@"DavidBourke" Thanks for the feedback. To clarify, it is possible to disable comments in the Dropbox product. You can find information on doing so here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/commenting This thread is in the "API Support" forum, and is specifically requesting a way to do programmatically, via the API.

While this works, note that it isn't officially documented with the API, so it may change and stop working in the future. I'll send this along as a feature request for an officially supported way to retrieve the URL via the API.

The filesDeleteBatch method does not necessarilly immediately delete the requested files. It can create and return the ID for an asynchronous job. You should use the filesDeleteBatchCheck method, supplying the async job ID you received from filesDeleteBatch, to check on the job's status. If the job failed, it will indicate…

Thanks! That's helpful. We're looking into it.

This should be fixed as of v4.0.9. Please update and let us know if you're still seeing any issues.

I believe you should just supply the buffer directly, so all you need to do is: const base64File = this.webcam.getScreenshot() const dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken: this.state.dropboxToken }) const i = base64File.indexOf('base64,') const buffer = Buffer.from(base64File.slice(i + 7), 'base64') const name = 'test.png'…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51434434/dropbox-api-filesgetthumbnailbatch-returns-successful-but-no-thumbnails-return ] Thanks for the report! You don't appear to be doing anything wrong. The 'thumbnail' can be empty, e.g., if the corresponding file is empty. That doesn't seem to be the…

The ability to create a blob URL is something native to browsers. You're writing in C#/.NET, outside of a browser, so this will work very differently. Exactly how you do something like that will also depend on your scenario. For example, since you're building a web app, you can use your web framework to make the data…

It sounds like your question is about using Crashlytics, but this forum is only about using the Dropbox API, so I'm afraid we can't offer help with this. You may be better served on a Crashlytics forum or support channel, or other general iOS programming forum.

@"kamaldileep42" There are a number of ways to do this. Specifying the path itself, e.g., "/test/version1" as you mentioned, is one way, but, by default, that will only enable you to access shared folders inside your own team member folder. For more information on how this works, and documentation on how to access shared…

The DownloadZipAsync method will return the zip data directly to your app. It does not itself return a link to the data. You can have your app do whatever you want with it (e.g., serve it back to the user, save it locally, etc.). You can find an example of accessing the data here:…

Yes, you can invite members to shared folders programmatically using /2/sharing/add_folder_member: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-add_folder_member Note that this does not automatically add the shared folder to their accounts though. They would need to accept the invitation…

Can you print out the response body? It should contain a more useful error message.

It sounds like you're not formatting this request properly. For reference, you can find the documentation for it here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-token There's also a sample in this old blog post that may be helpful:…

Once you retrieve an access token, you can store and re-use it for future calls. While you can revoke access tokens on demand, they don't expire on their own. To list the contents of folders, you should use /2/files/list_folder[/continue]:…

@"aesanne" You can find information on each of the errors in the documentation here. The 'not_found' error means "There is nothing at the given path". You should check the 'path' value you're supplying to the call to make sure you're supplying a valid one. One good way to check what is in the account is to call…

Apologies for the delay! Yes, this should be fixed in the latest release. Let us know if you're still seeing any issues.

That's correct, the API doesn't offer access to transcoded or HLS streams, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. The 'raw=1' shared link URL will return the original file data.

@"ajwaxman" That's a preview/alpha endpoint, not meant for general use or for use in production code, as it's subject to change or removal without warning.

The implementation details of the Dropbox web site are subject to change without notice, and may not always use the standard public Dropbox API. The /upload_web_file_block endpoint is not part of the public API, so I don't have any documentation to share for that. It's also not possible to configure the implementation of…

This should be fixed now. Let me know if you're still seeing any issues.

Yes, you can use the OAuth app authorization flow to get an access token in a web app. I recommend reading the OAuth guide and the authorization documentation for information on how this works.

I can't speak to why any particular request has or hasn't been implemented. I've sent this request along to the team, but I don't have an update on it. I'll follow up here if/when I do.

Exactly how you structure this is up to you, but you may wish to just have each instance of your app implement the OAuth app authorization flow itself. Having more than one access token per app-user pair is allowed, so you can just have each instance get and store its own access token. If you do want them to share an…

Nothing looks clearly wrong in your code. I also just tried this and can't reproduce the issue. Are you still seeing this? If so, is there anything on your network connection, e.g., firewall, proxy, etc. that may be interfering?

I can't speak to why any particular request has or hasn't been implemented. I've sent this request along to the team, but I don't have an update on it. I'll follow up here if/when I do.

Para cargar archivos desde .NET, recomendamos usar el Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK oficial: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet No tenemos muestras escritas en VB, pero hay algunas muestras escritas en C# que puede consultar y trabajar desde:…

No, this has not been changed with the latest release.

These links do expire after four hours. If you attempt to access an expired link, it will fail. To be clear though, are you saying the returned link fails less than four hours after it was retrieved? In general though, if you need to access file data, you should use /2/files/download. It returns the image data directly:…

The Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer a better way to do this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
