Thanks! We're looking into it.

No problem. Just to clarify, do you mean you were already using the latest version, or did you just update? I can't reproduce this issue with the latest version, but let us know if you are seeing this error with the latest version.

What version of the SDK are you using? If you're not on the latest version (currently 2.2.3), please update and try again.

This should be fixed in version 2.2.3. Please update and let me know if you're still seeing any issues. 

Thanks for the report Ryan! This looks like a bug in the SDK. We're looking into it.

Hi Jim, Dropbox.Api.RetryException indicates a response from the API that you should handle by retrying the request. This can be caused by a few different things, such as explicit rate limiting, or transient issues on our side. Also, apologies it isn't properly included in the documentation! We'll look into that and get it…

That's marked provided because it isn't strictly necessary when using the SDK. It's just an optional alternative to the standard HttpRequestor.

Hi RTS, if you want to use OkHttp, you'll need to add it to your project, as noted here. It's only specified with the "provided" scope by the SDK's pom.xml.

If you want to interact with files directly via the Dropbox servers (e.g., to edit by downloading and uploading new versions), you can use the Dropbox API. We have an official Android SDK here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/sdks/android

I don't believe we currently export that activity, so calling into it from other apps isn't currently supported, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Any URL-safe encoding method should work. For example the Dropbox Java SDK uses a URL -safe version of base 64 encoding to store the CSRF token in the state parameter.

Hi Lou, I'm not sure I fully follow your question. Can you clarify what you mean by "It calls the app delegate but the API never calls back", and share some sample code? Thanks in advance! 

This would be possible using the API. You could use webhook to be notified of changes that occur, if this is a server-side app: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks Or /list_folder/longpoll if it's a client-side app:…

Hi Jared, no, shared folder metadata isn't available locally on the file system, nor is there an interface for asking for it from the desktop client itself. The only option is to use the Dropbox API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback. 

Hi Alek, the Datastore API and SDKs were deprecated in April 2015 and are no longer supported. The Datastore API itself will continue running until April 2016. You can find the full announcement here: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/04/deprecating-the-sync-and-datastore-apis/ We haven't made any…

Hi Antti, thanks for the detailed feedback! It's very much appreciated. I'm sending it along to the team now.

Richard's correct, both the Dropbox API v1 (a.k.a. Core API) and API v2 allow you to access file content. We recommend using an SDK whenever possible (in which case, you should refer to the specific documentation/tutorial), but the relevant HTTP endpoints are: for v1, /files (GET):…

[Moved to API Development forum] Apologies for the delay! In the future, be sure to post any issues regarding the API in particular in the API Development forum. Anyway, so we can help with this, please let us know: - the version number of the SDK you're using - the rest of the relevant code, e.g., where you create the…

Great! I'm glad to hear that, though I'm surprised a bug like that existed in non-beta 9.0. Good to know though.

Thanks! And yes that's the latest version of the iOS Chooser SDK. I was actually asking for the version number of the official Dropbox app though if you could copy that over. (In the Dropbox app, in the Settings tab, the "App Version" field.)

Can you post the relevant snippets of your app's plist? I.e., the db-APP_KEY URL Type registration, as well as LSApplicationQueriesSchemes? I'm trying to reproduce this behavior. Also, what version of the Dropbox for iOS app do you have installed?

Hi Jeff, for future reference, please only post once per issue. Also, this thread was about using the SwiftyDropbox. It sounds like you're not using that, so if you still need help, please start a new thread. Also, please show the request for the failing API call in your new thread. Thanks!

This should be fixed now in release 3.0.0.

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue with version 2.0.3 that we're working on. In the meantime, you can work around this by downgrading to 2.0.2 for now.

The loadFile method just downloads the file, as opposed to returning a URL. (Apologies for not being clearer on that point.) If you want us to look into the account bandwidth issue, please open a ticket with a sample link from loadStreamableURLForFile as well as the account information from loadAccountInfo:…

Hi Brandon, thanks for the report. For reference, any links created on a particular account, including those returned by loadStreamableURLForFile, are subject to the bandwidth restrictions for links. However, based on the numbers you've detailed, the usage here certainly wouldn't have exceed the limits. Can you double…

Hi Kestas, unfortunately /list_folder/longpoll doesn't currently support cursors for include_media_info=true, but I've opened this as a feature request. We'll update the documentation to clarify this.

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

This should be resolved now. Please let us know if you're still seeing any issues.

Thanks for the additional information Nik! We're looking into it.
