I'll check in with the team on this, but I don't have an update right now.

Thanks for the information! I can't make any promises right now one way or another, but we're taking a look at this.

It's not currently possible to create a team folder via the Dropbox API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

That error message sounds like it's coming from a third party app or plugin. We can't support third party apps themselves, of course, as we didn't make them, so I recommend reaching out to the developer of the app for help. If they're having trouble with the Dropbox API they can contact us for help with the relevant…

If you mean you need an access token, you can get an OAuth 2 access token for your own account by registering an app: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create And then using the "Generate" access token button on the app's page on the App Console: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps This will only be useful if you…

Alexander, it sounds like you already sorted some of this out, so I'll follow up on the latest thread you replied on, so as not to spam others on these threads.

No news on this, but we're already tracking this as a feature request. One thing that may help though, if you have an API app linked to the owner of the shared link, is to use the new /metadata/link endpoint to get information about the file, and then use /thumbnails to get the thumbnail.

Unfortunately I don't know if or when this might be implemented, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request.

Taking a guess, it sounds like you want to be able to directly get a thumbnail for a shared link for an image like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gloll316vgziw1f/Screenshot%202015-06-11%2009.47.11.png?dl=0 That's not currently possible, (the only parameters those links take are documented here), so you'd need to use the API as…

Yes, unfortunately things can get complicated like that when a particular path has been both a file and a folder, but I believe your described workaround is right.

Thanks for the detailed post, and sorry the documentation isn't clearer on this. Folders do technically have rev values (due to the specifics of how this works on the backend) but /revisions and /restore only work with files, not folders. Likewise, /metadata with a rev parameter isn't meant to be used for folders, and…

That's not currently possible, but I'm passing this along as a feature request.

No problem I'm happy to help. Also, I should mention, one of the advantages of chunked uploading is that even if one of the chunked uploading requests fails, you only have to re-send that one request's worth of data, as opposed to potentially almost the whole file in the single request upload scenario. That being the case,…

When using chunked upload instead of single request uploading, there's extra overhead, due to the additional requests that need to be made. So, while it should be more reliable (i.e., less likely to timeout), it can take longer. You can optimize this compromise for your scenario by choosing your chunk size (i.e., how much…

By the way, here's a quick sample I put together. I haven't tested this fully, so don't just ship this, but I believe the basics are right: - (void) doTest { if ([[DBSession sharedSession] isLinked]) { NSLog(@"Running test..."); // Write a file to the local documents directory NSString *text = @"Hello world. Usually…

The first parameter to uploadFileChunk should be the upload ID, not the destination file name. The first time you call uploadFileChunk though, since you don't know the upload ID yet, you should just pass in nil. Make sure to implement the error callback too: - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient *)client…

The error message is indicating that you have the wrong root set. You set that when you construct your DBSession using DBSession:initWithAppKey:appSecret:root:. It sounds like you're supplying kDBRootAppFolder when you should be supplying kDBRootDropbox to match your app registration.

We don't currently have a Swift sample app for the iOS Core SDK, but it should be possible to use it in a Swift app. There's a blog post here about how to use the Sync SDK in a Swift app: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2014/09/swift-apps-with-dropbox/ I believe the same basic steps should work with the Core SDK. Once…

Hi Georg, the iOS Core SDK on CocoaPods is actually maintained by the community, so the maintainer will have to make that update. I'll send this along to the team as a request to see if we can take ownership of that though.

Hi all, we have a new release of the iOS Core SDK built with bitcode: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/sdks/ios

We don't have an updated Core SDK release with bitcode enabled, but I'll send this along as feedback to the team.

John, I don't recall running into any issues like that on the occasions I've added the source code directly. Can you open an API ticket with the steps to reproduce this so we can look into it?

I don't have a timeline for the next update for the iOS Core SDK but I'll send this along to the team as a request.

No update right now. The best solution if you need it is to add the source directly.

No ETA right now. I recommend adding the source directly if you need it.

You can just add the source directly to your project instead of trying to rebuild the framework.

Thanks Will, I'm sending this along to the team as a request for bitcode in the iOS Core SDK. Being as the iOS Core SDK is open source though, one other option here is to add the SDK source directly to your project, instead of the framework file. The source is included with the SDK download here:…

#1. Yes, the Dropbox API does have various ways to upload and download content. To access content, in various scenarios: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files-GET https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#shares https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#media…

Hi Girum, this thread is posted in the "API Development" forum, for programmers using the Dropbox API. It sounds like you're trying to share some feedback regarding one of the Dropbox apps, so you'd be better served by opening a new thread in the "Production Feedback" forum:…

Ray, I have a sample of registering a progress callback for files.download in SwiftyDropbox here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35659454/swiftydropbox-download-progress/35659995#35659995 It should work the same way for files.upload. There's also a sample of using upload sessions here:…
