The endpoint for uploading files via dropbox web client has been changed?

Hello!

 

I monitor user's requests for upload files via dropbox web client in browser (because of enterprise policy). Earlier, I just analyze the http request to /chunked_upload endpoint. The query contained file name, chunk number, chunks count and other useful information. But now when I try to upload a file to my personal storage I see requests to other endpoint: /upload_web_file_block. I don't find any information about this endpoint. Please, give me some explanations if it possible. And one more little question - can I configure dropbox web client to use the old endpoint?

 

Thanks in advance.

  • The implementation details of the Dropbox web site are subject to change without notice, and may not always use the standard public Dropbox API. The /upload_web_file_block endpoint is not part of the public API, so I don't have any documentation to share for that.

    It's also not possible to configure the implementation of the Dropbox web site like this.
