    <description>&lt;P&gt;I needed to move 40 files to a folder and tried something that worked for me. I highlighted the files I needed by holding my left mouse button over the last one (they were all in one list under the folders). Then, I dragged them to the folder I wanted them in and dropped. I tried a few files to see if it would work, the highlighted the final 30 or so and they all dropped nicely into place.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>API requests performance issues.</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/API-requests-performance-issues/m-p/56980#M1722</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;The issue we dealing with is when moving or copying files in DropBox server to another folder in DropBox server.&lt;BR /&gt;
The API requires to send request for each file separately. That takes way too long. &lt;BR /&gt;
Maybe You provide some kind of batch request so I could move more than one files per request?&lt;BR /&gt;
I also know the ability to move all folder content, but it doesn't work on our case, cause we need only subset of files to move.&lt;BR /&gt;
If we try to flush many request at once threw several connections, we get 'Server Unavailable' or 'File Locked' errors and need to repeat request again.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Tl;DR;&lt;BR /&gt;
To move 1000 files that already are in DropBox server it takes over 30 minutes. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;What possible solutions You have to increase the performance?&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;BR /&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately there isn't currently any way to perform file operations in batch or improve performance like this with the API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback. &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Quick update: the API does now have support for batch moves:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move_batch" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move_batch&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
