    <title>topic Too many write operations when moving a file in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;We are renaming many files using the "2/files/move_v2" API, and we perform the operation on many files for a single user parallely. We get many "too_many_write_operations" error.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know about the "&lt;SPAN&gt;lock contention&lt;/SPAN&gt;" but not sure why it should affect this because this is just a rename.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Questions:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Why are we getting this error while moving a file? Does move also acquires the lock?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Is there any other API to just perform rename to avoid move?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;1. Yes, any file/folder change would require a lock, including moving/renaming, which can result in lock contention.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. No, moving and renaming are functionally equivalent on the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
