I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with: * the name and version number of the platform and SDK you are using * the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s) * the…

You can reconnect an existing application (in development mode or not) the same way you did originally. E.g., you can use the "Generate" button on the app's page on the App Console to connect it to your own account, or otherwise use the OAuth flow.

It looks like there wasn't an error, so the files should have been successfully saved to the home folder. I can't offer help with interacting with the filesystem in your environment though, as that's made by Dropbox, so I recommend referring to the documentation for your environment for that. For reference, you can see how…

Using the files_download_to_file method is a valid way to download a file from Dropbox to your local filesystem. When calling that, the first parameter 'download_path' should be the local filesystem path where you want to save the downloaded file. Regardless of where you're running this, that first parameter is how you…

It sounds like you're using some sort of web view/embedded browser in your environment. Unfortunately the Dropbox web site doesn't support such web views/embedded browsers, and the Dropbox OAuth app authorization flow must be processed in a supported system browser. You can find more information about this in the…

I'm not sure I understand your message. You mentioned paths with a "c:/" prefix, which seems to indicate a local Windows filesystem path, not a Dropbox path. Dropbox itself does not use letter-based drive roots like "c:". For information on interacting with and detecting changes on the Dropbox filesystem, I recommend…

I'm closing this thread as a duplicate of this one.

Thanks for the report! It sounds like you've connected the account to the app without the "files.metadata.read" scope, which is required for receiving the relevant information in the webhook notification. (I'll also ask the team to see if we can update the implementation to skip sending empty notifications like this to…

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a method for that for heic files.

Thanks for the post! I'll pass this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.

You can find the methods available in the Dropbox Java SDK in its documentation here. For example, to list a team's groups, you would use groupsList and groupsListContinue. And to list the members of a group, you would use groupsMembersList and groupsMembersListContinue.

@"ketanapatel" Здравко is correct, Dropbox is in the process of 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 requesting "offline" access though, in which…

Thanks for the feedback! I'll pass this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.

Thanks for sharing this. As you found, the Dropbox back-end needs to perform some additional work immediately after an operation like this. There isn't a way to check on or disambiguate this programmatically unfortunately, so please add a sufficient delay/retry. I know this is non-ideal and can be slow, so I'll send this…

It sounds like you're not properly encoding the value in the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' header. Please refer to this page information on doing so: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/json-encoding

I see, thanks for clarifying. No, I don't believe there's a way (at least not officially supported) to trigger that for newly created anchor elements like that. For dynamically creating embedded content, you should use the "Triggering the Embedder using JavaScript" method, instead of "Embedding Files or Folders using…

Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, downloading, and monitoring files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers These guides in particular may be useful for…

By default, API calls operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space". That is why you would get files uploaded to your own member folder by default. From your description, you want to upload them to the team space instead. You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead. To…

I'm not quite sure I understand the scenario. Would you be able to share a sample and/or some relevant code and any error/output of whatever you have so far? In general though, you should only need to load the "dropins.js" once per page, so you may want to set/use some local variable to indicate if you've already loaded…

If you've received a file ID from somewhere, it may be best to record the account that was associated when receiving that file ID. For example, if you are reading from the event log, and are taking the file ID from events about files there, you should also read out and save the account ID for the associated account from…

@"spotloader2" I don't have any news on this feature request unfortunately. I'll follow up if/when I do. For future reference, it is not necessary to post the same message in multiple threads.

Files that aren't shared won't be explicitly listed as having an owner. Files that aren't shared are just implicitly considered to be owned by the user account that contains the files.

@"FARO" Здравко is correct; that code is an "authorization code", which can only be used once each. You should process that and instead store and re-use the "refresh token", which can be used repeatedly. Check out the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.

[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72758417/how-to-upload-file-using-an-array-with-binary-data-file-object-to-dropbox-usin ] When uploading a file to Dropbox using the Dropbox API /2/files/upload endpoint, the app needs to supply several different types of things, including: * the parameters…

@"divyesh" Thanks for the feedback. The Dropbox Chooser still doesn't offer this functionality, but this has been sent along as a feature request.

@"GRDagonese" Please reach out to the creator of that app for support for it.

This is available on the API itself via /2/files/tags/get, but this hasn't been built in to the Java SDK in particular yet. I'll ask the team to get that updated, but I can't promise a timeline for that. I'll follow up here once I have any updates on that.
