Is there any api to know whether a file contains restricted content?

Hi,

 

Is there any api to know whether a file contains restricted content before downloading api is hit?

 

Thanks in advance,

Bharath

    No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to check this ahead of time, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
