Can't Find Files in Ruby dropbox_api
Hi folks. I have an API issue here. I'm using the Ruby gem dropbox_api. I've registered a Dropbox project for a folder in my Dropbox root path. I can't seem to list the files inside that root....
Hello Rich F.5,
When you use an access token from an API app with the “app folder" access type, you are correct that the root path of your API calls refers to your app's dedicated folder. For example, if I create an API app named “TestAppFolder” with the “app folder” access type, I will only have access to the folder located at the path /Apps/TestAppFolder while using the access token connected to that API app. If the app folder "TestAppFolder" is empty, no files or folders will be listed when calling the Dropbox API.
Would you be able to cross-check if the app folder you're attempting to access contains any files or folders?
Please note that when using an API app with access type 'app folder', each user gets their own separate app folder in their account when they authorize the app to connect. The app folders for different users of an app do not sync with each other.
OK I just had a look. I had a /myfolder and just found /Apps/myfolder paths. The true dropbox link I provided was for the first, which is why I cannot see this. This needs to be clear in documentation that these direct folders show up in /Apps. I will test this out.
