Please clarify what you mean when you say you are "still facing issues". For example, share any unexpected error or output.

The Dropbox Chooser is a way to allow end-users to select specific files/folders and send them to the app. Based on your description, it sounds like that's not exactly what you're looking for. The Dropbox Embedder might be a better solution for you though. That lets you supply a (view-only) shared link, e.g., for a…

Yes, that interface may have been updated in a version of the SDK after the one you were using. You can find the latest documentation here. Anyway, I'm glad to hear this seems to resolve the main issue.

That should be addressed in v5.4.4, per the release notes. Please give that a try and let us know if you run in to any issues. Thanks!

Uploading 100-150 files at the same may exhaust the system or network connection, as each one requires its own HTTPS request. I recommend limiting how many you perform simultaneously. You may want to experiment a bit to see what a good limit is for your scenario/environment.

This was a bug that could occur with versions before v5.3.0 of the Dropbox Java SDK. Please update to at least v5.3.0, or preferably the latest version, currently v5.4.4, and try again.

You can find some more information about this kind of access under FolderSharingInfo, e.g., under FolderMetadata.sharing_info as returned by /2/files/get_metadata: "traverse_only Boolean Specifies that the folder can only be traversed and the user can only see a limited subset of the contents of this folder because they…

No, those endpoints are deprecated and should no longer be used. You can use /2/team_log/get_events[/continue] endpoints for more detailed event information though. And no, the Dropbox API does not offer billing/transaction information, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be…

Can you clarify what happens when it "pauses the upload process after certain time"? For instance, do you get any error/output? Also when you say you upload a "large number of photos/files", how many are you uploading simultaneously?

Using /2/sharing/list_folders and /2/sharing/list_folders/continue is the right way to list the shared folders for an account. That only lists the shared folders themselves, not their contents. To list the contents of any particular folder, shared or not, you should use /2/files/list_folder and…

@"Ivan_" Здравко is correct; as long as you provide the necessary credentials (refresh token, app key, and app secret if you didn't use PKCE, or just refresh token and app key if you did use PKCE), then the Dropbox .NET SDK client will handle the refresh process for you automatically (that is, it will automatically…

I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox Saver, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with: * the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s) * the full text of any error or unexpected output

@"diabolusss" No, I don't have news on this right now. I'll follow up here if/when I do.

@"musidelics_0" Здравко is correct. You can use a refresh token to automatically get new short-lived access tokens. For instance, if you're using the official Dropbox Python SDK, and supply the necessary credentials, e.g., as shown in this example, the SDK will handle the refresh process for you automatically.

A 'missing_scope' error indicates that while the app is permitted to use that scope, the particular access token you're using to make the API call does not have that scope granted. Also, be aware that just adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens. That…

@"Здравко" Unfortunately I don't think the API has anything that would be useful for this. Anyone seeing an issue like this may want to contact support directly.

No, the Dropbox API does not offer functionality like that either. Like with total sizes/counts, you'd need to list everything and apply whatever sorting/filtering you want in your code. We'll consider this a feature request as well.

@"Bryantsssss" No, unfortunately there isn't a way to do that either, but we'll consider it a feature request.

The route you get to the Dropbox servers may be different than the route to get to the servers for other services, so a comparison with other services may not be applicable. Anyway, Dropbox does not offer the ability to debug this from the Dropbox servers. You'd need to do any debugging on your side. Looking at the code…

The access token/refresh token shouldn't have any impact on that. The Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, but it works by responding with a rate limit error response to any call it needs to reject, not by slowing down the connection speed. Your connection speed to Dropbox depends on the routing you get between…

@"Bryantsssss" No, unfortunately there's no option for that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

@"Bryantsssss" Exactly how the code should look will depend on your scenario and what you're trying to build. You can find the full instructions, plus a live working example, on the Embedder page here. Here's what a minimal example of triggering the Embedder using JavaScript might look like: <!DOCTYPE html><html> <script…

@"akunbeben" No, I don't have any news on this.

Thanks for following up. You originally replied in a thread regarding using the Dropbox API search functionality in the API section of the forum, but I see you're actually referring to using the Dropbox web site, which may work a bit differently than the public Dropbox API. For help with the Dropbox web site, please…

The Dropbox API search functionality doesn't have a parameter to control that behavior, nor documentation or a guarantee on the specific expected behavior for that. However in my testing it does currently seem to behave as you want, that is, when specifying multiple tags in the "query", it is returning only files that…

@"jayeshbhatia" You can export a Google Sheet from Dropbox using /2/files/export. (That's a link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.) As Здравко said though, reading/parsing…

@"BPCABA" There was a recent search disruption, but it should be working again now. Please try again and contact support if you're still seeing any issues.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74183804/way-to-get-statistics-on-all-files-and-folders-from-dropbox-api ] Unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer functionality for these specific queries. It currently does not offer a way to list starred items, to get the total size of the contents of…

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "it doesn't work"? Are you referring to elements not being rendered properly as seen in that screenshot? If so, what application are you using to render that PDF? The process of uploading files to Dropbox is separate from how you then view those files. For reference, the…

@"Kuroobi20" Здравко is correct; for reference, you can find information on using these "dl" and "raw" parameters on shared links here.
