Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
We are renaming many files using the "2/files/move_v2" API, and we perform the operation on many files for a single user parallely. We get many "too_many_write_operations" error.
I know about the "lock contention" but not sure why it should affect this because this is just a rename.
Questions:
1. Yes, any file/folder change would require a lock, including moving/renaming, which can result in lock contention.
2. No, moving and renaming are functionally equivalent on the Dropbox API.
