@"Lpotter66" Wow that's way worse than me! And nope, I haven't found a proper solution. Have you tried tapping the "Clear Cache" button in settings and are you sure the space isn't being taken up by offline files? If so, then you're in the same situation as me. Also out of curiosity, are you a big Camera Uploads user too?…

I noticed that my Dropbox app was out of date so I just updated it. In this new version I then tried "Clear Cache" again. It also did nothing. But somehow in the process the Dropbox app's "Documents & Data" storage has increased from 1.36GB to 1.37GB... it really seems like it's just going to keep growing forever with no…

Thanks for the reply @"Hannah". I should have mentioned in my post that I had already tried that. I tried it again and can confirm that it did nothing. I still see 1.36GB of "Documents & Data" being used by the Dropbox app. It had no effect. What exactly is it supposed to do? If the cache it clears is the same storage…

@"Greg-DB" thank you very much for the detailed replied. Also I just noticed that my screenshot from before is now out of date and the current page shows all plans as having unlimited access to productivity apps! This is far less confusing and maps to my understanding of reality. The '1 billion API calls/month' part is…

I still see this old post show up in Google searches about Dropbox's API limits. Was trying to answer a question and found myself here. I'd like some clarification about what the API limits for different Dropbox accounts are. This page says only business accounts have a Data Transport limit. However I noticed that…

mark2mark, Greg already linked to the docs on this, but just to be clear...you don't have to use the UI for sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings type of links. If you get a shared link with that API and then replace "?dl=0" with "?raw=1" that links will function almost identically to the 4-hour temporary links. That'll…

vibh, You seem to be doing things all yourself with curl. It might be easier for you to use some PHP bindings to the Dropbox API that someone else has made. There doesn't seem to be an official Dropbox PHP binding, but this looks popular and sort of active on github: https://github.com/kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk You can…

In my experience Josh, these rate limits are very very high. They also apply to business and personal equally. (Business just gets another extra rate limit) They seem only intended at stopping just blatant abuse or get triggered by atomoticty requirements when uploading files. Just wait for the retry-after period specified…

Marco, Boxcryptor did update the app, your just using the old version. Notice the "classic" in the boxcryptor name? The boxcryptor developer has abandoned that version. Just use latest non-classic version of boxcryptor. The classic version has even been removed from app stores. Dropbox announced the v1 removal two years…

What do you want to do with the file at Dropbox's shared links? Since its just a public link, all you should really be able to get from the link is the file. (the path/permisions/etc of the file in the user's dropbox are not public) To just read the file, take the URL and replace "?dl=0" with "?raw=1". You can try "dl=1"…

Also, Josh, this contains the most detailed information on the Dropbox API upload rate limit I can find: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyeu6wxxf3sy391/Dropbox_Business_Plans_Sales_Guide.pdf?dl=0 (edit: the above link used to point to digital.leadmagz.com but its since been removed, so hosting a copy) Information elsewhere is…

@Greg Just to jump in here...it seems this developer has a regular "Dropbox API" app that'll be contributing to a business user's team's overall API upload limit. But from your post, it sounds like only "Dropbox Business API" apps, which can only be added by a team's admin, can get information regarding that team's API…

maybe the reply from DropBox is gzip or deflate compressed? look for the "Content-Encoding" header in the REQUEST youre making. Though not really sure what is up with node pipes maybe its so low level you have to do your own http parsing or something. But in general read the request and response headers to help figure out…

ok I found some sort of business PDF online that looks meant Dropbox sales people...and that's been the best source of information on what this is. Not the documentation for developers, but something meant for Dropbox sales people lol. It sounds like this is supposed to apply to "Data migration and on-premises backup…
