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.
-
@"ThaiNguyen" Здравко is correct, if you need access for a long period of time without the user present, you should request and use refresh tokens. For reference, 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…

Using the AsMember method is the right way to set the "Dropbox-API-Select-User" header with the .NET SDK. Your code itself looks fine, but the issue may be with the value you're using. Make sure your "request.AsMember" variable is properly set to the team member ID of the team member you wish to call on behalf of. For…
-
@"ThatBritishOne" Здравко is correct, you can control the folder hierarchy where you upload a file by using the "path" value. For example, if you want to upload a file named "newbackup" into a folder named "10-24-2022" which is inside a folder named "Backups", the "path" value should be "/Backups/10-24-2022/newbackup".
-
Thanks for the feedback! I can't offer specific insight on why any particular functionality wasn't implemented, but I'll pass this along as a feature request for a batch version of /2/sharing/list_folder_members. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
-
You shouldn't need to upgrade your SDK because of that search disruption. If you're still seeing search issues, feel free to open an API ticket with details for help.
-
Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you got this working. No further action is required on your part for this thread.

I see your app currently processes the OAuth app authorization flow inside a web view, instead of the system browser. The OAuth app authorization flow should be processed in the user's system browser. See here for more information. Processing the OAuth app authorization flow inside a web view is not officially supported…

Dropbox selects certain partner apps for inclusion on that page. I can't make any promises, but feel free to open a ticket from the account that owns the app and we can send along the request.
-
I see you're getting an error "Failed to create SSL/TLS secure channel", which indicates your system wasn't able to establish a secure connection to the Dropbox API servers for the HTTPS requests needed to perform API calls. This may be because your system doesn't support a sufficient version of TLS. For reference, Dropbox…

That field is referring to restricting certain members from being listed in the team directory. You can find more information on this feature in this help center article, under the "How to hide members from your team directory" section.
-
@"WCByrne" Unfortunately there still isn't a way to register these programmatically. For reference though, for the case of subdomains at least, you can register just the main domain, e.g., example.com, which would enable use of the Chooser on any subdomain of example.com, e.g., sub1.example.com, sub2.example.com,…

First, for reference, note that there are two changes covered in that post, so I'll clarify each. While we started these at the same time, they are not technically tied together and can be applied separately: * Permissions/Scopes change: New apps can only be registered as scoped apps, and existing apps can be migrated to…
-
@"feltj16" For reference, an "upload session" is a way to upload a large file by doing so in pieces. That is, each individual request would only contain one portion of the file. The "offset" of an upload session indicates how much of the file has been uploaded so far. (Also, if you only need to upload small file(s), you…
-
@"Jay0203" Yes, Здравко is correct. For reference, you can also find this in the /oauth2/token documentation, in the 'refresh_token' field in the 'Returns' section.
-
It looks like you're attempting to run the "OauthBasic" example from the Dropbox .NET SDK here. That's an example meant to show how a server-side app can process the OAuth app authorization flow to receive an access token and refresh token for making API calls. I understand that can be tricky to set up from scratch, so I…
-
The /2/files/upload endpoint allows an app to upload a file to Dropbox by supplying the file data in the API call request body. The example in the documentation shows how one might do so by using curl to upload the contents from a file on the local filesystem, but that is not a requirement. Exactly where/how you get the…
-
Thanks for your patience while the team looks into this. It sounds like what you're running in to is a per-link limit, so the team suggests increasing the time between requests and/or adding a backoff.
-
@"olavolsf" To retrieve a refresh token, make sure you set 'token_access_type=offline' on the /oauth2/authorize URL initially. If you don't set that, it will default to 'online' in which case a refresh token is not returned. There's an example earlier in this thread, but we also just published a new blog post showing how…
