Can you show where/how you're getting the 415 error? For instance, is that happening on the Dropbox web site? It may be helpful if you can share a screenshot of it. If it's on the web site, be sure to show the URL for context. Also, if the files_upload method doesn't raise an error, it should return a value containing the…

@"brtdvrs" I'm not sure I understand your latest question. If you need help using Visual Studio, you'll need to refer to the documentation/support materials for that. Dropbox doesn't make Visual Studio itself so we can't offer support or guidance on how to use it in particular. In your first post in this thread you shared…

@"brtdvrs" As Здравко said, you may have registered your app for "app folder" access, in which case it would only be able to access the contents of the special app folder that gets created for it automatically. You can find more information here. App folders are empty by default.

The connection speed any particular client sees to the Dropbox API servers will depend on a number of different factors, such as their network connection/ISP, network conditions and routing, etc. These are not things Dropbox itself can control, and may vary over time. There are some potential optimizations the developer…

Thanks for sharing that. From the screenshot, I see you're loading HTML from the Dropbox web site in your IDE output window itself. The Dropbox web site should only be loaded in the system web browser. I can't offer support for your platform or IDE themselves as those aren't made by Dropbox, so you may need to refer to the…

@"amzp" I don't have any news on this feature request.

The Dropbox API does offer the ability to create and retrieve shared links programmatically. To create a shared links for a file or folder, you should call the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint. To retrieve existing shared links, you would call /2/sharing/list_shared_links. By the way, those are links to…

Dropbox is no longer offering the option for creating new long-lived access tokens. Dropbox is now issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. You can find more information on this migration here. This applies whether the app is in development or production status.…

@"edodgen" I was looking through your code, and I see you're using 'response.matches' to access the search matches. What version number of the SDK are you using? If you're using v6 or greater, you should instead access the matches as 'response.result.matches'. Also, I notice you're using parameters from FilesSearchArg…

If I understand, it sounds like you're calling 'filesSearchV2' with a particular 'query' that is expected to match something in the connected account, but 'response.matches' is coming back empty. Is that correct? In that case, it would be best to open a ticket here from the affected account and include the options you are…

Can you share the name and version number of the web browser you're using to open the https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize... page when this fails? A screenshot of the issue you're seeing may also be helpful for context. Thanks!

I'll send this along as a feature request to update the API to support read-only access for these resources for accounts with unverified email addresses, but I'm not aware of any such current plans and I can't promise if or when that might be implemented. To unblock this for your own account, you can manually verify the…

@"jraymonds" First, you should decide if you need your app to be linked to the team or linked to the user. When you use any "team scopes", the app would be linked to the entire team itself. If you don't use any team scopes, the app would be linked to the user account only. If you only need access to user functionality,…

@"rschuber" Здравко is correct; Dropbox doesn't officially support a way of programmatically controlling the desktop client like that. You can use the Dropbox API instead though, which communicates directly with the Dropbox servers instead of the local Dropbox client. The Getting Started and File Access guides may be…

@"tranvu" The team just deployed a fix to the Embedder. Please try again now and let me know if you're still seeing any issues. Thanks!

This should be fixed now. Please let me know if you're still seeing any issues now. Thanks!

Yes, you can use a group ID in a MemberSelector.DropboxId for UpdateFolderMemberAsync, like this: MemberSelector.DropboxId memberSelector = new MemberSelector.DropboxId(groupId);MemberAccessLevelResult updateMemberResult = await client.Sharing.UpdateFolderMemberAsync( sharedFolderId: sharedFolderId, member: memberSelector,…

@"tranvu" Thanks for the report! The team is currently working on an issue that may be causing this problem for you. I'll follow up here once I have news on that.

This is an issue on Dropbox's side. This isn't something you would need to address on your side. Engineering is working on it.

@"Esikhoob" A 'path/malformed_path' error would indicate that the path value is invalid due to not being formed correctly; for example, this can occur if there is whitespace at the end of the path value. A 'path/not_found' error would indicate that the path value is properly formed, but nothing was found at the specified…

Thanks for following up and sharing that. For reference, the URL parameters for shared links like that are documented here.

Thanks for the information!

I can't offer support for pandas or vaex themselves as they are not made by Dropbox. I suggest referring to the documentation for those for information on their capabilities.

The files_download_zip method works like the files_download method, in that the second value it returns is the response object. To access the data from the response object, you would access the 'content' field like you did in your other code snippet. So, in this case, it would be 'zipFile.content'. Beyond that, refer to…

This error message is referring to specifying what account on the Business team to operate on behalf of. For reference, when using any "team scopes", the resulting access token is connected to an entire Dropbox Business team, not an individual account. So, when using a team-scoped access token to access user-specific…

Yes, using files_list_folder/files_list_folder_continue and files_download (or files_download_to_file) requires more API calls so it would be less performant. The files_download_zip method would return the requested data the same way files_download would, except that it would be zip data that you would need to unzip to…

The Dropbox API supports uploading files up to 350 GB in size. There isn't a way to use the API to upload files larger than that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it and I'll follow up here once I have any updates.

I see you're getting a 'not_file' error, which means: "We were expecting a file, but the given path refers to something that isn’t a file." It looks like the ".parquet" is not a file, but rather a sort of folder, possibly referred to as a "package" or "bundle" in some environments. That being the case, to download that you…

@"Impulsum Support" The Dropbox API will accept whatever file data your app provides, exactly as it provides it; it will not perform any additional encoding or decoding. If you supply base64-encoded data, the uploaded data will still have that same base64 encoding. If you wish to upload a non-base64-encoded file, but your…
