Thanks! It looks like you were using both the Core SDK and the Sync SDK. They both use API v1, so you'll want to replace both of them with a single API v2 SDK.

The new API v2 SDKs are built more like the Core SDKs, giving you direct access to the API calls for uploading and downloading files, among other operations. You'll need to implement whatever sync functionality you need on top of that.

You can find all of the information on using the Dropbox API v2 Objective-C SDK here:

Hi Greg K,

 

You mean on Dropbox V2 don't support api same addObserver (will notify when have any change on dropbox). :(

 

Thank,

    That's correct, the API v2 SDKs don't offer the exact same interface/functionality as the Sync SDKs did.

     

    You can replicate that functionality though, using listFolderLongpoll. That enables low-latency notification of changes in the account.

        Hi Greg K,

        I have issue, please help me :)

        Please image below :

        https://www.dropbox.com/s/7wgyh64a1oa68sx/Screen%20Shot%202016-10-27%20at%204.15.37%20PM.png?dl=0

        As you saw, one folder I create normally and one folder is created by SyncAPI.

         

        Problem: when I use dropbox api v2 

        [fileRoutes listFolder:kDropboxSyncFolder recursive:@(YES) includeMediaInfo:@(NO) includeDeleted:@(NO) includeHasExplicitSharedMembers:@(NO)]

         

        Result:  - with normal folder (above) response return only one folder

                      - with sync folder (below) reponse return all folder (include subfolders).

         

        You have anyway can create a sync folder? because I need uniform for new app and older app.

        Please help me :)

         

        Thanks,

        Vang
