When/where does it give that error, and what installation method did you use?

It sounds like you're referring to the DBRoulette sample for the Official Objective-C SDK for the Dropbox API v2. There are three copies of the example project, one for each supported method of installation. To get started, you should pick the one for the installation method you prefer, and then follow the installation…

There's another example for uploading from a file from an input tag here: https://stackoverflow.com/documentation/dropbox-api/409/uploading-a-file/1359/uploading-a-file-via-jquery-in-javascript#t=201702061903317042582

The team has improved this somewhat, but is still working on bringing this back down more.

I can't make any promises, but I'm sending this along as a feature request.

It looks like you're running in to two different errors here, so I'll address them separately. The first one, the 404 in the first screenshot, indicates that there's nothing found at the specified path in the Dropbox account. In the bottom half of that screenshot you're just showing a folder on the local filesystem, not…

Thanks! No, please make sure you have access to the email account for the email address registered to your Dropbox account so you can receive replies to your ticket.

The path you supply to UploadAsync should be the remote path in Dropbox where you want to put the uplaoded file content. It needs to match the regex pattern given in order to be a valid path for Dropbox. The path you're currently supplying probably looks something like "C:\FolderName/\temp.dat". If you want to upload to a…

Thanks for the post! I'm not sure off hand if an expired team should cause that. Please open a ticket with the request and response so we can check on this for you: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact Just make sure to redact the access token. An access token generated on the App Console will work the same as an…

I can't offer a Skype meeting, but I'm happy to help in the forum here. Please share the API calls and resulting unexpected responses that are giving you trouble so we can help.

It's difficult to say off hand what the problem may be, but as it's only happening in one environment for you, and not the other, it sounds like it may be specific to the setup of that VM. Can you check that the Jackson library is installed properly there, and that you only have one version installed? You may also want to…

No, there's no permission or feature like that, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

The HTTP documentation has a curl example, where curl's "data-binary" option is used to supply the file request body from a local file. In JavaScript in the browser, you don't have direct access to use the user's local filesystem, so when using XMLHttpRequest, you can supply the file data directly by using the "send"…

This screenshot also didn't work unfortunately, but if you're still using the API v1 PHP SDK, you can use getDelta (preferably) or getMetadataWithChildren to get the contents of the directory in question, and then count the number of entries where is_dir is true. For API v2, you would use /files/list_folder[/continue] and…

If a shared link already exists for a file or folder, you can use ListSharedLinksAsync with path as the path to the desired file or folder and directOnly=true to get the existing link.

You can use GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync to get the metadata for a shared link. You can then use the returned SharedLinkMetadata.PathLower to delete the file.

It sounds like you're referring to using API v1's /media. This wasn't intended for embedding images on web pages, and API v2's /files/get_temporary_link equivalent likewise isn't meant for that either. I'm afraid I don't have a good solution to offer, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. 

Since the downloaded file itself is 0 bytes, and the remote file isn't, it appears the issue is with the download operation itself. To continue debugging this, we should isolate the download call. For example, I just tried this based on your code, and it worked fine for me: print_r("filename is: $filename \n");…

Sorry, no news for this.

Thanks for the post! I can definitely see how this could be useful. This isn't available in the API, but I'm filing it as a feature request with the team.

Please go ahead and make a new thread for that. Thanks!

We don't have an external tracker, but I'll be happy to follow up here if/when this is added.

This feature isn't available on /2/files/search, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for the additional information! I took a look over your post and code. First, I should note that you're using the PHP SDK for API v1, which is deprecated. You should migrate to API v2 as soon as possible. We don't have an official PHP SDK for API v2, but you can use a third party library, or call the HTTPS endpoints…

To retrieve file content, you can use /2/files/download: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download If you just want a thumbnail of an image file, you can use /2/files/get_thumbnail: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_thumbnail Or, to get a…

This error indicates that you're using an http:// redirect URI for your integration, which isn't allowed, as a matter of security in the OAuth 2 code flow. The best solution is to use an https:// redirect URI. If you don't have an https:// redirect URI to use, an alternative is to not use a redirect URI at all. If you omit…

Thanks for elaborating! Unfortunately I don't have a solution to offer for handling multiple files at a time, short of using the API itself. I've filed this as a feature request though. Also, please do go ahead and open one thread per issue or request you have. That will help us keep track of them.

I don't have any news on this request unfortunately, and I'm not aware of any plans for it right now. We don't have an external feature request tracker, but I'll be happy to follow up here with news if/when this is available.

We recommend using one of the official SDKs, if one is available for your platform: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation Alternatively, you can use a third party library: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/communitysdks Or, integrate with the HTTPS endpoints directly:…

No, unfortunately I don't have a solution to offer for this.
