    <title>topic Restrict Accessing / Selecting Specific File Types in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm about to integrate the API into a new project and I'd love to be able to restrict the user from selecting file types that we don't support.&amp;nbsp; I've been looking through the docs but am not seeing it (or just missing it I hope).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We currently support .docx, .pdf, .rtf, .txt and it would be awesome if we can restrict selecting any files that do not have one of those types.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this supported in the API?&amp;nbsp; If not, I supposed we'd need to do some validation and feedback on client-side on our end.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kane&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You didn't mention what platform you're using, but if you can use just &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser" target="_blank"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox web Chooser&lt;/A&gt;, you can filter files by type using the 'extensions' option.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Otherwise, if you are using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation" target="_blank"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API&lt;/A&gt; itself, I'm afraid this isn't offered. The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't have a way to restrict the app's access to specific types,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. That being the case, you'd have to implement the filtering client-side.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ah the Chooser! This should work perfectly.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for the quick response!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
