Gian-Luca, thanks for asking this! The way our team has been thinking about API v2 is that we want to make the API as simple as possible. In this case, that means using fewer HTTP verbs. Looking at the question from a different angle, what are the advantages of using GET? Here are a few possibilities: * GET is more…

We managed to test this on a non-updated Windows Phone 8.1, and the Chooser works fine there too. An update to the JS library should come out early next week, at which point the Chooser should just work by default on Windows Phone 8.1. Thanks much for pointing this out and hanging in there while we tested!
-
Okay, we actually managed to reproduce the behavior you're seeing. The alert was indeed the problem, though I don't understand how. (The alert on the background page seems to have blocked the Chooser page from actually closing?) In any case, this works for us too on Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1. We're trying to track down a…
-
That change won't matter on my test device, since the Chooser "popup" (not really) never closes, so that code is never executed. I was unable to get the phone emulator to connect to the internet on my Surface, so I gave up testing there and used a real device instead. I imagine the emulator uses the latest IE also, so your…

It's possible the Lumia Denim update is the important difference. The page fails in the tests I've done, so we can't enable it for all Windows Phone 8.1 users. I think that for now we'll leave things as-is.
-
Would you mind browsing to http://www.whatsmyua.com/ and copying the user agent? I'm trying to figure out why this would work on your device and not ours.
-
What device are you using?
-
Tyhrstan, we can't reproduce this behavior. I've created a simple page (http://wpchooser.site44.com/) that overrides isBrowserSupported as you did, and it doesn't seem to work on the Windows Phone 8.1 device I'm testing on. Would you mind trying that same page to see if it works for you? If so, could you provide details…
-
Do you have a question? Or are you proposing a way to make the Chooser work on Windows Phone 8.1? (If so, please provide some code so we can see what you're talking about.)

There's no pre-built UI for it. The most relevant Core API calls are probably https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#metadata to list the files and https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#media to get a link to the photo content. Unfortunately, the API doesn't expose anything relating to photo albums, so you'd…

I don't understand your question. You should be able to close any file that you have open. Are you getting some sort of error message? If so, can you share the code and the error you're seeing?
-
What's the exact error message and stack trace you're seeing?
-
I'm not that familiar with VBA, but I think this should be possible. The https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#shares endpoint will give you the same kind of link as "Share - Send Link" in Dropbox itself. Before you can call that, you'll need to create an API app and get an access token for the user who owns the…

Manikandan, were you still not able to find the file via the link in my previous reply?
-
From https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/ios, download the zip file. Inside the zip file, there's a folder called DropboxSDK. Inside that folder is a folder called Classes, and you'll find DBRestClient.m in there.
-
There should be a folder in the zip file called DropboxSDK. Within that folder, there's a folder called Classes. The code lives in there. Specifically, loadDelta is in the file DBRestClient.m, and you should be able to add a new parameter there.
-
For the Core SDK, yes. The download is here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/ios (Ninja edit: Sorry, you did already mention that you're using the Core SDK, so you're good.)
-
I just mean editing the code for the iOS Core SDK.
-
Which SDK are you using? If it's the Core SDK, you might be able to add the path_prefix parameter pretty easily yourself. For the Sync API, you can register a path observer on whatever path you want. (Underneath, the Sync API still retrieves the full set of changes via /delta, but it will only fire your observer for…
-
That makes sense; thanks. This is something being actively considered.
-
We'll certainly consider this, but I'm curious if you've considered keeping track of revs for syncing. This has a few advantages over using timestamps: * It allows you to sync correctly with more than one computer (without having to have strict clock synchronization requirements). * It allows you to sync correctly even if…
-
See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#oa2-authorize. If you're using the token flow, which is intended for client-side apps (including JavaScript in the browser), then the access token and other parameters are included in the URL fragment (the portion of the URL after the # sign). If you use the code flow (more…

Did you ever learn anything from the first customer about their network setup? Among the other customers who are seeing this issue, is there any commonality in their network setup? (Perhaps they all work at the same company, for example?) We haven't heard a lot of reports of this, so I assume it's not a widespread issue.…
-
Sorry for the delay! In the future, I'd recommend posting API questions in this forum, where responses are generally much faster. My guess would be something about the networking set up for this particular user. Do you have any details about their environment? Perhaps they have an unusual set of trusted certs or they're…

Just call https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#account-info in your preferred library.

Sela, you can just "view source" in whatever web browser you use. It's just JavaScript in a <script> tag.
-
If you're asking whether dbhelper.site44.com is secure... you can read the source code yourself, but you should always be wary about using someone else's tool like this. You might want to copy the source and run your own version of the tool. Or just switch to using OAuth 2. :-)
-
To get an OAuth 1 token and secret, you'll need to go through the OAuth flow. If you just want a token and secret for your own account, I built an app to help with that: https://dbhelper.site44.com/. If possible, I always recommend that people use OAuth 2 instead, though.
-
Please do share your code. But I would strongly suggest switching to either PLAINTEXT signing or OAuth 2. HMAC signing is difficult to get right, and the issue likely relates to URL encoding.
