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

Thanks for the feedback Ahmad! It's much appreciated.

We don't currently make jars for the Java SDK available separately, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request to do so.

Yes, that looks like what's happening. That is, the connection took too long and timed out. That can certainly happen if you try to make too many at the same time, so you'll probably just want to put a limit on how many you do simultaneously. 

If the connection hangs, that sounds more like network issues, rather than rate limiting from our side. (E.g., if you're making many call at the same time, your connection may be getting congested.) Any actual rate limiting from Dropbox would return a response with a 429 or 503 status code, sometimes with a Retry-After…

Mark, can you clarify what you mean when you say you don't get any error, but "simply dead space"? Any rate limiting from the Dropbox API would return an explicit error. It may be helpful if you share your code and output.

The Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, but we don't have any specific numbers documented. It is only designed to prevent abuse though, and is accordingly very generous. Further, the limits operate on a per-user basis. That being the case, you generally don't need to worry about hitting it in normal use. Also…

You can find the full documentation for the API, including the different functionality and parameters, on the developers site: https://www.dropbox.com/developers If you're using one of the official SDKs, you can find the specific documentation linked to on the relevant page. If you're using the HTTP interface directly, you…

Hi Eugene, it looks like you also posted this in a new thread, so I'll follow up there.

It sounds like you may want to use the Dropbox iOS Chooser then: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/dropins/chooser/ios Alternatively, you can use UIDocumentPickerViewController, for which the Dropbox app supports the modes: - UIDocumentPickerModeImport - UIDocumentPickerModeExportToService

It sounds like you want to use the "app folder" permission. You can find more information about the different permissions here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide#app-permissions You can select the permission when registering an app: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create When using the API with…

Yes, that is one possibility. There may be other cases too, but in any case your app should handle it the same as described in the documentation.

Hi Ashley, the null metadata indicates that the item is deleted. You can find more information on this under the "delta entries" section of this endpoint's documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#delta There's a blog post that shows some logic for this that may be helpful here:…

This isn't currently possible, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. 

This isn't currently available in the Dropbox API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request!

Are you sure that's the actual/entire response body? That doesn't look like an error from the Dropbox API. Anyway, the documentation includes a curl example: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_preview

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39016383/call-get-preview-http-method-returning-404-error ] What's the response body? It should contain a more useful error.

No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this.

I'm using the code you provided in your first post, in the DBRoulette sample app as you described. Anyway, I've sent it along to the team to investigate.

Thanks! I'm not seeing that behavior though. What version of iOS is the device running?

We're still looking into it. To help us make sure we can or can't reproduce exactly what you're seeing though, can you share a screenshot showing the memory graph you're seeing? Also, you mentioned you saw this with Xcode 6.4 on iPhone 4S. Have you also seen this with other versions?

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it.
