Hey TS L., it shouId be an integer value, however I believe that your inquiry echoes this discussion & pertains to the Dropbox API if I’m right in my understanding. If so, please feel free to ping me here & I’ll make sure to move your post under the relevant section on the Community. Thanks!

I like to know what is the value of the number of characters. Is the value always the same. Or it can be any value?

    Kindly advise what is the number of characters of Dropbox Account ID.

    Is the number  of characters  always the same for all the accounts?

      Thanks for circling back to us TS L.! If it’s not too much trouble for you, can you clarify how you’d wish to utilize this info, so as to further advise on how you could about on this matter?

      In my app, I want to verify that the account number is valid. One of the criterial used in my app is to verify the number of characters.

        TS L. The `account_id` value on the Dropbox API is always 40 characters long. 

        You can that documented in `FullAccount.account_id`, for instance, as returned by /2/users/get_current_account:

        account_id String(min_length=40, max_length=40)
