There still isn't a programmatic interface for controlling Selective Sync settings like this, but we're tracking it as a feature request.

The loadFile method only works for files, not folders, and unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to download entire folders at once. (I'll be sure to pass this along as a request though.) That being the case, you'll need to loop through the items you want to download and get them one by one.

No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to get the URL for a folder, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

Unfortunately, the Android Core SDK doesn't currently expose the Retry-After header, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

I don't know if there are plans for full documentation for the iOS Core SDK (as opposed to just what's in the header file now) but I'll send this along as a request.

To clarify a bit, "public links" refers to an older method of sharing that only applies to items in the Public folder: https://www.dropbox.com/help/16 "Shared links" refers to a new method of sharing that can be applied to any item, regardless of location in the Dropbox account: https://www.dropbox.com/help/167 On the API…

Werner, the .js library you mentioned was only built for JavaScript. (Also, note that the Datastore API is deprecated.) For Android, you'd likely be better served by one of the Android/Java SDKs. For example for API v1 a.k.a. the Core API, there's an official SDK written in Java for Android here:…

Thanks for trying that and following up. Can you try it with just defaultChooser then? You actually don't need to have a separate Drop-ins app anymore anyway, since the key for your Sync API app can use Drop-ins too. (This wasn't always the case, which is why the documentation has the note about initWithAppKey.) That is,…

[Cross-linking for reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28390549/dropbox-chooser-completion-handler-not-firing ] I believe the issue may be that you're essentially using two different Choosers in the different code snippets, i.e., by doing [[DBChooser alloc] initWithAppKey... twice. Can you try it with a shared…

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…
