Dropbox Transfer API

Hi Greg-DB ,

Last word on this was a year ago. We would also love to see Transfer incorporated in the API. I'm guessing it would take no more than 5 days work for a good software engineer plus x days of bureaucratic hassle 🤔

How do we get it moved up the list?

I'd also love to see support for Dropbox Transfer API

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.

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 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.

@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.

homedeck No, unfortunately I don't have any news on this request.

Hi @Greg, any word on this? We could really use this feature as WeTransfer has officially deprecated their API.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm passing this along to the team.

Given we are seeing spammers using Dropbox Transfer to host phishing files, API access shouldnt be an afterthought on a service like this.

We use the existing Dropbox API to check Dropbox files before releasing to end users.

Its not possible to do this with Transfer links so we are contemplating bouncing all emails that contain Dropbox transfer links.
