This is a known issue. I unfortunately don't have a timeline for a fix or a workaround to offer right now though.

We generally get to all production requests within a few business days.

We can't provide any absolute guarantee of your app's compliance based on this hypothetical description, so you should be sure to review all the guidelines and terms before developing an app: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/tos https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide…

For reference, the Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, but it is per-user, so you don't need to worry about a single user getting your entire app (and other users) rate limited. And yes, it is normal and acceptable that desktop apps will handle the user's access token locally.

That error indicates that the API didn't receive a file included with the POST to the /files (POST) endpoint as expected. Note that if the library supports it, we recommend using the /files_put endpoint instead.

Unfortunately as we didn't make that CodeIgniter library we can't really provide any support for it ourselves. Perhaps someone on the forum is familiar with it though. Otherwise, you may want to ask the developer for help.

There are a few things to check on first in cases like this: * Are both devices linked to the same account? E.g., check DBAccount.userId * Do you see the change from the first device on the Dropbox web site? Changes go to the Dropbox servers first in order to get propagated to other devices. So, for example, if the device…

You can use DBFilesystem.fileInfoForPath: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/sync/docs/ios#DBFilesystem.fileInfoForPath:error: You probably want to do that before you do createFile though.

For the sources, next to "Sources not found", click "Attach Sources" and select the .zip from the Android Core SDK download page. Regarding downloading a file, can you elaborate on the issue you're having? Once you have the SDK added, it should just be the same as shown in the tutorial. Also, I believe only…

* Download the zip from: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/android * Unzip it * Add the jars from the lib folder to app/libs in your project * Right click on them and choose "Add as Library..."

1) If you change the app folder name via the App Console, new users will get the new app folder name, but existing users will keep their existing app folder name. 2) It's not currently possible from your side to move an app from production to development. Do you mean what happens if you disable an app that is in production…

Thanks, that's helpful. Ok, so it looks like you're using the Android Core SDK. That presumably means you're using either Eclipse or Android Studio. In either case, when you use mDBApi to make an actual API call after all of the setup you have here, if something went wrong it would raise an exception with specific…

What SDK are you using? Can you share your code? Can you copy any output you are getting?

What exactly do you mean when you say "can't access it"? What error are you getting? One thing to note is that access tokens are app-specific, so you can't use an access token from the original app with the new app key and secret. If that is what you're trying to do, you'll need to process the app authorization flow again,…

You need to make sure you make the API calls from your server only, not from the user's web browser. If you make the call from the user's browser, the call will need to include the access token, which you don't want to expose to them.

Yes, if you want them to upload to only your account, you can use the generated access token for your account. This can only be safely done if this is a web app, where you can protect the access token on the server.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Have you run into a specific issue you can post the details for? We don't have specific samples for using a single account only, but it doesn't really change how you use the API, so I recommend working through the samples/tutorial for whatever SDK you're using.

Which thing in that screenshot are you referring to? The first lets you enable/disable the "implicit" a.k.a. "token" OAuth 2 flow for your app. The second lets you generate an access token for your account to connect to that app. If you do only need to connect to your own account that is an easy way to get an access token.

If you want the students to only upload to your own account, you can use the API with only your own access token as I described, and they won't need to have their own Dropbox accounts.

The key the email is referring to is just your app's existing app key. While in development mode, only up 100 users can link your app to their accounts. Once in production mode, any number of user accounts can be linked to your app. The development/production switch doesn't affect how your app or the app authorization flow…

Thanks for posting the details. Agreed that this probably isn't related to anything at the OAuth level, as it seems this is failing to create the secure connection in the first place. Also, there are some cases where the app authorization flow can fail to return to your activity, but that should be unrelated to the SSL…

Dropbox and the Dropbox API handle a very large amount of traffic on a continuous basis, so from a technical perspective that shouldn't be a problem. As far as the quota on your account is concerned, you can find that information here: https://www.dropbox.com/account/personal If you're referring to shared links, you can…

Shared links do deep link to the official Dropbox app now as you mentioned, but I don't have any news on an arbitrary way for apps to do this for non-shared files. 

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

The state value is generated by the PHP SDK for you, and is passed through the OAuth app authorization flow. You shouldn't have to set it yourself. I'm not familiar with hwioauthbundle, but it's possible it's consuming it before you can get to it. Can you post the details I asked for in my last reply? Can you post the…

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30106962/dropbox-bad-request-missing-query-parameter-state ] The WebAuth.finish method checks the state value included on the redirect to your redirect_uri when the user is sent back to your app by Dropbox during the OAuth 2 app authorization flow. (This…

Thanks Caram. Some sample code and steps to reproduce this would be helpful. Also, sample output showing this happening with the same datastore, e.g., with a specific ID, may be useful. Anyway, since both of these can be nil, is it possible you're somehow just catching this before it was propagated to both places? When is…

The mtime on both DBDatastore and DBDatastoreInfo can be nil, per the documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/datastore/docs/ios#DBDatastore.mtime : The last modified time for this datastore, or nil if no data has been synced yet. https://www.dropbox.com/developers/datastore/docs/ios#DBDatastoreInfo.mtime : The…

I unfortunately don't have any actual sample code for this, but I believe you can supply a proxy object to this StandardHttpRequestor constructor: http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v1.7.x/com/dropbox/core/http/StandardHttpRequestor.html#StandardHttpRequestor(java.net.Proxy) And then you can supply that…
