Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello,
I'm performing some test with /copy_batch, and I found that if I add two copies of the same file, for example:
"from_path":"/folder1/file1.txt","to_path":"/folder1/file2.txt"
"from_path":"/folder1/file1.txt","to_path":"/folder1/file3.txt"
I get this error:
{".tag":"failed","failed":{".tag":"duplicated_or_nested_paths"}}
I think this must be a bug, because it shouldn't be a problem to have the same source path is in more than one entry of the list.
It is only the destination path that shouldn't be repeated.
Only for Move it would be a problem, but not for Copy.
This bug seems to still be there.
I can't make two copies of a file that is up on dropbox already, i get {".tag":"failed","failed":{".tag":"duplicated_or_nested_paths"}}
