Searching using search_v2 not searching in all directory
When i use the api search_v2 to search for a file by file name it do search only on the APP Folder that was created by api, and it does not search in the whole Dropbox.
Any solution for this?
Thanks to Здравко for helping troubleshoot this.
amjadkhalil If you're still unable to get the expected results, we can help look into this specifically. In that case, you can open an API ticket here and share the following details:
- the registered name of the API app for the access token you're using
- the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s) and parameter value(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the affected account ID(s)
- the output you are currently getting
- a sample of the expected output
There is no reason any shared folder (either shared by you or shared to you) to be something limiting. I just checked and everything seems to work fine.
You can look for the issue further, as trying to reach the particular file where you are expecting something to be found. Are you able to navigate, using your application, to there? If there is some issue, what's the error message, returned by API?
Am getting this error message:
Error in call to API function "files/search_v2": This API function operates on a single Dropbox account, but the OAuth 2 access token you provided is for an entire Dropbox Business team. Since your API app key has team member file access permissions, you can operate on a team member's Dropbox by providing the "Dropbox-API-Select-User" HTTP header or "select_user" URL parameter to specify the exact user <https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams>.
