File size limit

Dropbox's uploading works best for files less than 150 MB in size. See https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v2.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/DbxUserFilesRequests.html . The downloading endpoints will return a size parameter in the response, though I'm not sure what the size restrictions are, if any. You can check the size of a file before downloading it by calling getMetadata on the file, and then calling getSize on the result.

To clarify, while the upload method is restricted to files with a maximum size of 150MB, Dropbox itself has no restrictions on the size of files uploaded and downloaded.

If you're uploading files larger than 150MB, you'll need to use upload sessions (see the uploadSession* methods in the class Alexandra linked to above).

thank you very much!

Also I would like to ask:

  1. Can add upload / download progress listeners in the new sdk version ?

  2. Is it possible to get modified / created time for folders too?

  3. V2 logout , such as V1 in Session.unlink ?

looking forward to your reply
