Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
I'm using Dropbox API v2 to generate and get shared links for thousands of files.
Both requests are taking in average 1.7 seconds so the process is taking way too long (28 minutes per 1000 files). This is what I'm using:
CREATE:
resourceSharedLink = client.sharing().createSharedLinkWithSettings(resourcePath).getUrl();
GET:
resourceSharedLink = client.sharing().listSharedLinksBuilder().withPath(resourcePath).start().getLinks().get(0).getUrl();
My app is useless with these speeds, what can I do?
Thanks!
I'm afraid there isn't a way to speed up these calls unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be improved on though.
You solved that performance about speed when get link each file?, i have a folder with ~20000 file, get metadata (e.g name, id, create time,..) is fast but with get url download being nightmare, lol
I used sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings and sharing_list_shared_links for get url file too.
I totally agree. This runtime is far too long for practical use.
Any possibility of an update on this DBX?
@burgerman I don't have any news on this unfortunately.
