The check_and_refresh_access_token method doesn't actually return a token value; it would either internally update the access token in the client, or otherwise raise an exception, so you don't need to check the return value. Also, you don't actually need to call check_and_refresh_access_token yourself at all. The Dropbox…

Thanks for the report! We're looking into it, and we'll follow up here once we have an update on this.

@"bob-is-not-my-uncle" No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this.

That error in your screenshot would occur when attempting to view a .pdf file with a size of 0 bytes, since there's no file content to view. That being the case, you'll need to investigate why the file was uploaded without content. I tested this out myself and haven't been able to reproduce an issue of unexpected 0 byte…

@"thedefaultman" The Dropbox API supports two different access types: "full Dropbox" and "app folder". Apps with the full Dropbox access type can access files/folders anywhere in the connected account. Note though that if you are using the full Dropbox access type and want to access the "team space", you'll need to apply…

Yes, using the /2/files/move_v2 functionality is the right way to move files or folders from one path to another. Check out that documentation for information on that endpoint, as well as the "Path formats" documentation for information on how to format path values. For instance, I notice that your "to_path" value does not…

Yes, there are limitations on this functionality; this media information is not available for all files/file types. The media_info field is an optional field, and when include_media_info is set to true in the /2/files/get_metadata request, media_info will be populated with the media information if/when it is available. The…

Thanks for following up. It sounds like the issue is sometimes occurring when you use 'new StreamContent(fileStream)', but it's not clear from just this code what the issue may be, so I recommend troubleshooting that particular code path. For instance, you may want to reproduce the issue and inspect what is happening when…

I don't currently have any news on this bug.

The /2/files/upload Dropbox API endpoint is a "content-upload" style endpoint, so the client needs to send the file data it wants to upload in the request body. If a /2/files/upload call results in a file with a size of 0 bytes, that should mean that the request body sent to /2/files/upload was empty. I'm not aware of any…

Yes, a Dropbox API app with "full Dropbox" access can read/write in shared folders. I suggest checking out the following guides: * Getting Started Guide * File Access Guide * Sharing Guide * Team Files Guide As for authorization, the user needs to manually authorize the app to access their account at least once. Please…

There are a few things you may be referring to, so to address each: * All Dropbox files are are encrypted at rest and in transit. * If you're referring to contents of Dropbox "encrypted team folders", the Dropbox API does not return special metadata identifying that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't…

Yes, unfortunately even when using a Dropbox shared link with "edit" permissions, the Dropbox Embedder interface in particular does not support editing. I've passed that along as a feature request but I can't make any promises on that I'm afraid. As for the "Server IP address could not be found" error, that doesn't sound…

The closest thing that Dropbox offers to this is the Dropbox Embedder, but while it can display Excel files, it doesn't support the specific features you're looking for. I'll pass these along as feature requests, but I can't promise if or when these might be implemented.

The /2/files/download Dropbox API endpoint is a "content-download" style endpoint and so takes its parameters in a header, and does not expect any data in the request body. The error indicates that your network client is sending data in the request body, so the Dropbox server is rejecting the call. To address this, you'll…

The Dropbox API /2/team_log/get_events[/continue] functionality does not offer sorting options, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. You can find information on all of the options offered in the linked documentation. Note though that "events are not…

To clarify, the Dropbox Saver itself does not accept uploads of new files directly from the end-users. It requires that the web app supply the file(s) by the web app specifying the URL(s) for the file(s). So, if the files are coming from the end-users, you'd need to first (using your own code) accept the file uploads from…

@"lgoldstein01" This thread was specifically discussing the use of the API, so if you're not using the API, I suggest opening a thread in a relevant section of the forum.

Unfortunately there isn't an option for removing or bypassing this limit; to avoid this error, you'd need to bring the number below the limit, or use a different folder tree/account.

The Dropbox Saver is a way for web apps to allow end-users to save files to their own Dropbox accounts. The web app would provide the file(s) by supplying one Internet-accessible URL per file. Exactly where you host the files is up to you, as long as they are accessible on the Internet so that Dropbox can access them when…

I'm afraid Dropbox doesn't have any official support resources or documentation for those as those interfaces are made by Apple, so I can't offer guidance on those. I recommend referring to Apple's resources regarding those interfaces for information on the options they offer.

Yes, but note that that would only be for your own account. If this is only for your own use, that's fine, but you shouldn't distribute your refresh token to any other users.

That's correct, the user needs to authorize the app to access their account in their web browser. This only needs to be done once per account though. For long-term unattended access, the app should request "offline" access, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access…

Whenever you get a 400 error like this, be sure to print out the response body for a more specific error message. To download a file from inside a folder when you have a shared link to the folder though, you should use the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoint. You would specify the shared link to the folder in the…

Unfortunately, the Dropbox iOS Chooser is deprecated and no longer receiving updates, so we can't offer support for it. We recommend migrating to a different option. Please refer to the documentation for more information. Apologies I can't be of more help in that regard!

@"GSB" I can't promise if or when the team will be able to deploy an update to make the servers accept requests with the extra new line.

@"jon9park" Since this is related to the API, feel free to open an API ticket here, and we'll look into it or redirect it as needed. 

@"GSB" No, I don't have any further updates on this.

No, Dropbox still does not offer the OAuth 2 device flow, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be offered though.

Thanks for following up. I'll be happy to help with this issue, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with: * the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any * the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)…
