[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47389574/share-sub-folders-of-app-folder-dropbox ] Currently, app folders are incompatible with shared folders, meaning you can't share an app folder, put a shared folder inside an app folder or put an app folder in a shared folder. Instead, if you need to…

@"shekinahpaul" This thread is regarding a specific quesiton that programmers using the Dropbox API might have. It sounds like you have a non-programming question about using Dropbox itself, so please reach out to support here: https://www.dropbox.com/support 

It's unclear exactly what happened in your project as a result of your source control issue, but I recommend just re-installing the pod: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#cocoapods You can also delete the Pods folder and Podfile.lock file to start clean before installing again.

Thanks for the clarifying. Using the Dropbox API is the only officially supported means for programmatically interacting with Dropbox, so I recommend using it if possible. Further, this is the support forum for the API, so I can't offer much help otherwise. If you're copying Dropbox web site URLs across users, they won't…

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue, but I don't have a timeline for a fix unfortunately. Please do use a full Dropbox app as a workaround for now. Apologies for the trouble.

Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a general way to retrieve URLs for content on the Dropbox web site, so there isn't a way to arbitrarily generate URLs that will always work like this. The proper URL for things can vary based on different factors. I'll send this along as a feature request for a way to do this…

First, note that the connection speed will vary from place to place. Your connection speed to Dropbox depends on the routing you get between your ISP and our servers, and may be slower than your ISP's rated speeds. Sometimes resetting or retrying your connection gets you a different route and better speeds, but that is…

If you want to get the shared links like the one in your sample, you can use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings to create one, if one doesn't already exist: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings If you're using an official SDK, there will be a…

Thanks for the feedback @"Rick D.3"!

What browser(s) and version(s) are you seeing this with?

To move items in bulk using the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK, you should use moveBatch (or moveBatchBuilder) and moveBatchCheck. We don't have a full example of that, but it would look like this: List<RelocationPath> entries = new ArrayList<RelocationPath>(); entries.add(new RelocationPath("/folder1_original_path",…

If you've been granted an extension for access to API v1, your app can use both API v1 and API v2 without issue.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear you were able to get that working. Yes, that code looks fine.

The Dropbox Business API allows you to programmatically manage existing Business teams, but it doesn't allow you to create them. If you're interested in becoming a Dropbox reseller though, you can apply here.

No, Dropbox API access tokens don't expire by themselves, but they can be revoked at any time by the user or app.

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 relevant code snippet(s) to reproduce the issue - the full text of the error/any output, including the…

Being able to see the exception will be very important in writing/debugging the application, so I highly recommend referring to the Heroku documentation for information on how to retrieve the exception. If you can't though, try reproducing the issue by running the app locally/in your development environment instead.

Thanks for the report, and apologies for the trouble. Yes, this should be resolved. Please let us know if you're still seeing any issues.

In this example, you would call like this: dbx.files_download('rev:2bc3d561afc23') You don't need to specify the file path itself. You just need the "rev:abc123" format. The rev string actually identifies the file without the use of the path.

It looks like you may be accidentally truncating the access token. Dropbox OAuth 2 access tokens are generally 64 characters long, but the one you posted is only 43 characters.

I can't think of a way to do this using filesDownload. The filesDownload response block won't fire until the data is ready, so you can't build the URL from the blob until then, which you need to trigger the download. You could use filesGetTemporaryLink instead though. That will directly return a URL you can pass along to…

Per the /2/files/copy_v2 documentation, a `to/conflict/folder` error indicates that the operation failed because there's a folder in the way. In your example, that means that there's already a folder at "/abc". Note that you need to specify the full desired destination path, including name, in `to_path`. That is, in this…

The "EACCES Permission denied" error appears to be an Android error about a lack of permission to read/write the local data. That's not about Dropbox itself exactly, but it looks like you need to make sure you have write permissions, e.g., as covered here:…

No, I don't have any news on this request unfortunately.

API v2 only supports listing up to 100 revisions, but I'll pass this along as a feature request for more. To specify a particular revision in the `path` parameter, you should use a string like "rev:abc123" where abc123 is the rev string for the revision you want.

If you want to call the Dropbox API directly, rather than via a library, you can makes HTTPS connections to the endpoints themselves. For example, to upload a file, you would use /2/files/upload. Calling that using curl in PHP would look something like this: <?php $path = 'test_php_upload.txt'; $fp = fopen($path, 'rb');…

Thanks! I'll need to investigate further. Can you supply the latest job ID that explicitly failed with internal_error? Thanks in advance!

We don't have another Android example app, aside from the one you linked to. What issues are you running in to?

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47237857/get-dropbox-shared-link-after-uploaded-a-file-programatically ] If you want to retrieve existing shared links, you should use /2/sharing/list_shared_links.

It looks like you're using the third party PHP SDK kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk. That's made by a third party so I'm afraid I can't offer help with it. I recommend referring to it's documentation for information on how to use it, or opening an issue there if you need help with it. (If the Dropbox API itself isn't working…
