@"anas saifi" I've moved your post to its own thread, as the original thread did not mention an issue with a CORS error. Please share the details of the issue, such as the steps/code to reproduce the issue, as well as the full error/output you're getting so we can take a look.

Thanks for the report. Can you let me know: * Are you referring to using the /2/files/download_zip endpoint? * Does it always fail after 2013265920 bytes, or does that number vary? * Does it always fail after a specific amount of time? If so, how long is that?

@"rahulsharma1902" As Здравко said, Dropbox is no longer offering the option for creating new long-lived access tokens. Dropbox is now issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. You can find more information on this migration here. Apps can still get long-term…

@"sarshavs" The /2/files/move_v2 endpoint only supports the Dropbox-API-Select-Admin "Team Admin" mode, meaning it can "can access content of team folders and team spaces but not the team members' home namespaces". That means you can't use /2/files/move_v2 to administratively move a file from the user's home folder. That…

@"mikechiu" If you can share a sample like Здравко described, that would be helpful. Thanks!

@"yatin_manchanda" This is still accurate; the Dropbox API still doesn't offer an option for listing subfolders only.

@"rahulsharma1902" To add on to what Здравко said, if you need to modify a shared link, refer to this help article.

@"YanivB" I see you're getting an empty list back from listFolder, so it looks like you may be using an app with the "app folder" access type. Apps with the app folder access type can only access the app folder automatically created for it. App folders are empty by default, so you would initially get an empty listing like…

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you need help with the Dropbox API, please clarify exactly what you're stuck on.

@"rdyar" If you're using an official Dropbox SDK, like the official Dropbox JavaScript SDK you're using in the last piece of code you shared, you don't need to perform the "grant_type=refresh_token" step yourself. If you pass the necessary credentials (refresh token and app key/secret) to the SDK, it will automatically…

@"ms97" If you perform an upload using the Dropbox API and it is automatically rooted in the app folder, that means you are using an access token for the app for that app folder. Registering and authorizing a new app with full Dropbox access won't change existing access tokens (or refresh tokens); existing access tokens…

@"ms97" Здравко is correct; you cannot change the access type ("app folder" versus "full Dropbox") on an existing app. You can find more information on access types here. You can register a new app with full Dropbox access here.

Yes, Dropbox issues short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. Apps can still get long-term access by requesting "offline" access though, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed, without further…

In the /2/sharing/list_file_members output you shared, I see the result has "is_inherited": true. Per the /2/sharing/list_file_members/batch documentation, "Inherited users and groups are not included in the result", so this is the expected behavior.

The Dropbox API does not offer the ability to search in multiple paths in a single call, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. Instead, you should issue one call per path. (Alternatively, you can omit the 'path' entirely, in which case the search will…

@"mikechiu" If you want /2/sharing/list_shared_links to return parent links you should set "direct_only" to false, or omit it entirely. That should return parent links, even in a team space, but as Здравко noted, that will only occur if there are parent links to return. From your description, it sounds like there weren't…

When uploading files to Dropbox via the Dropbox API, Dropbox will save whatever data you supply, so you'll need to make sure you're sending the exact correct data you want saved. In your code, I see you're calling the filesUpload method to upload the file. When doing so, you supply the data you want to upload in the…

Regarding the 'no_write_permission' error, I suggest opening an API ticket with the full details of the API call you're making so we can look into that more specifically for you. Please redact just the access token. Yes, you can use the /2/users/features/get_values user endpoint to check which features a particular account…

By default, apps in development status can only be connected to the app owner's account, but you can enable other accounts to connect. Please refer to the documentation here for information on how to configure that: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/developer-guide#production-approval

Unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer an API for accessing comments, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

The Dropbox API does not offer an option for controlling that kind of reporting behavior. On Dropbox, the deletion of a parent implies the deletion of all of the children of that parent.

Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here. To get started, I recommend reading the Getting Started Guide. For information on how the…

Yes, when an app doesn't use team scopes, it gets connected to a specific account, not the entire team. When an app uses team scopes, it gets connected to the entire team, not just a specific account. So, when an app doesn't use team scopes and is connected to a specific account, there is only one relevant account and so…

The NamespaceMetadata.team_member_id is only returned for team member folders or app folders, not shared/team folders, so it wouldn't be returned for your "ManagedIntake". That means that you're not actually setting a value in as_user, resulting in that error. If you have a team-linked client like this, you'd need to get a…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/issues/520 ] @"pramodkr200" I understand that you are attempting to list all files/folders using listFolder. Note that this functionality is paginated and you are not guaranteed to get all of the results back in a single listFolder call, so make sure…

By default, API calls to the Dropbox API operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space". That means that by default, the contents of the team space will not be found. From the screenshot you shared, the "ManagedIntake" folder is in the team space. API calls can be configured to operate in the…

Thanks for following up and sharing that. Unfortunately it's not clear why that may be happening for those users, so I suggest raising this with support so they can investigate.

@"bild_film" Thanks for the note!

@"bild_film" Thanks for the feedback!

@"bild_film" Thanks for the feedback! I don't have any news on this right now, but I'll follow up here once I do.
