Content Hash Searchv2

Content Hash Searchv2

lr00429
Explorer | Level 4

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.

We use the search_api_v1 to resolve the problem.

Expect the new version of v2
