This is moving beyond the scope of API support now, so I'm afraid I'm not the best person to help with this. Please contact Dropbox for Business support for further help with team and SSO setup: https://www.dropbox.com/support

Hi Francisco, apologies for the delay! We've heard back from the team, and it sounds like the cause here is that invited members can only join through SSO if the domain has been verified. 

I don't believe there's much you can do with the Auth class beyond just checking if the getOAuth2Token method returns null. If using AuthActivity directly works better for your use case I think that would be fine to do.

Are you using one of the official Java SDKs? If you're using the v1 Java SDK, you can use the getFile method: https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v1.8.x/com/dropbox/core/DbxClient.html#getFile(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.io.OutputStream) In the v2 Java SDK, you would use the download…

I don't have an update on this yet. We'll follow up here once we do.

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

1. This depends on how your app is set up. Access via the Dropbox API comes down to the access token though. The access token identifies the app, user or team (depending on the app type), and level of access that app has to that user or team. So, if you want your web app to just connect to a single Dropbox account, you can…

Hi Jon, this forum is intended for developers using the Dropbox API, but it looks like you're attempting to interface with the Dropbox desktop client. The Dropbox desktop client doesn't offer an official programmatic interface, so I'm afraid we can't offer help with this.

Hi John, the Dropbox API doesn't offer this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. 

If you're not getting an error, the response should be the file content. Is it possible the file is 0 bytes? You can check on the Dropbox web site.

That endpoint requires OAuth 1 signing. For example, see step 4 in this blog post: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2012/07/using-oauth-1-0-with-the-plaintext-signature-method/

API v2 only supports OAuth 2, not OAuth 1, so you won't be able to use an OAuth 1 access token with OAuth 2. The OAuth 2 endpoints are documented here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization (If you need to, you can use existing OAuth 1 tokens to get OAuth 2 tokens…

Hi Erik, if you want to integrate with the Dropbox API using Python, I recommend using the official Dropbox Python SDK: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/python You can find a tutorial, examples, and documentation there to help you get started. You can have your users authorize your app to connect to their…

What error are you getting? (By the way, that's for the API v1 version of the SDK. If you're starting a new app, you should use v2, via https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/python , e.g., the files_list_folder method.)

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39074097/dropbox-api-v2-get-current-user ] Can you post the full response body? It should have a more useful error message.

When running an app, the code will use the file system of the machine it's running on. In the case of a web app, that's the server it's running on, so when you deploy it to your remote server, it will use that server's filesystem, and not your computer's. If you want the web app to interact with files on the user's…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39135256/dropbox-api-cursors-how-long-are-they-valid-for-and-using-them-properly-over-ti ] Cursors don't expire (but they can be "reset"). To stay up to date though, you shouldn't call listFolderGetLatestCursor after you've already begun getting a listing.…

Thanks for the report! It looks like you also opened a ticket about this so we'll follow up on this there.

Thanks for posting Ted. Richard's right, fundamentally, client-side apps can't keep secrets, so we don't recommend embedding your own access tokens like this in client-side apps. We'll consider this a feature request for short-lived access tokens, as well as more specific permissions, such as upload-only.

The API doesn't currently offer any functionality for events or recents, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. That being the case, the method of staying up to date with list_folder is the best solution.

Because the Dropbox IPs are subject to change as servers are added and removed, or as maintenance occurs, we are unable to provide you with a list of our IPs. We recommend you only use the domains if possible. You can find a help article with a list of official domains here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/217

We haven't announced a deprecation timeline for API v1. For important announcements, make sure you have "Dropbox API announcements" enabled on: https://www.dropbox.com/account Besides that, be sure to keep an eye on the blog for new posts: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/blog (There's an RSS feed here:…

No update or timeline for this right now.

Thanks, that's helpful! We're looking into it. I can't offer a timeline for a fix right now, so you may want to detect this scenario (e.g., based on the repeated cursor and has_more=true) to work around it for now.

Mark, can you share a sample response or two that's giving you trouble? Thanks in advance! 

Please open an API ticket with the specifics on the app name issue and we can check on it for you: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact

That response indicates the upload was successful. Are you sure you're looking at the right account when you look for the uploaded file? You can use the account information call to check what account you're linked to via the API for comparison. Also, if your app uses the "app folder" permission, note that the path…

Hi Mario, I can't seem to reproduce this. Have you tried it from a different network connection? There might be something on your connection (e.g., proxy, anti-virus, firewall, etc.) that is interfering. Also, in the title, you said it fails for files "> 100K and < 1MB". You said it works for small files, but does it also…

Thanks for the report! We're taking a look.

You can now download the Java SDK JAR and and its dependencies directly from the latest release page, as of version 2.0.4: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/releases
