Dropbox is no longer offering the option for creating new long-lived access tokens, and does not offer an option for setting an arbitrary access token expiration length. Dropbox is switching to only issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. You can find more…

Thanks for the report! Yes, these do have an effective limit as you found, but it looks like they're not properly documented/handled on the API. I'll ask the team to fix that up.

@"pcooperuk" I don't have an update on this request, but I'll pass your feedback along to the team. Thanks!

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it and I'll follow up here once I have an update for you.

@"Julian Li" Dropbox refresh tokens do not expire, so you can re-use them for long-term access without repeated manual operation.

@"Julian Li" Dropbox is no longer offering the option for creating new long-lived access tokens. Dropbox is switching to only issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. You can find more information on this migration here. Apps can still get long-term access by…

This is still open with engineering, but I don't have an update to report yet. I'll follow up here once I do.

The /2/team/members/list_v2[/continue] endpoints only return members of the connected team. Any member profile returned is for a member of the team, and accounts that are not a member of the team will not be returned there. Note that you can set include_removed: True to also list members that have been removed. You can…

@"Polas" As Здравко noted, it appears you are attempting to use /oauth2/token in your browser, which won't work. Note that while /oauth2/authorize is a web page that the user would access in their browser, /oauth2/token is not; /oauth2/token is an OAuth endpoint that you would call programmatically. For instance, the…

Dropbox doesn't offer video tutorials for the Dropbox API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. Regarding the issue you're currently seeing, the http.Start() line starts a local HTTP listener to receive the result of the authorization flow…

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to retrieve file event history like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request as well. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. (The Dropbox Business API does offer /2/team_log/get_events[/continue] but that's for the team activity log, and…

Given your redactions and descriptions, it seems like you're sending a parameter with the name being your app key and the value being your app secret, however that is not the correct formatting. When calling /oauth2/token to exchange the authorization code for an access token/refresh token with the code flow like this, you…

@"Excelmate" No, unfortunately I don't have any changes to report on this.

There are examples included with the Dropbox .NET SDK that show how to handle various pieces of functionality in different scenarios, such as the authorization flow as well as uploading and download files. You can find all of the example code here:…

@"abhinovClairvoyant" Здравко is correct. For that method you should use asMember​ instead of asAdmin​, as you're operating on the member account, not as an admin (whether or not the member happens to be an admin). Give that a try and let us know if you're still running in to any issues.

Thanks for the report! When you have the official Dropbox mobile app installed, it will process the app authorization flow. Unfortunately, the authorization flow in the official mobile apps doesn't currently support team scopes. As you found, you can workaround this by uninstalling the official app, but I'll bring this up…

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

Thanks for the additional information!

The team is looking into this, but they're asking if you can share a little more context on the failure rate you're seeing. Specifically, you mentioned it "does not work in 80% of the times", but can you offer some more details on that? For instance, are you always seeing an 80% failure rate on these calls, or does it only…

It sounds like you're trying to use the Sign API, so you can reach the right people for help using this page: https://faq.hellosign.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Dropbox does not offer this on the public API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Thanks for confirming! We'll look into it and I'll follow up here with any updates for you.

Given that the access token no longer works even in the environment where it originally worked, it sounds like the access token was likely revoked. By default, Dropbox API access tokens for your app(s) don't become invalid and yield 'invalid_access_token' by themselves, but there a number of different ways that a Dropbox…

No, there isn't a way to retrieve the scope information programmatically. If you're the developer of the app, you can view and configure the scopes for the app on the app's page on the App Console. You can also specify a more specific sub-set of scopes to request programmatically using the 'scope' parameter on…

Thanks for following up. Unfortunately it appears the request ID is not actually getting set there for some reason. Can you confirm if you're performing these calls using an app owned by the Dropbox account you're using to post in the forum here? We can try to look up the failures that way instead.

La llamada a la API de Dropbox para cargar un archivo en una sola solicitud, /2/files/upload, admite la carga de archivos de hasta 150 MB de tamaño, por lo que debería poder admitir un archivo de 13 MB. Acabo de intentar cargar un archivo PDF de 50 MB usando ese punto final y se cargó correctamente. También pude leer el…

Thanks for the report. Can you share several request IDs (see here) for some of these failures? That would help us check on it.

Update: the timeout has been increased to 15 minutes.

When you using the files_download (or files_download_to_file) functionality, Dropbox will return the exact data that it has for the file. Dropbox does not modify the data that it receives when a file is uploaded, so if the embedded metadata is not present in the returned data, it means that it was not present when the file…
