We don't currently have an official integration or library for Sharepoint, but if you're a developer and want to build your own integration, you can use the Dropbox API. You'd want to use the Core API, and we recommend using an official SDK whenever possible: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core Otherwise, there are…

Hi Stanley, this thread was about functionality in the programming interface for Dropbox. Feedback for the Dropbox product itself like yours would be better suited in the Product feedback forum: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200209235-Product-Feedback?sort_by=recent_activity

Unfortunately, no, the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer any batch capability like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request.

This certainly is possible. You'll want to use the Core API, and we recommend using one of the official SDKs for it if possible: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core You can also use webhooks to get low-latency notifications when things change in your users' Dropbox accounts: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/webhooks…

This should be fixed now.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31038598/access-control-allow-origin-error-when-using-dropbox-api ] This looks like a bug on our side. We're looking into it.

The direct link type for the Chooser is good for four hours, so if you need to download the content, you'll need to do so within that window. If you need longer-lived links, you can use the preview link type. (Those don't offer direct file access by default, but can be modified as necessary.)

Which Drop-in are you using? (The Chooser or Saver?) The "direct" links from the Chooser do expire after four hours, if that's what you're referring to. Otherwise, please post some more details, e.g., a sample request/response.

We were experiencing a service disruption earlier, which could result in 502s and 504s, but that should be mostly resolved now. 

Can you post the relevant code and the output you get? Also, what percent of calls are you seeing this with?

Doug, I'm not sure if I understand your question. This issue was only affecting apps already using OAuth 1, with HMAC-SHA1 signing in particular. The fix should have resolved the issue for these apps without requiring the apps to be updated. If you're seeing any unexpected errors, please open an API ticket with the details…

Please open an API ticket with a sample request and response so we can look into it: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact

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

Thanks for the additional reports. We have a fix for this and should be deploying it later today.

Thanks for the reports! We're looking into it. Meanwhile, this seems to only affect HMAC-SHA1 signing, so if you can, switch to using PLAINTEXT: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/blog/20/using-oauth-in-plaintext-mode

If you're referring to Python 3 support in the official Python SDK for the Dropbox API, I don't have a timeline, but I'm sending this along as a request.

[Moved to API Development forum] The API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files. However, it is technically possible to connect to just one account. The SDKs don't offer explicit support for it and we don't recommend doing so, for…

While in development mode, up to 100 users can link to your app. Being rejected during the production request process will not affect them.

The production application process exists so that we can review apps. We review API apps requesting production access for several reasons, e.g., to ensure they comply with the terms, the branding guidelines, etc. If an app does not comply, it will be rejected. Rejected apps can of course be updated to comply and then…

There was just another thread about this, so take a look there for some more information: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204766829-Changing-from-OAuth1-to-OAuth2 In short though, OAuth 2 redirect URIs do need to be pre-registered, so a few alternatives are: - use OAuth 2, but with a single, static…

Unfortunately that browser isn't officially supported for the Dropbox web site, so I'm afraid we won't be able to help in that regard. Please feel free to open a ticket with more context though to see if we can come up with a solution: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact

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

[Moved to API Development forum] Thanks for the report. We're aware of the issue and expect to have it fixed later today.

That's correct, the same goes on the API too. The Dropbox API will sync whatever files you give it regardless of file type. The only exception is if you registered an app with the file type permission, in which case it will be restricted to whatever groups you selected, as documented here:…

Once you receive the notification, you can call /delta for that user to find out specifically what changed: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#delta

For web apps, you can get notified of changes in your linked users' account using webhooks: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/webhooks/docs For client-side apps, you can use /longpoll_delta: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#longpoll-delta

This certainly sounds possible. The API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files. However, it is technically possible to connect to just one account. The SDKs don't offer explicit support for it and we don't recommend doing so, for…

The API doesn't currently return information about which admin of a team performed a Dropbox for Business API app authorization, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Is the path "/home/user/Projects/Clients" a local path on your machine? The file_copy method takes two parameters, both of which are supposed to be remote paths in Dropbox (not local paths), in order to copy a file or folder already in Dropbox to another location in Dropbox. They should be paths relative to the root of the…
