Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
When i use the api search_v2 to search for a file by file name it do search only on the APP Folder that was created by api, and it does not search in the whole Dropbox.
Any solution for this?
Aahh... You are trying a team account...
In such a case any file/folder access (like the one 'search' do) need to be performed behind particular user (not the team). That's why you have to "personalize" (if could be said so) your access while using team account. This could be done automatically by just removing all team related scopes in permissions, if you are not using them. In such a way no any change needs to be done on the code. Other way is, as described within the error message, represent an user (you for example). You have to change the code using this way (take a look here for more info).
Hope this gives direction.
Thank you.I did personalised the dropbox app and unchecked all team options.
After doing that i still can not retrive results from shared folder?
Did you reissue the token in use? 🧐 Take in mind that token caches the permissions state and any change is NOT retroactive!
Yes sure i did generate new token
Ok... Try investigate what's wrong now... Is there some error?... Are you able reach to/list the file in interest?...
No errors at all:
am sending this data:
And... Ok, be more initiative...
I can't guess what's the result!!! Again, are you able list (within your application) the target file where you know "Hans Gustafson" resides in (in particular)?
By the way, "include_highlights" default value is False, so it's meaningless here.
Thanks to Здравко for helping troubleshoot this.
