Thanks for the tip Andrew!

Unfortunately we don't have any official guidance or support for using the Drop-ins in a Chrome extension right now, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request.

The error message is "No auth method found", meaning the API didn't receive an authorization method, which in the case of the iOS Core SDK, as you appear to be using, should be OAuth 1 signing with a valid access token. That should be mostly done for you, as long as you followed the tutorial. Can you share the rest of the…

A 504 response from the Dropbox API just indicates transient server issues on our side. This error response isn't specific to the API though and so doesn't have the right headers for use with JavaScript. Anyway, in this case you don't need to do anything special besides just retrying the request.

We're still tracking this as a feature request, but there are no current plans to implement this.

To follow up on this in case you aren't already aware, this endpoint is working now. (The generated curl example in the documentation is wrong though, as this particular endpoint doesn't take an Authorization header.)

Thanks for the report. We're looking into it.

Good catch, thanks!

Thanks for the report! You're right, it looks like we have this wrong in the documentation and validation. We'll look into it.

The Dropbox JavaScript library checks a few things (e.g., window and navigator) to make sure it's in an environment where it can work correctly. If it doesn't find those things it throws that error to let you know. Unfortunately I don't think there's a good solution here, as the library wasn't built to support running in a…

This should be addressed in release v1.3.14: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/sdks/ios

Thanks! I'm adding that to the report as well.

Your reading looks right to me, so I'll report this to the team to check and fix it.

Can you post some sample code, sample strings, and resulting output/any exceptions so we can take a look? Thanks in advance!

That's one way, or you can use the createTemporaryDirectLink method to get a temporary link to the file contents without downloading the contents to your server itself: http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-php/api-docs/v1.1.x/class-Dropbox.Client.html#_createTemporaryDirectLink

Either full or file type access would allow your app access to files outside an app folder, so whichever you prefer.

I'd need to see the error or output to say with more confidence, but it sounds like your app is registered for a more restrictive permission than you need. (E.g., maybe you registered for "app folder" when you need to access other files outside the app folder.) You can find more information on the different app permissions…

What making an API call, e.g., using getFile, you can specify the full path to the desired file. E.g., from the PHP Core SDK tutorial, I might change the getFile line to: $fileMetadata = $dbxClient->getFile("/Form1/image.jpg", $f); In this case, I'm downloading image.jpg from the Form1 folder.

I'm not too familiar with the Wufoo Dropbox integration itself, but my understanding is that it accepts files uploaded to your form and puts them in your Dropbox. It sounds like you then want to get those files from your Dropbox and display them on your site in a mosaic. This would certainly be possible using the Core API,…

Do you mean you want to trigger some action in your app when the user has finished authorizing the app to access their account? Whether or not the official Dropbox app is installed, you should trigger this from application: openURL: in your app delegate, as shown in the tutorial:…

The app authorization flow will happen in your app if the official Dropbox app isn't installed. If it is installed, the user will leave your app and process the authorization in the official app. You, as the developer, don't have to do anything differently in either case.

To use the Dropbox Core API, you need to be able to make HTTPS connections to (depending on which API calls you're making): * api.dropbox.com * api-content.dropbox.com * api-notify.dropbox.com For downloading files in particular, the relevant one is api-content.dropbox.com . Are you able to access that from the server?…

Can you post your actual code, including the real values for these variables, and the output? It's hard to follow using the example values. Also, there's some sample code for this in the tutorial: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/ios#uploading

Unfortunately, we don't have a system for setting up test accounts for developers for the Dropbox for Business API right now, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request. That being the case, the only real option currently is to use trials like you mentioned. Apologies I don't have a better solution right now!

You're correct, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer a way to query revisions by date, or retrieve more than 1,000 revisions, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

I suppose that's possible. Trying different network connections/devices may help confirm or rule that out. Also, you may want to try simplifying things, e.g., remove the part where you use a newly encoded file and just try an existing local video file, to try to narrow this down.

Getting it to work by adding the breakpoint does seem strange, though perhaps that's causing a timing change. The error code does indicate a network issue though. Are you running multiple of these simultaneously? Perhaps the delay from the breakpoint is allowing your network connection to clear up. In any case, can you try…

Per the documentation, NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 is: NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost = -1005, Is the network connection on that device working properly? Is there anything on the network connection for that device that may be interfering? In any case, it may be good to implement some automatic retrying.

Hi "testaccountprimary", this is an old thread about the Sync SDK in particular. It's unclear if that's what you're referring to, so please open a new thread with additional details so we can help you without spamming the other people on this thread. Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't have an update on if or when we'll be able to improve this on our side. Sorry I don't have anything better to share!
