Setting custom properties on files in App Folder

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to set custom properties on files uploaded to the App Folder belonging to my app, but according to the API docs, none of the file properties endpoints "support apps with the app folder permission."

 

I'm wondering if there's an alternative way to set properties that are using the App Folder?

    No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to set custom properties like this via app folder apps, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
