    <title>topic Are file ids globally unique? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Are-file-ids-globally-unique/m-p/176314#M7031</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;The &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;documentation&lt;/A&gt; doesn't say anything about file ids being unique at all, whereas&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/11/dropbox-api-v2-launches-today/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;this blog post&lt;/A&gt; leads me to believe they're unique per user, but not necessarily globally unique. Are file ids globally unique?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sorry, the documentation does contain the language "A unique identifier for the file".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, the global uniqueness is still ambiguous.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Apologies we don't have better documentation on this right now! I'll send this along as a request for some.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To answer your actual question though, there are a few things to note:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- file IDs are not content hashes. That is, files with the same exact content in two unrelated accounts will have different IDs.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- a single file&amp;nbsp;in a shared folder with multiple users will be report the same file ID when requested via any one of the different members of the shared folder.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Gregory, Thank you very much for your reply. I understand that a single file in a shared folder with multiple users will report the same file ID for each user. My question is: is it possible for two different files with different content in two unrelated accounts to have the same file id?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No, in that case they would have distinct IDs.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
