The relevant documentation for DBFile.info says: Note that the path of a file can change if a conflict occurs, so the value of file.info.path is not always equal to the path the file was opened at. So, you can detect a conflict by checking if the path changed. I'll be sure to pass this along as a request for a better way…

The latest version of the Python SDK now officially supports Python 3.4+: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python Hope this helps! 

We intentionally do not pin intermediate and leaf certificates. We often have a legitimate need to rotate these certificates as they have a shorter expiration time and have a higher risk of getting compromised. For example, several CAs rotated their intermediate certificates as a result of a Heartbleed bug. By pinning…

The list includes all root CAs supported by Dropbox, some of which may not be used in certificate chains we're currently serving. Please include all of these root CAs in your app as we may switch root CAs on our production SSL certificate at any time without notice. The list covers all certificate chains that we are…

Can you clarify what you mean by "a shared folder so that the same app on different devices can share the data"? If the different devices are connected to the same account, you don't need a "shared" folder. In that case, just using the app folder permission should be sufficient. You can make subfolders inside the app's app…

The Java SDK still doesn't offer upload/download progress listeners, but I'll add your vote to the feature request.

Unfortunately, the current version of the Java Core SDK doesn't offer a progress listener, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request.

Hi Manoj, did you have a question regarding the Dropbox API?

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

Hi Carol, if you're seeing this issue with a third party app, please contact the developer so they can look into it. They can then contact us with the relevant technical details if necessary. If you're seeing this on the Dropbox web site itself, please contact support with the details: https://www.dropbox.com/support

Thanks! The issue with IE 10 on the demo sounds like a different problem so we'll look into that separately. Since the demo does work in IE 11 for you, it sounds like there's an issue with using the Chooser with your site specifically. Please open a ticket with the details for your site (i.e., where we can reproduce the…

Thanks for the report! First, can you let me know if this does or doesn't happen for you on https://www.dropbox.com/developers/dropins/chooser/js? If it doesn't, can you provide a sample page where it does reproduce? Anyway, one way this can happen is if window.opener is null. Can you open the console on the Chooser popup…

Hi Victor, no, transferring ownership of an app doesn't affect the existing keys or tokens for the app.

Yes, open an API ticket from the account that owns the app and we can help: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact

The nonce should just be any random string, which should only be used once. You can get the current timestamp however you wish. Also, for what it's worth, if it saves you some trouble, since you just need the one account, I believe you can supply any arbitrary string for userID in the updateAccessToken method. (I can't…

The forum formatting may have messed this up, but make sure you don't have any "\"s. Also, make sure you properly replaced all of the *_HERE values from my sample.

Yes, the loadAccountInfo method makes that API call, but you need to be linked to do that first anyway. To get your user ID once, you can make the call once, e.g.: curl…

Thanks. That's correct, you don't have to call the callback methods yourself, they get called by the SDK. Also, note that the app key passed to initWithAppKey should be just the app key, without the "db-" prefix. The "db-" prefix is only necessary for the URL scheme you register in the plist. Finally, yes, as you mentioned…

There are a few things to note here: 1) Did you implement the callback methods? - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client uploadedFile:(NSString*)destPath from:(NSString*)srcPath metadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata; - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client uploadFileFailedWithError:(NSError*)error; That's how you receive the…

Vuoi dire che si desidera che gli utenti della vostra applicazione per essere in grado di caricare i file sul proprio conto al posto dei propri conti, senza permettere loro di leggere o eliminare? L'API è stato progettato con l'intenzione che ogni utente dovrebbe collegare il proprio account Dropbox, al fine di interagire…

The Dropbox API doesn't offer any S3 specific functionality, but in general, to download a file via the API, you use the /files (GET) endpoint: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files-GET You can then upload the data elsewhere as necessary.

Hi all, thanks for your patience and apologies for the lack of updates on this thread. I just checked on this and I believe this should be fixed in the next version of the iOS app.

I believe once an updated version of the Dropbox app with a fix for this issue is released, this will work as expected without any update required from the calling side. Also, I don't think it's possible to specify the folder to display, as I don't see a way to specify this in UIDocumentMenuViewController itself.

Quick update, we've confirmed this is a bug in the app. I don't have a timeline for a fix right now though.

Apologies for the delay. I'm looking into this and will follow up once I have some more information.

The Sync SDK doesn't currently offer the mime type for DBFile, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. One thing you may want to do is maintain a mapping of file extension to type and use that against the returned file extension though. For example, we have a list of groupings here:…

That's correct. And for further example, if the file is in the root, it's just: https://api.dropbox.com/1/shares/auto/<FileName> Or if it's multiple folders deep: https://api.dropbox.com/1/shares/auto/<FolderName1>/<FolderName2>/<FolderName3>/<FileName>

The path in the API call should just be the path to the file in the Dropbox that you want to operate on. In this case, if you want to get the shared link for a file named "example.txt" in a folder named "Documents", the path would be "/Documents/example.txt". Note that apps using the app folder permission implicitly have a…

I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate? If you mean you want to be able to generate a temporary access token for the Dropbox API, no, that's unfortunately not possible. Access tokens can be programmatically revoked though: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#disable-token -- أنا لست متأكدا من…
