Dropbox Transfer API
Hi there, as developer of Dropshare (https://dropshare.app), I'd love to see an API for Dropbox Transfer (https://dropbox.com/transfer). Any plans for that?

@Greg-DB are there any engineers from the Transfer team on these forums? If not, I'll highly recommend you all consider it. Unity, the game engine, has done it with success. We, users, are able to discuss in real time with the engineers responsible for implementing and managing features. This indirection where you have to forward issues seems incredibly inefficient, given that you only seems to send them things and they never (ever) seem to get back to us with any information. It's been a month and no word on this.

6 years agohomedeck We don't currently have Dropbox product engineers for any particular product, such as Transfer, on the forum here, but thanks for the idea and feedback! I'll float this with them, as well as check in with them regarding the request itself.

Hey Greg-DB any word on this? Can you connect us directly to your engineering team? We're an image editing company and we could really use the Transfer feature. We currently use WeTransfer but we want to migrate away from them. If an engineer can reach out to us directly at <email redacted> that would be great.

homedeck No, unfortunately I still don't have an update on this feature request. I'll follow up here if/when I do. I can't connect you directly with engineering, but if you have any questions or issues regarding the Dropbox API you can always open an API ticket here.

Greg,
Unfortunately it seems Transfer Links are becoming more common across our clients over shared links. Our platform is currently not able to ingest transfer links via the existing API. This is growing support issue for us. Please provide an update about this topic. - Greg-DB4 years ago

spotloader2 I don't have any news on this feature request unfortunately. I'll follow up if/when I do.
For future reference, it is not necessary to post the same message in multiple threads.
- tjosten2 years agoNew member | Level 2It has been quite a while now. Any update on this? Can you at least say whether you’re even considering offering an API for this?

It’s been 6 years now. I guess it’s safe to assume that it will never happen.
