Hi Здравко ,
I solved everything in this way (all Paths are made with a DropBox id):
public static String moveFile(SuiteConfiguration suiteConfiguration,
String fromPath,String toPath) throws RelocationErrorException, DbxException {
DbxClientV2 dropboxClient = getV2Client(suiteConfiguration);
"id:TMSaeghsn0AAAAAAAACV2w/ios.png").withAllowOwnershipTransfer(true).withAllowSharedFolder(true).withAutorename(true);
RelocationResult result = dropboxClient.files().moveV2(fromPath, toPath);
return result.getMetadata().getPathDisplay();
}
public static void moveFolder(SuiteConfiguration suiteConfiguration,
String fromPath,String toPath) throws RelocationErrorException, DbxException, InterruptedException {
DbxClientV2 dropboxClient = getV2Client(suiteConfiguration);
MoveV2Builder withAllowSharedFolder = dropboxClient.files().moveV2Builder(fromPath,toPath).withAllowOwnershipTransfer(true).withAllowSharedFolder(true).withAutorename(false);
RelocationResult result = withAllowSharedFolder.start();
}
Thank you for your help

hi Здравко ,
I get my folders and files id from database, I saved them after upload.
If I need to move a sub-folder under my-app general folder, what have I to do?
Example:
Applications/My-App/folder-1/folder-2
I've to move "folder-2" under "My-App" folder, but I don't have any id for this one.
Thank you!

developersSave, You don't need id for your app namespace root folder. It's just empty. Pass an empty string instead of real ID. 😉 The concatenation can proceed without change.
