When I create a group in Dropbox For Business, does name have limit?

[isv t.]

groups/create groups/update group_name and group_external_id fields, do they have up limit of characters?

According to our testing, group_name can be set up to 100 characters, above that will return 409 Conflict error code. if set group_external_id to around 600 characters, it will return 500 Internal Server Error.

Thank you, looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for the report! Yes, these do have an effective limit as you found, but it looks like they're not properly documented/handled on the API. I'll ask the team to fix that up.

Hi, thanks for fast response~

Is it possible that you tell me the limit here? We are integrating the API to our platform, is about to release soon!

As you found, the limit for group_name and new_group_name is 100 characters.

I don't currently have a definitive limit for group_external_id and new_group_external_id to share though.

Thanks for leting me know!
