    <title>topic Re: Folder download in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Folder-download/m-p/278040#M16645</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I just tried this API call and it worked great.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;the only hiccup is an error when trying to d/l the root folder&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;"Dropbox-API-Arg": path: The root folder is unsupported&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;some files are saved in the application's root folder and the method seems to fail to get&amp;nbsp;them zipped up&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Folder download</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Folder-download/m-p/254755#M14720</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Per&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/download-entire-folders&amp;nbsp;" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/download-entire-folders&amp;nbsp;&lt;/A&gt; I can download any folder through the dropbox web interface.&amp;nbsp; How can I do this via the API?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm guessing the web client uses some form of API for this so this should be doable from scripts as well?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to download entire folders like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. (The Dropbox web site uses a different, internal interface for this.)</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think this would be nice resource saving feature.&amp;nbsp; I've seen all kinds of recursive download scripts that basically inundate the dropbox API with requests for each individual file.&amp;nbsp; Seems rather inefficient.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Here is a workaround, you can &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-share_folder" target="_self"&gt;create a sharedlink for that folder&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/share_folder \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $TK" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"path": "/legacy/teste-curl","acl_update_policy": "editors","force_async": true,"member_policy": "anyone"}'&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;then&amp;nbsp;download it using the&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;preview_url&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;wget -v https://www.dropbox.com/sh/{shared_link_id}?dl=1&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Like this example&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;wget -v https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j1msw4e8dup2c5q/AAANYUWXcyBDgxVGkveU7AFla?dl=1&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After all you can unshare this folder &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-unshare_folder" target="_self"&gt;for security reasons&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/unshare_folder \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $TK" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"shared_folder_id\": \"1896934208\",\"leave_a_copy\": false}"&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;This is nice thanks. I was also trying to decipher the download call through web client but it got a bit hairy.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The zip file comes from&amp;nbsp;&lt;A id="url" href="https://dl-web.dropbox.com/zip_batch?_subject_uid=28207218" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;https://dl-web.dropbox.com/zip_batch?_subject_uid=&amp;lt;dropbox id&amp;gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; but I could not figure out in developers tools panel what all the POST parameters were.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>The zip_batch endpoint isn't part of the public API, so I can't offer information on it or recommend trying to use it, as it is subject to change without warning.</description>

      <description>The Dropbox API now offers the ability to download folders as zips:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download_zip" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download_zip&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you're using an official SDK, there will also be a corresponding method for this endpoint.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That's the expected behavior. Downloading the root folder is not supported unfortunately,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
