      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Ashley, the cursor can get very large like this when the account has many shared folders. The 414 error indicates that the URI (including the parameters, in this case, the long cursor) is too long to be processed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Instead, you can include the parameters in the body of the API call, not on the URI itelf. For example, in curl, that would mean instead of doing something like this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;curl -X "POST" "https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/delta?cursor=CURSOR_HERE" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;you would do something like this:&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/1/delta" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE" \
    --data "cursor=CURSOR_HERE"
&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(Also, I should note that API v1 is &lt;A href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2016/06/api-v1-deprecated/" target="_self"&gt;deprecated&lt;/A&gt;, so we&amp;nbsp;recommend &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/migration-guide" target="_self"&gt;migrating&lt;/A&gt; to API v2 as soon as possible.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks. One other quick question. What is the best/prefered way for a desktop application to retrieve all users folders and files? Is it the deleta or metadata endpoint in v1 api?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did&amp;nbsp; move to v2 api but still waiting on feedback for this post :&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/500-internal-Server-Error-https-api-dropboxapi-com-2-files-list/m-p/181623#M7493" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/500-internal-Server-Error-https-api-dropboxapi-com-2-files-list/m-p/181623#M7493&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again&lt;/P&gt;</description>
