "webhooks" feature. You can find more information here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks
