    <description>Thanks for following up. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to rename the file using just its id and new name without specifying the new path, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I want to rename a file with dropbox rest api.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Well, it's possible with /move_v2 but we need to provide &lt;STRONG&gt;from_path&lt;/STRONG&gt; and &lt;STRONG&gt;to_path&lt;/STRONG&gt; values.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In my understanding, renaming a file is just updating its metadata. As dropbox provides an api to get metadata, is there any way to update it. I mean provided the id of file, can I change it's metadata?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have posted my concern regading this on stackoverflow&amp;nbsp;&lt;A title="Dropbox REST API to update file metadata" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48565684/dropbox-rest-api-to-update-file-metadata" target="_self"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can anyone help me resolve this?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Using /2/files/move_v2 is the correct way to rename a file, even if you don't need to move its folder location.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;For example, to rename a file inside a "Documents" folder, you would supply values like:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;from_path:"/Documents/old_name", to_path:"/Documents/new_name"&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Or, using the ID, you would still use move_v2, with values like:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;from_path:"id:abcfileid", to_path:"/Documents/new_name"&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Or, you can even use values relative to the parent folder ID, like:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;from_path:"id:xyzfolderid/old_name", to_path:"id:xyzfolderid/new_name"&lt;/PRE&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Fab...!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, we&amp;nbsp; can rename a file in multiple ways but we either need to have a complete or relative path to file. What if I want to rename a file provided its id only?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I mean other provders&amp;nbsp;like google drive, one drive, box provide a way to deal with file metadata. Whereas, dropbox is providing only a way to access only file metadata but not to update it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I was wondering if there is any way to deal with such operation when I am having only the id of a file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanking you in anticipation&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you Greg for confirming this. It'd be great if you update me with a request number when you raise&amp;nbsp;request for this feature.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cheers..!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
