When calling /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings a shared_link_already_exists error is expected if a shared link already exists for that path. This can occur, for example, if your app already made that API call for that path. Is it possible your app ran that code more than once for a particular path? If can also…

The Dropbox Saver doesn't currently officially support saving files from data URIs or blobs, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Webhooks don't get sent for comments. I can't make any promises as to if or when that might be implemented, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Hi Scott, you can migrate different platforms at different times like this. Your app can use different versions of the API at the same time without issue. They'll both access the same file data as they would otherwise.

From a technical perspective, this would work, as the API does offer the ability to upload and download files. Also, while there are bandwidth limits on shared links, this doesn't apply to authenticated API calls. For example, to upload and download files, respectively:…

We should have a fix out for this soon, likely today. I'll follow up here once I have an update for you.

I can't make a guarantee, but we expect to have this working again tomorrow. I'll follow up here once I have an update for you.

Hi Mark, the known issue it sounds like you're refrrring to is an unexpected 403 error from /1/view links, which isn't related to the code you shared. It sounds like you're seeing an unexpected result from getSharedLinkFile. You don't seem to be checking the error for that call in your code though. Can you print that out?…

Thanks for the report! We're looking into it.

Thanks! That's helpful. We're looking into it.

Hi Vic, we'll be happy to help with this. Can you share a sample request and response showing the unexpected error? (Just be sure to redact any secret values like the access token or app secret.) Thanks in advance!

Are behind a proxy server or firewall, etc. that may be interfering or failing occasionally by any chance? In any case, transient server/network issues like this can occur, so you should have your app automatically retry a few times on failures like this.

As a first step, I recommend running the SimpleBlogDemo sample app and looking through how that works. For example, HomeController.cs shows how to use these methods to set up and process the OAuth app authorization flow.

Are referring to using the user-linked Dropbox API (for the single linked user), or the team-linked Dropbox Business API (for any particular member of the team)? The Dropbox API doesn't allow you to change the email address of a user's account, but a Dropbox Business app can be used to change the email address on a team…

I think you may be referring to some new logging in Xcode 8 itself. I found some information and a solution at the following links: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/50138 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37800790/hide-strange-unwanted-xcode-8-logs Otherwise, can you share some of the logging messages that…

Thanks for following up Tamas. I'm glad to hear this is working for you now. I'm not aware of any plans to disable CORS for dl.dropboxusercontent.com.

Yes, that's the official .NET SDK. What's the actual error you're getting on the backend of the sample app?

Hi Namit, can you share the code that's giving you trouble? Thanks in advance!

Quick update: the API does now have support for batch copies: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-copy_batch

Quick update: the API does now have support for batch deletes: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-delete_batch

It sounds like there may be a bug in your uploading logic. It's hard to say what it may be offhand, so I recommend adding some logging to your upload code to see where the issue may be and determine where the incorrect data is being sent up, or if you're sending the data out of order or something. Have you tried uploading…

CORS requests should work on dl.dropboxusercontent.com. I just tried it and it is working for me. Can you share some code that's not working for you?

Are you using our official .NET SDK? We recommend doing so. It comes with a SimpleBlogDemo example app that shows how to use DropboxOAuth2Helper to process the app authorization flow. Each user will get their own access token once they go through the app authorization flow. An access token identifies a particular app-user…

FFos, your question doesn't seem related to this thread, so please start a new thread where we can help you individually: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/101000014

Users don't need to be developers to get an access token for your app. What SDK/library are you using, if any? How you set this up depends on what you're using.

Yes, using the OAuth app authorization flow, your app can have each user connect their own Dropbox account. The OAuth guide here may be helpful: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide If you're using an official SDK, the tutorial/documentation will have information on implementing the OAuth app…

The API currently only offers the ability to restore specific files, and not entire folders, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
