Correct Way to move folders in batch mode Java API

[Dario_Go]

Hi. I need to move a lot of folders with files to another shared folder. I need to do that every day using Java API

But moving a got the messsage "too_many_write_operations". I read in the doc that we need to do that in batch mode.

Someone have a example to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dario.

To move items in bulk using the Dropbox API v2 Java SDK, you should use moveBatch (or moveBatchBuilder) and moveBatchCheck.

We don't have a full example of that, but it would look like this:

List<RelocationPath> entries = new ArrayList<RelocationPath>();
entries.add(new RelocationPath("/folder1_original_path", "/folder1_new_path"));
entries.add(new RelocationPath("/folder2_original_path", "/folder2_new_path"));
// ... and so on

RelocationBatchLaunch moveBatchJob = client.files().moveBatch(entries);

RelocationBatchJobStatus moveBatchCheck = null;

while (moveBatchCheck == null || moveBatchCheck.isInProgress()) {
    // check this occasionally until it's done
    moveBatchCheck = client.files().moveBatchCheck(moveBatchJob.getAsyncJobIdValue());
    System.out.println(moveBatchCheck);
    Thread.sleep(10000);
}
