Non-image thumbnails

Hello,

 

The /get_thumbnail document currently says “This method currently supports files with the following file extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, tiff, tif, gif and bmp. Photos that are larger than 20MB in size won't be converted to a thumbnail.

 

Is there (or can we have) a way to get (being able to set if dropbox doesn't want to autogenerate them) thumbnails for:

 

  • PDFs (e.g. v1’s `1/thumbnails` did PDFs thumbnails)
  • video
  • audio
  • images larger than 20MB
  • any arbitrary file really

Thanks!

Unfortunately the API doesn't offer thumbnails for these kinds of files, nor the ability to supply your own, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
Need more support?
