Re: ID for files

ID for files

Matteo P.

I would like to have an unique ID for each file that is persisted across renames, moves and revision. In this Stack Overflow question you said you were tracking it as a feature request (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15209512/dropbox-file-unique-identifier-restful-api). Any news?

It was something that was being implemented in the last version of the beta releases so I'd assume its coming shortly....

@Mark thanks, that would be great! Do you know if the beta releases are public and if we can already use it?

All Beta releases are public. See https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201820745-Experimenal-Build-3-1-270 for info. This is a newer version though.

For info beta versions are always odd numbered clients (e.g. 3.1.x, 3.3.x etc.) and stable even number (e.g. 3.0.x, 3.2.x etc.)

No problem. But I suppose that if it was coming to the desktop then it'll come to the API too...

To echo the StackOverflow thread, no news on this right now.
