Thanks for the report! I'm not sure I fully follow this though. Can you share a set of screenshots or a screencast showing the issue so we can look into it? Thanks in advance!

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40477103/get-shared-links-returns-empty-array ] Thanks for the report! We'll look into it. By the way, we recommend using /2/sharing/list_shared_links instead anyway, since /2/sharing/get_shared_links is deprecated.

In Dropbox API v2, you can get the metadata for an item using /files/get_metadata. You can list the files and folders under a particular path using /files/list_folder and /files/list_folder/continue. By the way, I redacted it from your post, but for the sake of security, you should disable that access token that you…

Assuming "dropbox" is your Dropbox client instance, it would just be "dropbox.files_list_folder" (Without the extra ".files".) There's an example here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/blob/master/example/updown.py#L138 You probably shouldn't name your client object "dropbox" though, since that's the name of…

Unfortunately, the Dropbox Android app doesn't currently support content links, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks Keith! We'll look into it.

I can't speak to how WinMerge does encoding detection, but it does seem the files are identical, so it seems the Dropbox upload/download worked correctly. Does the original file work correctly in Excel?

I don't see anything clearly wrong here, but can you clarify what you mean when you say that WinMerge indicates the files are equal but have different encodings? If the files have the same content, the upload must have worked correctly. You might want to try hashing the files to see if they are exactly the same. Comparing…

Thanks! Can you share an actual URL and path (for the parameters to the intial call to /2/files/save_url) that reproduces this though? I can't reproduce this yet, so I suspect the specific values you're using may be relevant. You can open a ticket here if you'd prefer to share privately:…

Can you share a sample project showing the issue? That should help us see exactly where the problem is happening. Thanks in advance!

Apologies, the navigation on that page needs to be fixed. I was referring to the "Receiving notifications" section under the second tab there. (The page defaults to the first tab.)

You didn't mention where/when you actually switched accounts. Did you do so? When using forceReapprove=true, you would need to manually (as the user on the Web site) switch the account you're logged in to by logging out and then logging in as the other account, before authorizing the app again.

You can certainly switch users by switching access tokens, as you're attempting to do. It sounds like the issue is that when you direct the user to authorize the app a second time, they're being automatically redirected back to your app, along with a (new) access token for that same account. This can happen if the user is…

The specific numbers for disabling webhook URI can be found here under "Receiving notifications": https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks#webhooks Note that we are experiencing a service disruption with the webhooks service on our side though, which would also contribute to any issues you just saw. We're…

This isn't officially supported, but this may work instead: [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ucf6qub7ueuzbez/holder.jpg[/IMG]

That note is about hosting and rendering .html files in particular. Image files are fine. For example, using your sample link, you can embed it as an image using: <img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ucf6qub7ueuzbez/holder.jpg?raw=1"> I just tried that out and it worked for me. (You'll have to translate that for the syntax…

It sounds like you're referring this feature of shared links: https://www.dropbox.com/help/201 Can you share the code you have so far that isn't working? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for elaborating! No, the API doesn't offer anything quite like that. If the user has any reason to believe their browser and/or access tokens have been compromised though, they can revoke sessions and tokens on their account security page.

To list files and folders in a linked Dropbox account using the official Dropbox .NET SDK, you should use the listFolder and listFolderContinue methods. There are some simple examples here: *…

Hi Győző, the not_found error should indicate that "The file where the URL is saved to no longer exists". Is there any other activity in the account that might be causing this? If not, meaning you're getting the not_found error when the file is successfully getting saved, and isn't being deleted or moved by something else,…

It should be enough to say that you're unable to resolve 'content.dropboxapi.com'. Make sure to include any and all error output you're getting though.

That looks like a DNS failure. The content.dropboxapi.com domain is resolving properly for me right now though, so it sounds like your computer/server may be having network or DNS issues. You or your hosting service would need to look into that on your side. Apologies I can't be of more help!

I don't have an update on this yet. I'll reply here as soon as I do.

In API v1, /delta is preferred for listing all files and folders.

I'm not sure I understand your question, can you elaborate? In any case though, if you would want the access tokens to effectively expire, you can have your app explicitly revoke them on whatever schedule you want.

No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer deep-linking like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

1. Access tokens for the Dropbox API, regardless of which version you're using, don't expire by themselves. Users and apps can explicitly revoke tokens though. 2. In this case, you'd get a new access token, not the old one.

The API doesn't offer a way to upload an entire folder at once, but you can upload each file as necessary, e.g., using: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload We recommend using one of the official SDKs, if possible, each of which have corresponding upload methods:…

The API doesn't offer options for sorting/ordering the returned metadata, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. You can sort the entries in your application's own code of course after you receive them, but make sure you process them in the order returned first to make sure you get an accurate…
