You can continue to use the website with a supported browser, but the syncing client will cease to work - anything updated on another computer or anything you are sharing through a shared folder will not update on that computer, and any file you add, edit or delete on that computer will not update on the website. Your only…

You need to follow this help article: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/531

(creating a team with shared folders) Thats your problem - the other devices don't seem to be using *your* account, they are using their own accounts and you are using Teams to share folders. Teams accounts do not get to share another accounts space, so you buying the 1Tb Pro upgrade will not benefit them at all. Your…

Dropbox isnt doing what Microsoft asks - I dont get why people think thats the case, Dropbox is a big enough business to make its own decisions on their own merits. Dropbox are dropping XP support because it makes sense for Dropbox to drop support for XP.

You arent sharing his account or any of the benefits he receives through upgrading that account - the shared folder exists in your account, and that is where you are uploading to, so your accounts limits come into effect. You dont get to share someone elses space.

Almost certainly an internal command that is currently undocumented - you shouldn't use it unless its documented somewhere public.

The problem you really have is that Dropbox sees each separate file action as a "sync operation", hence you receiving a webhook event for each file being deleted - if you want to fudge a concept such as a transaction onto the way Dropbox works then you arent really going to have much luck Im afraid. You are going to have…

Florence, you can't "permanently delete" files from the desktop or mobile clients, only the website - follow the instructions in the link I give at the top and the advice that Mark gives later on.

Sorry, the above sounds a little facetious, its not meant to be - read it in more a jokey manner please, thats the intention of the tone.

I googled "dropbox permanently delete" and the above link was top of the list. My wife always says I can produce better search results than her, but Im baffled as to how I do it... As for Dropbox making users have access to less and less in a way to force them to buy a Pro account, they have actually gone more the other…

Not sure why this guide is necessary, its all covered here - https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/delete-files 

Broken links have been noted and will be fixed - initial answer on an ObjectiveC SDK is "yes there will be one, its being worked on, eta a few months away" to paraphrase.

That has already been pointed out to the team, but thank you.

I have asked the question and will post when I get an answer.

You need to use the Dropbox API and choose which SDK is most appropriate for your use. https://www.dropbox.com/developers

You cant - the entire API is based around preventing you doing exactly that, you should never ask a user to enter their Dropbox username and password into a non-Dropbox provided authentication form. You have to do the auth via the OAuth system as shown in the documentation.

No, it isn't Im afraid.

I don't get it why the don't want my money... *sigh*

It means exactly what it says - the app has reached the maximum number of users allowed, and the developer needs to take action to increase the number of users allowed to use the apps API token. You cannot do anything, and Dropbox wont do anything to resolve the issue, the app developer needs to do something.

Yes, just fire off a GET request (via ajax or fetch, or your favourite http lib) to the exact public url for the file. Ensure the file is structured as JSON, and you should be able to either directly read the response as JSON, or you may have to JSON.parse() it, and theres your data. Then do your favourite JS redirect. The…

Dropbox is just about to stop allowing html files to be rendered via its shared links, so the HTML and Javascript route will be useless to you very very shortly as it will stop working. Why do you want to do this on Dropbox? Its a very small, quick project for a web developer and you could send proper 301/302/303 redirects.

The Dropbox SDK comes with its own dependencies - you hardly expect the Dropnox API to implement everything it needs to do itself, right? For example, AlamoFire is a very good http-communication framework that performs well, so Dropbox uses it rather than either roll their owm or use the tripe that Apple supplies. This is…

Are you doing this at work? Perhaps behind a proxy server?

Anything other than relative paths will leak data to you about the current users platform and configuration, so I doubt that you can get that info.

Any of them will allow you to fetch the file...

Geoffrey - shared folders count in full against your account quota - if its larger than your available space then you cannot accept the invite. Solomon - you need to delete files from your Dropbox or upgrade.

you say that the i need to download first and work on it? That is correct - Dropbox works at the file level, so you need to download the entire file if you want to work on it. Is this possible to access database file and applying searching techniques on it and showing in specific order in android app.? That's beyond the…

the main reason they were looking at dropbox is they are using it currently for their files so they "like and understand" it. Definitely sounds like a square peg round hole situation :) I guess I am lucky in that I am in a position to walk away from those sorts of clients these days! Dropbox is for files, they are now past…

They don't need to pay for a SQL Server, as SQL Server Express is fine for data sets up to 10GB and is entirely free for use (its not just limited to developer use as many think). It sounds like their entire company is based around this excel file and they aren't willing to change - if that is indeed the case, I would be…
