Great, I'm glad to hear that's solved. Can you let us know what setting specifically was doing it? We can look into it to see if we can detect this scenario and expose an error message in the future.

@"rocketgardenlab" Thanks! That looks like effectively the same issue. I'll follow up here once it's fixed.

Dropbox does offer an API that you can use to manage shared folders, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers For example, to share a folder:…

Hi Mark, are you able to reproduce this on the simulator, or only on a device?

Thanks! That's helpful. This seems to be a network issue again. The Dropbox API servers are working properly though, so this indicate an issue with your network connection. Specifically, based on the error "failed to connect to api.dropboxapi.com/192.168.1.1" it appears your computer thinks api.dropboxapi.com translates to…

I see, thanks for the screenshot! No, you can't upload to a folder just with the link. That shared link is a different kind of sharing, and only provides read-access. You'd need to actually be invited to the shared folder (or the shared parent folder, in the case of the screenshot) to be able to write to it.

1. The CocoaPods installation method doesn't seem to be affected by this. Changing your package manager isn't ideal of course, so in the meantime you can use version 3.1.2 via Carthage instead. 2. Yes, I will follow up here once I have an update on this.

A shared folder can different paths in different accounts (since users can move shared folders, etc.) That being the case, when operating on a shared folder via path, make sure you're using the path from the account you're operating on. The SharedFolderMetadata, e.g., returned by /2/sharing/list_folders[/continue] returns…

Thanks Jeffery!

Thanks, it sounds like it is probably specific to that device then. Do you have any restrictions/parental controls enabled on that device currently by any chance?

For using API v2 from JavaScript, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js The equivalent method is usersGetCurrentAccount: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#usersGetCurrentAccount__anchor

Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like the issue here is that the certificate chain for https://pdforms.px.be is incomplete: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=pdforms.px.be&hideResults=on That being the case, the Dropbox servers can't verify the connection. (They work differently than your browser.) If you're…

Thanks! I haven't heard of this behavior happening before so we'll have to look into it. Just to confirm though, can you try the sample app on that device? It would be good to know if there's something just specific to that device, or if it's something about that combination of iOS version and your code. Also what version…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45805431/c-sharp-compare-files-on-disk-with-those-on-the-cloud-and-download-files-that-di ] If you're using .NET, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet There's a guide there for getting…

The SDK you're using uses API v1 which is deprecated and being retired soon. You should migrate to API v2 instead. We don't have plans for an official PHP SDK for Dropbox API v2, but you can use a third party library or, you can call the HTTPS endpoints themselves. For example, to access file content, you can call…

No, nothing new here.

Thanks! We'll look into it. You may want to use `raw=1` instead of `dl=1` though, as `raw=1` is meant for displaying file content, and `dl=1` is only meant for downloading: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download The Content-Type is still as expected when using `raw=1`.

In this context, by users I'm referring to the different Dropbox accounts, i.e., each registered to Dropbox with a different email address. The Dropbox API was built with the intent that each end-user of your app would connect their own Dropbox account. In the typical case, this isn't really something where you can spread…

The Dropbox API does offer the ability to upload files, so this should be possible: HTTP: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload Objective-C:…

It looks like you're trying to integrate with Dropbox via Zapier. We can't offer support for Zapier itself, as it's made by a third party, but we'll be happy to look into this on the Dropbox side of things. Can you provide steps to reproduce the issue or relevant code, as well as a sample URL that produces this issue?…

Hi Patrik, thanks for the report. This is an issue with the latest version of the SDK. We're working on it. Apologies for the trouble!

Dropbox unfortunately doesn't provide any sort of programmatic interface for managing these Smart Sync settings, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for the report! Those three lines should be safe to ignore. The first one is just checking the network availability, and the other two are checking for the official Dropbox app, but the "null" error means nothing is wrong. Can you elaborate a bit on what happens though? Is the openURL block getting called at all?…

Yes, the Dropbox API does offer the ability to both share folders and upload into shared folders. To share a folder with another account, you can use /2/sharing/share_folder to share the folder, and /2/sharing/add_folder_member to invite another account. On the recipient account, you can list folders that you can add to…

It looks like you're throwing the UnsupportedOperationException in your own code in the catch block. Can you share the full error that is causing the catch block to run?

1. The 150 MB limit is technically not an exact limit. It depends on some network conditions which can vary, so even uploads smaller than that can sometimes fail. It looks like you already found how to change the timeout, but in general we do recommend using chunk sizes smaller than that to begin with. Using a smaller…

@"tslanina" That's correct, these NSURL parameters were changed to NSString in v3.0.11 after I wrote the examples above. I'll send this along to the team as a request to update the method/parameter names to clarify.

Dropbox does not prohibit or require Dropbox API apps to be paid. How you distribute your app is up to you. We do encourage developers to offer Dropbox in both free and paid versions of their apps, if they have them: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/developer-guide#great-apps In any case though, you should be…

Apologies, it looks like the data ingress guide is worded a bit confusingly: "Rate limits are applied to the OAuth access token used to make the request. For user-linked apps this means rate limits apply per user who has linked your app." Note that the first sentence isn't written with the potential of having multiple…

Hi Mark, I'm not sure offhand what might be causing this. We're looking into it and I'll follow up here once I have more information for you.
