Thanks for the report! We're looking into it. As a workaround, please try setting an unlimited timeout when constructing your Dropbox client, like this: dropbox.Dropbox(ACCESS_TOKEN, timeout=None) Please let me know if that does or doesn't help.

@"JonnyO" Apologies, I'm afraid I don't quite follow. Is there something that still isn't working? If please let us know exactly how we can reproduce the issue so we can investigate. Thanks!

Thanks for the report! We're looking into it. By the way, I redacted it from your post, but for the sake of security, you should disable that access token. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirely, if the access token is for your account, here: https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps Or, you can disable…

I've sent this along as a feature request, but to be clear, I can't promise if or when this might be implemented. I'm currently not aware of any plans to add this.

Webhooks would help by letting you know that something has changed, but they doesn't offer any specific information. You would still need to call /2/files/list_folder[/continue] to get the actual information.

@"JonnyO" Can you share the details for what's currently not working for you? Thanks in advance!

I just dug up this old post where I wrote an example of using MemberSelector and AddMember to specify a member to add via an email address: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/How-we-share-folder-and-file-via-dropbox-api/m-p/194299/highlight/true#M8768 It also shows how to check the shared folder job,…

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this exactly with the Dropbox API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. The closest thing would be to process all of the entries from /2/files/list_folder[/continue] with path="" and recursive=true, and keep track of the server_modified values manually, but that would be more…

The file ID isn't included in DeletedMetadata, so you should make sure to store the previous metadata, and check the file ID of the file that was previously at that path specified by the DeletedMetadata.

No, the Dropbox API doesn't support that grant type, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for the report! We're looking into it.

Thanks for the report! We'll check on this and follow up here.

No, there isn't an option for controlling this (either for accessing the link initially, or opening it after the fact), but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

I don't have an update on this yet. I'll follow up here once I do.

No, the API doesn't offer a way to find these folders. Note that these are local folders though, for the Dropbox desktop client, and don't exist on the server. The Dropbox API is server-based. The closest thing is the info.json file for finding the Dropbox folder itself, documented here:…

The /2/files/list_folder[/continue] interface is paginated, and you're not guaranteed to get all of the results on the first page. You need to check the `has_more` value in the response, and call back to /2/files/list_folder/continue, if it's true. Keep calling back to retrieve all of the pages until `has_more` is false in…

Thanks for sharing that grokify! To highlight one important note from grokify's post, this only works if you have access to the account for the owner of the file request. I.e., this method is for uploading to the same folder that the file request happens to also be configured for (just like you can upload to any folder if…

The /2/files/download endpoint works the same way for all file types, in that it will just return the full file data it has for the requested file, in the HTTP response body. In these samples you're just printing out the raw data as text, but generally you'd want to open them in the relevant viewers, e.g., a PDF reader for…

For accessing the Dropbox API from ASP.NET, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet There are some example projects here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/tree/master/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Examples
