Download folder as ZIP in api v2?
One of my apps that i'm trying to migrate from API v1 to v2 uses the v1 functionality where you can download https://content.dropboxapi.com/1/files/auto/path/to/folder, and dropbox sends you a ZIP fi...
Hi Tim, API v2 doesn't offer zip folder downloads, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
(Also, I'm not sure exactly what functionality you're referring to on v1, as there's no documented/supported zip folder download functionality on the /files endpoint you're referring to. Perhaps you're referring to the ability to download a zip from a shared link for a folder using the dl or raw URL parameters? That's unrelated to API version.)

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe Dropbox API v2 now offers the ability to download folders as zips:

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be a corresponding method for this endpoint.

I am confused as to what the "version" is above this download_zip documentation (It says Version1 -- however it is on the Dropbox API v2 page.

Our apologies if the terminology is confusing.
We actually have two ways of versioning our API. One is the overall API version. The second (and the one you mention in your post) refers to the endpoint itself and has its own versioning.
In other words, you're using v2 of the overall API, but v1 of the download_zip endpoint.
