Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Recently, we received many feedbacks from our product users that the filename (use /upload) has become garbled. We found the "path" decode behavior might be changed by dropbox server.
For Example: (the current behavior)
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \
--header "Authorization: Bearer access_token" \
--header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/RICE/我的檔案\",\"mode\": \"add\",\"autorename\": false,\"mute\": false}" \
--header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
--data-binary @test.pdf
{"name": "\u00e6\u0088\u0091\u00e7\u009a\u0084\u00e6\u00aa\u0094\u00e6\u00a1\u0088", "path_lower": "/rice/\u00e6\u0088\u0091\u00e7\u009a\u0084\u00e6\u00aa\u0094\u00e6\u00a1\u0088", "path_display": "/RICE/\u00e6\u0088\u0091\u00e7\u009a\u0084\u00e6\u00aa\u0094\u00e6\u00a1\u0088", "parent_shared_folder_id": "4082639392", "id": "id:Io0h0kFRW8sAAAAAANBUdA", "client_modified": "2019-10-09T08:32:39Z", "server_modified": "2019-10-09T08:32:39Z", "rev": "5947620b4879df3582220", "size": 38908, "sharing_info": {"read_only": false, "parent_shared_folder_id": "4082639392", "modified_by": "dbid:AADoF7JHXmoPd6Rx2X-1h0qzHUgXhnQfiH0"}, "is_downloadable": true, "content_hash": "cae9af2c924e769d376ed2143b0e8b0195b689764ac01be0ecc8e72b9a1feeb1"}
the decoded response "name" will be : 我的檔案
but in the past, the response "name" should be: \u6211\u7684\u6a94\u6848
which is the encoded string of "我的檔案"
Thanks for your help, it works good now.
The issue caused the Cloud Sync upload failed.
From your screenshot highlights, the second time file upload retry success, so I think the issue was solved.
But to be safety, you can contact Synology support to double confirm.
Dear @wen_hsiao,
It's not working. Please read carefully my explanation on the previous post. The second time file upload is successful because it's uploading to the wrong named folder. That is also why you have the download after of the wrong file, because Cloud Sync detects a new folder and file on the Dropbox cloud.
I already opened the ticket in Synology support, it's ticket number #2380080 from October 7 if you want to check it out. But it has been poorly developped by the support staff.
@wen_hsiao Thanks for the note.
@MReizinho If you're still seeing any broken functionality, please let the third party app developer know so that they can contact us with the relevant technical details so we can investigate.
