The DbxAccountInfo object in the Java SDK doesn't implement all of the fields returned by the raw /account/info endpoint. What specifically is missing that you need? I'll be happy to send it along as a feature request.

Thanks for the information, Alexander! I'm adding this to the feature request.

No news on this.

Sorry, no updates on this.

Thanks for the information! That's very helpful.

We don't have any plans or a beta list for comments functionality on the API right now, but I'm sending this along as a request. For some additional context to help us prioritize though, what did you have in mind for it? Thanks!

Can you try calling it like this? DropboxOAuth2Helper.GetAuthorizeUri(OAuthResponseType.Token, myAppId, (String)null) I believe that should remove the ambiguity. 

No, unfortunately shared links don't have a supported way to get the preview data, like there is for the raw data. (If you're developing an app though it's available via the Core API: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#previews )

The browser will only be able display the file embedded if it knows how to render it. Browsers generally don't have support for Excel files, so in that case its only option is to download it. 

The link you're trying to use ( https://www.dropbox.com/work/_Down%20To%20The%20Woods/Products/_Suppliers?preview=Purchase+Order+(PO)+Dashboard.xlsm?raw=1 ) is a private link. You'll need to use a share link: https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/view-only-access

Those links by default are on www.dropbox.com, which doesn't allow iframing, so that won't work by default. If you modified it to use raw=1 though, it should probably work. Can you share your code for that?

What have you tried specifically, Ben? Can you post some sample code or maybe a sample page?

What you're describing does sound possible using the Core API, but it would involve some custom development work.

Thanks for the feedback! We still don't have a pre-built sort of widget like this, but I've sent this along as a feature request.

That post involves using the Dropbox Core API: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core That certainly is powerful enough to build Dropbox functionality into a web site, but it's much more free form and would require more work to build exactly what you want, as opposed to a sort of embeddable widget like you requested.

The Dropbox Web site itself (www.dropbox.com) can't be iframed and we don't currently have an embeddable widget for showing the contents of a folder, but if you have links to any specific assets (e.g., shared links for images) you can iframe those or hotlink them normally using standard iframe or anchor HTML tags. (You may…

If you want to programmatically interact with Dropbox using PHP, I recommend using the official PHP Core SDK: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/php https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/php http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-php/api-docs/v1.1.x/ How you zip up the file isn't related to the Dropbox API,…

If you're using chunked a.k.a. resumable uploading, you have 24 hours to complete any upload session. So, as long as your app has access to the data it wants to continue uploading, and the upload ID (a.k.a. UploadCursor in the JavaScript SDK) for the uploading session it started, then yes, it can resume uploading from the…

So, if I understand correctly, the issue is that you're calling loadFile but you're not seeing anything downloaded to your local folder? Have you implemented the callbacks so you can see what's happening with those downloads? - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedFile:(NSString*)destPath-…

Hi Adica, unfortunately no, I'm not aware of any plans to introduce a programmatic interface for submitting files to a file request. 

Hi Fred, unfortunately no, this isn't in the API.

I see, thanks for clarifying! File requests would make that relatively easy, but with the current API you could build an upload page on your own server, and then just allow the end users to upload there, and perform the API calls to upload to Dropbox on the backend, without exposing other files or information to them.

Thanks for the additional feedback! Cheri, by the way, it sounds like you should be able to implement your system using the existing Dropbox API, without the use of file requests. That is, the Dropbox API lets you programmatically, create and share folders, as well as directly upload and download files to and from accounts.

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Thanks for the additional feedback and context!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! It's very helpful in determining how to prioritize features like this.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to record your request for this too.

It's not currently available, and we don't have any plans to share regarding potentially adding support for File Requests to the Dropbox API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request!

It sounds like the Dropbox API should suit your needs here. You'll probably want to use the Core API for this. We recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible. Work through the tutorial for the relevant SDK to see how to connect a user (or, if you're not using an SDK, you can use a third party library or implement…

Being as this isn't documented as such, I can't offer any guarantee that it will remain this way, so I don't recommend relying on it being sorted like this. That said, I'm sending this along a s a request to guarantee and document this.
