Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
our users can choose specific folders that they want to synchronize from Dropbox to our app*. We store the current list_folder/list_folder_continue cursor in our database, so we only get changed files. This is working fine, as long as the "subscribed" folders are never moved/renamed. If a user does that, the list_folder_continue call fails with (even though we didn't use a path, we used a cursor):
Exception in 2/files/list_folder/continue: {".tag":"path", "path":"not_found"}
We already had this problem using the V1 API and I had great hopes when I read that there's ID support in the V2 API (so we could use the same ID, regardless if the folder was renamed), but so far this isn't really working out because of two problems:
So, what's the recommended way to deal with this situation? So far, all I can see that we can do is stop synchronizing that folder and ask our users to choose folders again if they want the renamed folder to be included.
Cheers,
David
