    <title>topic Re: Will the file ID never change? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Will-the-file-ID-never-change/m-p/214384#M10980</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;The 'id' is specific to Dropbox (and not embedded in the file) and is a good way to identify files, even as they get renamed or moved. I can't offer a long term timeline exactly though, but the 'id' is part of API v2, so I can say that wouldn't remove it without at least providing advanced notice (as doing so&amp;nbsp;would be a breaking change).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Will the file ID never change?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Will-the-file-ID-never-change/m-p/214218#M10963</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;The ID described in the FilesFileMetadata &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/global.html#FilesFileMetadata" target="_self"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Can I use this ID to identify a certain file in my dropbox through the API without fail?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;E.g. If I use this ID&amp;nbsp;with a&amp;nbsp;webpage&amp;nbsp;where I can add 'notes' to the images, save these notes in a database linked to the image ID's;&amp;nbsp;will my notes still be linked to the correct images even in 10 - 20 years?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is the ID something specific to Dropbox? Or can I also find it in the picture's metadata?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
