Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I'm creating an iOS app using Sync API. For testing purposes, I was wondering if there was a way to clear all the previously downloaded/cached files, so when I call openFile, it will download from Dropbox instead of using cached file.
You can uninstall and reinstall the app, or reset the iOS simulator.
I believe it will also work to just unlink the user account and re-link again.
Thanks, I checked the Documentation for unlink, and you are correct: "Once an account is unlinked, the local cache is deleted.", so that is probably the easiest thing to do.
Thanks also for the tip about resetting the iOS Simulator, I hadn't realize you could do that, and it may come in handy in the future.
