Is /save_url endpoint going to be removed in API v2?
My app is currently using the /save_url endpoint in API v1 to save files to Dropbox from a given URL. That is, you don't send the file directly, instead just the URL.
But today, when I checked the docs of the upcoming API v2, I couldn't see any endpoint with this feature. There is only /upload endpoint which takes the content of the file directly.
Is uploding a file from a given URL feature going to be removed with the API v2?

API v2 isn't finished yet, so it's still missing some functionality. We will definitely add an equivalent of /save_url. Stay tuned!

Any news on adding /save_url equivalent to API v2? In case I need that functionality, should I use API v1 for the moment?
