Content Hash Searchv2

[lr00429]

Hello,

I am working on an app that allows users to upload files using the dropbox api. There is a requirement to check duplicates per folder for this I am searching for the file name that they are uploading for the folder that they are uploading to, if I get a match I can create the content hash and comparing to what I get from search. However, I noticed that SearchV2 returns the same content hash no matter what the file is. SearchV1 does not have this issue. I am currently calling get metadata on match of name because I do not want to user searchV1 but would love to get this fixed so I don't have to make an additional callout.

Thanks for the report. I just tried this out though, and I'm not seeing the behavior you describe. Can you share the particular call and output you're making so we can take a look? Be sure to redact the access token and any private information though. Feel free to open an API ticket if you'd prefer to share privately. Thanks in advance!

Hey Greg,

Sure thing, here is a few screenshots. 1. being the content_hash example file (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash) showing the correct hash in searchV1. Then a screenshot of search V2 with the same file showing a different hash. Lastly, a completely different installation file showing the same hash using searchv2. We experience this with all searchV2 queries where we get the same hash for all files. 

Thanks!

Thanks, that's helpful. We'll look into it and I'll follow up here once I have any update on this for you.

I am also having this issue.  Is there any update on this?

[Greg-DB]

@ericmayhew I don't have any news on this right now. I'll follow up here once I do.

I can confirm the reported issue. All the items returned by search v2 have the same content hash.

@alexlarocca Thanks for the note. This issue is still open with engineering. I'll follow up here once I have an update on it.

[Hoteam Soft]

 I have the same issue.

[alexlarocca]

I guess you already knows that e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 is the hash of an empty file
