Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
we have created an app using dropbox api which is sending audio files to our dropbox folder. But those files are not appearing on my desktop although I have full sync on. When I am manually putting files in that folder, they are syncing ok. So how do I sync the files which are coming through the dropbox api?
Thanks for your response. It seems like the app was sending files with : in the filename which dropbox sync doesn't work with.
Quick question on syncing. Is there a way to remove/empty the original dropbox folder once sync has downloaded the file onto the PC?
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can use the delete endpoint (or corresponding delete method in whatever SDK you're using, if any) to delete any file or folder programmatically. There isn't a way via the API to determine if the sync operation to any particular client has finished though.
