Dropbox REST API to update file's metadata

Using /2/files/move_v2 is the correct way to rename a file, even if you don't need to move its folder location.

For example, to rename a file inside a "Documents" folder, you would supply values like:

from_path:"/Documents/old_name", to_path:"/Documents/new_name"

Or, using the ID, you would still use move_v2, with values like:

from_path:"id:abcfileid", to_path:"/Documents/new_name"

Or, you can even use values relative to the parent folder ID, like:

from_path:"id:xyzfolderid/old_name", to_path:"id:xyzfolderid/new_name"

Fab...!

Yes, we  can rename a file in multiple ways but we either need to have a complete or relative path to file. What if I want to rename a file provided its id only? 

I mean other provders like google drive, one drive, box provide a way to deal with file metadata. Whereas, dropbox is providing only a way to access only file metadata but not to update it.

So I was wondering if there is any way to deal with such operation when I am having only the id of a file.

Thanking you in anticipation 

Thank you Greg for confirming this. It'd be great if you update me with a request number when you raise request for this feature.

Cheers..!
