Apologies for the trouble. This should be working again now. Please let me know if you're still seeing any issues.

No, unfortunately there isn't a good way to do this when it's not shared, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. We also don't recommend just using /home + the path, as that's subject to change.

No, unfortunately there isn't a way to get thumbnails for files via shared links, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. The closest thing you could do is use GetSharedLinkFileAsync, but that would just return the original file data, not a thumbnail.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50185625/upload-file-to-dropbox-by-terminal-command-line#50185625 ] @"lucasromeiro" I see that you also posted on six other old/unrelated threads about this. We're happy to have you on the forum to engage with us an other developers, but please refrain from…

If you want an entire folder, you can use the new "folderselect:true" option: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser That can only be used with "preview" links, but you can modify those links for raw file access as documented here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download For folders, that will give you…

Thanks! I'll send this along.

It sounds like you already sorted this out, but for anyone else with the same question, the issue here is that the metadata is for a file, but the /2/file_requests/get endpoint is for returning the information about a 'file request'. To get the metadata for a file itself, one would instead use /2/files/get_metadata, or to…

Thanks for the post. I'm glad to hear you were able to get this working again. I'm not sure I follow this totally though, so just to be clear, are you saying there is a bug in the official Dropbox .NET SDK v4.8.0, or does the bug only appear to be in the "Xamarin Forms upgrade, .net and PCL stuff" ?

Thanks for letting me know! I'm glad to hear that's no longer occurring. I'm not aware of any such changes, so it may have just been a transient issue.

To clarify, are you seeing this in the standalone Microsoft Edge browser as well, or only in any web view based on Microsoft Edge? It would be useful to know if you're seeing this in the standalone browser. I just tried it in standalone Microsoft Edge and it loaded much quicker than that for me.

This is a known issue and is open with engineering. You can find more information here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/issues/174

@"eduapp" Your question looks unrelated to this thread, so please start a new thread with the details of the issue you're seeing (e.g., steps and code to reproduce the issue, plus the error message for the crash) so we can take a look and help without spamming anyone else here. Thanks!

@"ismdcf" Thanks for the information. I'll pass it along to the team. While we'll try to maintain compatibility when possible, unfortunately we can't officially promise support in the future. If you are able to update the browser engine used by the web view over time, I recommend doing so. 

From the sample you provided, I see that you're trying to call /2/auth/token/from_oauth1. This endpoint is only meant for use if you already have pre-existing OAuth 1 access tokens (e.g., retrieved in the past for API v1), which you would plug in there. If you are only starting development now, you would not have OAuth 1…

Hi Brian, the Dropbox API itself doesn't offer much in the way of interfacing with the official client unfortunately, so I don't have much to offer on that side, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. You could look into monitoring file events using fsnotify or fanotify or whatever the equivalent is on your system,…

I believe I just commented on your StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50127717/importing-files-from-dropbox-using-api-v2-to-a-serverweb-to-web I don't have full context on your app, but there are several ways to get the file data. If the Chooser works for your use case though, that's recommended as…

Yes, this is still open. I'll check in with the team on this and follow up here if/when I have any news.

Thanks! I'll follow up on that thread.

Is the `root_name_space` in your code referring to a team space? If so, in order to access the team root using the Python SDK and get the relative paths, you'll need to use `with_path_root` like this: dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root(root_name_space)).files_list_folder("") Apologies this isn't better…

Great, thanks for confirming that! [This thread is now closed. If you have a similar or new question, you can ask here]

Thanks for clarifying! The API will always service whatever API calls are made as soon as possible, so if you want to defer operations like this, you should build that in to your app's code. That is, just have your app itself wait to make those API calls, e.g., to create a folder, upload files, etc, until whenever you want…

Would you be able to share a sample so I can make sure I understand the particular scenario you're referring to, and see if there if there's a solution I can offer? A sample link, the code you're running, and the error you're getting would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I'll pass this along as a feature request for that DBFILESCommitInfo in the Objective-C SDK.

It sounds like you are able to retrieve the access token from the API, per your "I can access the token here" comment in your code, and that you're now trying to pass that string between your classes. Unfortunately as that is more about structuring your app and passing data (in this case a string that has the access token)…

Thanks! I'm still not sure I fully understand your exact scenario though. When you refer to the "server", do you mean your own server which is syncing with Dropbox, e.g., via the Dropbox desktop client, or do you mean the Dropbox API servers?

The Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, but we don't have any specific numbers documented. It is only designed to prevent abuse though, and is accordingly relatively generous. Further, if/when the API does rate limit you, it would always return an actual HTTPS response with an explicit error. It wouldn't just…

To list the contents of an account using the Dropbox API, you should use /2/files/list_folder and /2/files/list_folder/continue: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue We don't have…

I'm not sure I understand exactly which scenario you're referring to. Can you elaborate? In any case though, all of the errors that can be returned are listed in the documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_file_metadata The actual response response would be structured…

I'm not sure I understand exactly what functionality you're looking for. Do you perhaps mean you want to create a folder that isn't synced automatically via the "Selective Sync" feature, or via the online only option? In any case, there isn't anything like that, but please feel free to elaborate and I'll be happy to pass…

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 name and version of the platform and SDK/library you are using - the full text of the error or any unexpected output - the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s).…
