The original `t.buffer is not a function` issue should be fixed in the latest version of the library, currently v4.0.3.

Dropbox shared links for files do currently have /s/, but there are other kinds of links. E.g., shared links for folders use /sh/. In any case though, these link formats are not guaranteed and are subject to change in the future, so you shouldn't rely on them. Likewise, you shouldn't rely on the…

The pre-built Chooser is only built in to the official Dropbox Android app itself, so it's not possible to use it if the official app is not installed. You can build a custom integration using the Dropbox API via the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK whether or not the official Dropbox Android app is installed though:…

@"mark2mark" Are you using a free account? Note that only paid accounts have access to the link expiration feature. You can find more information under the error documentation for the endpoint: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings

@"mikezelton" The Dropbox API download endpoints, e.g., /2/files/download and /2/files/download_zip, return the requested data in the response body. What you/your HTTP client do with that response is up to you. By default, curl just shows the data in stdout. You may want to use curl's `--output` option to specify a…

Only specifically shared items have "owners". I.e., shared folders and individually shared files have owners, but files in shared folders don't. Anyone with edit access to the shared folder can edit/move/delete a file in the shared folder.
-
If you want nested entries, you'll need to use listFolderBuilder to get a ListFolderBuilder on which you can use withRecursive and pass in true to tell Dropbox that you want a recursive listing result, i.e., to return nested items. You can call ListFolderBuilder.start to then start the call.

Can you share the full error output you're getting?

The Dropbox API does offer the ability to programmatically upload files. For example, you can do so using /2/files/upload: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload That's a link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoint itself, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if…
-
Based on the error message you posted, this is failing because your machine was unable to look up the 'content.dropboxapi.com' host. That's the correct hostname, and it is resolving correctly for me. That being the case it appears to be an issue with your DNS server, which is out of our control. Please check on your DNS…

There isn't a way to check the progress of an in-process upload remotely via the API. Depending on what, if any, SDK or library you're using though, there may be a local progress callback available though. (For example, here's a sample of using that in the Objective-C SDK.) Check the documentation for whatever SDK/library,…

If you're getting a 413, it indicates that you're passing too much data per request. For each of these three endpoints, you shouldn't pass more than 150 MB per request, per the documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload_session-start…
-
I don't have a sample implementation for using upload sessions in PHP unfortunately. Can you print out the full HTTP response body you're getting? It should contain a more detailed error message indicating the issue. If you still need help, please also share the code you have so far so I can take a look, in addition to the…
-
I don't have an update on this unfortunately.
-
I just double checked this, and again there doesn't seem to have been an issue here. It's important to keep in mind that users/shared folder owners can move around content, and change permissions, at any point in time. It's also possible for any particular user to not actually be a member of a team folder (or of a group…
-
Thanks for the report! There shouldn't be a delay for getting file metadata like this after a file is uploaded. I just looked into this, and as far as I can tell, that error was correct at that time. I can't disclose private account information of course, but it is possible for users to gain/lose access to files or folders…

I'm closing this thread in favor of the duplicate: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/API-V2-Upload-Limit/m-p/272062#M16150
-
It sounds like you're using /2/files/upload. That endpoint does have a file size limit of 150 MB. For larger files, you should use upload sessions instead. This works the same way for both paid and free accounts.
-
No, it's not possible to set arbitrary expirations on those temporary links, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. Note that you can modify the shared links from sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings for different behaviors if that helps: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download

I can't offer help with lua itself, but it looks like you may not have it configured to actually use https and so it's falling back to http. Dropbox API calls requires https though, so it is redirecting you to https. It looks like there's more information about configuring https support in lua here:…
-
It sounds like you're using code written for an older version of the SDK with a newer version of the SDK, where the method definition has since been changed. You can find the documentation for the current method definition here. You can also have Xcode fill this in automatically using the Xcode autocomplete feature. E.g.,…
-
No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this. You'll need to use /2/files/restore (or a corresponding native method in an SDK/library) to restore individual files as desired.
-
No, I'm afraid I can't share any internal information. Apologies I can't be of more use! I'll be sure to reply here if/when I have any useful information to share.
-
We've had our engineers working on this and the good news is the problem has been fixed. Please try again and you should find that this functionality works correctly.
-
For the issue listing the namespace by namespace ID, please share some sample code and full output so I can take a look. Yes, if you register a Dropbox Business API app for team member file access notifications, you will get notified for changes to any member account. From the documentation: "Note that a single change to a…
-
Based on the internal information available to me (the code, etc.), it appears it will not be a trivial fix.
-
The Dropbox API doesn't offer a faster way to create shared links, e.g., a batch call for this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

As a security feature, OAuth 2 redirect URIs must be pre-registered exactly. Variables/wildcards are not supported in Dropbox OAuth 2 redirect URIs. What you can do instead is encode the necessary information in the 'state' parameter, and decode it as necessary after the redirect back to your app, to handle it as…
-
To clarify, there isn't an option for you to recover it from the App Console, but if necessary we can manually recover it for you. You can open an API ticket to request that if so: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact Anyway, no, if you register a new app with the same name, old access tokens for the old app will not…

My understanding is that it is not in fact a particularly simple change. In any case, I'm afraid I don't have any news on this. Apologies I can't be more helpful!
