Drop box core api limitation
Hello.
Is any drop box file size limit for file upload using the drop box api core?
The limit of 2-16GB for a free acount for all fils uploaded to a drobBox acount is available also for the dropBox core api?

See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#chunked-upload. There's no limit on the size of file you can upload (except the size of the user's Dropbox), but an upload has to complete within 48 hours, so there's a practical limit based on how much data you can upload in that time.

Hello thansk for your response. I am not using the rest api for upload. I am using the following code:
File inputFile = new File("License.txt"); FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile); try { DbxEntry.File uploadedFile = client.uploadFile("/magnum-opus.txt", DbxWriteMode.add(), inputFile.length(), inputStream); System.out.println("Uploaded: " + uploadedFile.toString()); } finally { inputStream.close(); } The no size limit is also available for the above code? - Steve M.10 years ago

The limits are the same whether you make the HTTP requests yourself or use a library to do it.
