PNG transparency in thumbnails
Hi
im using the Javascript API to grab a few thumbnails for images in my app folder
however wehn i grab the thumbnail for a png with transparency / alpha the transparent part shows as white in the thumbnail
this is the method i am using to get the thumbs
dbx.filesGetThumbnail({path:path,size:{['.tag']:'w640h480'},format:{['.tag']:'png'}})
the raw images do have transparency as i have check by replacing the line above with
dbx.filesDownload({path:path})
and i get all images corently with their transparency.
does the API method filesGetThumbnail support thumbs with transparency ?
or do i have a mistake in the above?
Thanks
Adam
- The API doesn't support transparency in thumbnails unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for checking in. Unfortunately, we have no new updates regarding this feature request.
Any news in 2023?
This is a very important issue for us!
lol you should probably just abandon hope that this will happen. we moved our app from the dropbox back end and over to s3 / AWS much more flexible of a product
