It shouldn't be possible to create a folder with the exact same path of an existing folder. I just tested that behavior and confirmed that the API is returning a 'path/conflict/folder' error in that case for me. Can you check if you have any unprintable/invisible characters in one of those paths? (For example, the Unicode…

This particular error includes the shared link metadata, so you would want to redact the shared link if you don't wish to post that. I've redacted it for you just in case. Anyway, this error says 'shared_link_already_exists' meaning that a new shared link was not created because one already exists. You can find error types…

Unfortunately I don't have more specific error information add here beyond the message that the parsing failed. The data shown here does appear to be valid JSON, but it's unclear if/how this may be being transformed when being set in the actual HTTPS request being sent. When I try this value myself with this endpoint just…

@"myfutcard" The length of the delay depends on a number of different factors, and so can vary over time, as well as across accounts, folders, etc. While in many cases it will not take hours, in some cases it may.

Yes, shared folders and team folders are both types of "namespaces". For a shared folder, the "namespace ID" is the same as the "shared folder ID" (and likewise, for team folders, the "namespace ID" is the same as the "team folder ID").

Can you share the full error message? You seem to have truncated the output here.

To list all namespaces (including both team folders and shared folders) for the team via the .NET SDK, you can use NamespacesListAsync/NamespacesListContinueAsync. And for reference, to just list the shared folders for a particular user, you can use ListFoldersAsync/ListFoldersContinueAsync.

A "request body: could not decode input as JSON" should indicate that the request body the app is sending is not valid JSON, and so could not be parsed by the Dropbox API server as the parameters for the call. The body you showed here appears to be valid JSON though, and I can't reproduce the issue using it; can you double…

Yes, you can use /2/files/list_folder[/continue] (files_list_folder/files_list_folder_continue and filesListFolder/filesListFolderContinue in the Python SDK and JavaScript SDKs, respectively) to list the contents under any particular path. You can use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings…

I see you opened a new thread for this. I'll follow up with you there.

The issue with these requests failing at 5 minutes should be fixed now. Please try again and let me know if you're still seeing that. Thanks!

If you need to download a file via the API, you can do so directly by using /2/files/download. That's files_download in the Python SDK, and filesDownload in the JavaScript SDK. If you do need to download a file from a URL instead of directly from an API call though, you can call /2/files/get_temporary_link to get a…

Thanks for the report! We'll look into it.

You're setting 'sizeLimit: 1024', meaning that the user can only select files smaller than 1024 bytes. Looking at the types of files in the screenshot you shared, they'd presumably be larger than that, so they'd be disabled. You can should remove the 'sizeLimit' option, or set it to a suitable higher value, as needed for…

@"averma" I see you opened a new thread for this, so I'll follow up with you there.

@"Stricnis" Thanks for the feedback! There are some implementation details of how the various parts of the Dropbox back-end are built and interact that can result in this, but I've sent this along to the team to see if we can improve this in the future.

The client will automatically perform the refresh process for you whenever needed, on any such call, so you do not need to dispose of your existing client.

This should be fixed in the latest version of the official Dropbox Android app, v262.2.2. Please update to that and let us know if you're still seeing any issues. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I can't make any promises, but I'll bring this up with the team to see if we can improve this in the future.

Dropbox user API access tokens enable access to the connected account. You can use the API to access anything in the connected account, including anything shared with that account. It also offers some functionality for interacting with content from shared links. I recommend reading the following guides for more…

I'm not sure I understand your question. Could you share some more context and show what you have so far as well as what isn't working, e.g., whatever error or unexpected output you're getting?

This is still open with the team, but I don't have an update on it. I'll follow up here once I do. There's no need to open another thread/issue for this. This thread serves as the external reference for this.

For the sake of privacy, some fields for some events are redacted like that. This is not a matter of your app's permissions and cannot be unredacted.

The Dropbox API is generally meant for users to connect to their own accounts, but Dropbox itself does offer sharing functionality that can be used to share content to users who don't have their own Dropbox accounts. In particular, shared links can be useful for that. You can also modify these links for different…

Things potentially interfering with your network connection wouldn't depend on how many files are in the connected account. I recommend checking for any such potential issues regardless of the file count. For reference, the Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, but if it rejects any particular call, it would…

@"juhaelee" I don't have any updates on the Embedder to share, but I'll pass this along as a feature request for an access token-based option like that. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

No, unfortunately that's not available via the API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

@"hassanrazadev" Thanks for the feedback!

The "changes" and "reset" responses are different conditions from different endpoints, so you'll need to implement handling for both of them. The "changes: true" response from /2/files/list_folder/longpoll just tells you when something has changed for the supplied cursor, so that you can go call…
