Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi there,
as developer of Dropshare (https://dropshare.app), I'd love to see an API for Dropbox Transfer (https://dropbox.com/transfer). Any plans for that?
Dropbox doesn't currently offer an API for the Dropbox Transfer feature, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
Would love to see this feature - in my workflow I'm often generating transfer links for a large number of folders, would love to be able to automate this with an API.
Just want to say that this will also be highly useful for email client integrations, e.g. Thunderbird Filelink.
Given we are seeing spammers using Dropbox Transfer to host phishing files, API access shouldnt be an afterthought on a service like this.
We use the existing Dropbox API to check Dropbox files before releasing to end users.
Its not possible to do this with Transfer links so we are contemplating bouncing all emails that contain Dropbox transfer links.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm passing this along to the team.
Hi @Greg, any word on this? We could really use this feature as WeTransfer has officially deprecated their API.
@homedeck No, unfortunately I don't have any news on this request.
@Greg-DB are there any engineers from the Transfer team on these forums? If not, I'll highly recommend you all consider it. Unity, the game engine, has done it with success. We, users, are able to discuss in real time with the engineers responsible for implementing and managing features. This indirection where you have to forward issues seems incredibly inefficient, given that you only seems to send them things and they never (ever) seem to get back to us with any information. It's been a month and no word on this.
@homedeck We don't currently have Dropbox product engineers for any particular product, such as Transfer, on the forum here, but thanks for the idea and feedback! I'll float this with them, as well as check in with them regarding the request itself.
