Sending Folder IDs instead of Folder path in APIs

Sending Folder IDs instead of Folder path in APIs

Hi,

 

We are developing an app wherein we are storing the folderpath to upload files directly to theat folder in Dropbox. If the user unknowingly changes the folder name, we face conflict while invoking upload api or the file is uploaded to the newly created folder of that name. To overcome this issue, it would be better if we could pass the folder id instead of folder path, to upload api. Is it possible? Also is there a way to throw an exception when the folder path is not found while uploading, instead of creating the folder?

@zainulabideen No, unfortunately I don't have an update here. This capability has not been added to the API.

Need more support?
