Dropbox Community ModeratorThe /2/files/restore endpoint is the right way to restore a previous version of a file. An 'invalid_revision' error like that should indicate that the value you supplied in the "rev" parameter isn't usable though, e.g., it's not an actual revision value, or it refers to a version that cannot be restored (e.g., because it doesn't exist anymore).
If something's not working as expected/documented, I'll be happy to look into it, but I'd need some more information. In that case, reply with:
- the name and version number of the SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output
Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Actually I am trying to restore a deleted file through this API.
But its showing this "invalid_revision" error.
Also the file I am trying to restore is deleted within 30 days. (2-3 days before)
What can be the reason, anything to help here?
I am using Dropbox Java SDK v4.0.1
Error message I am getting - Exception in 2/files/restore: "invalid_revision"

How and where did you get the revision from, that gets refused here as an invalid? 🤔 Can you describe exact steps or, as Greg-DB has mentioned above, share some code snippet reproducing the issue?

AmanSingh Yes, as Здравко mentioned, please share the relevant code. It would be useful if you show both where/how you're get the revision value, as well as where/how you're using it. It may also be helpful for troubleshooting purposes to print out the value itself.
- Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Using Dropbox Java SDK v4.0.1 for development. I am trying to restore deleted files using -
files().restore(path, rev)
But its throwing an error "invalid_revision".
I am getting path from metadata for deleted file in listFolder() with includeDeleted = true.
And I am getting rev from listRevisions() for the file. Getting the latest revision from that list.
Is this API correct to do this task or is there anything to help ?
Thanks
Aman
