How do I resolve a 'ReferenceError: document is not defined at document.querySelector'?
I am working through the Dropbox Api tutorial on scrimba (https://scrimba.com/playlist/pnyeEhr) and ( https://scrimba.com/g/gdropbox). I am on the Render Files section. After coding the updateFiles method I am getting a ReferenceError. This may be because I had to change the top lines of code from: /*import { Dropbox } from 'dropbox'; const accessToken = 'myToken'; const dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken, fetch }); to: require('es6-promise').polyfill(); require('isomorphic-fetch'); var _dropbox = require("dropbox"); const accessToken = '<my access token>'; const dbx = new _dropbox.Dropbox({ accessToken: accessToken, fetch: fetchU }); ---------------------------------- My index.js code is: 'use strict'; require('es6-promise').polyfill(); require('isomorphic-fetch'); var _dropbox = require("dropbox"); const accessToken = 'my Token'; const dbx = new _dropbox.Dropbox({ accessToken: accessToken, fetch: fetch }); //const fileListElem = document.getElementById('.js-file-list') const fileListElem = document.querySelector('.js-file-list'); const state = { files: [] } const init = () => { dbx.filesListFolder({ path: '' }).then(res => { updateFiles(res.entries) }) } const updateFiles = files => { state.files = [...state.files, ...files] renderFiles() } const renderFiles = () => { fileListElem.innerHTML = state.files.sort((a,b) => { // sort alphabetically folders first if ((a['tag'] === 'folder' || b['.tag'] === 'folder') && !(a['.tag'] === b['.tag'])) { return a['.tag'] === 'folder' ? -1 : 1 } else { return a.name.toLowerCase() < b.name.toLowerCase() ? -1 : 1 } } ).map(file => { const type = file['.tag'] return ` <li class="dbx-list-item ${type}">${file.name}</li> ` } ) } init()Solved78KViews0likes3Comments

Is there a Upload widget that I can embed on my site?
Hello Dropbox and comminity! I was wondering if there is a dropbox upload widget that I can embed to my site for users to upload files to a specific folder of mine? Sharing is not the only important thing for me you see, we need our visitors to upload their content to us. We would like to set the maximum file size per upload to 2gb. Is this possible with Dropbox today? Thanks! JoeSolved52KViews3likes8CommentsAPI access token expired
Hi, i am using some of the http api endpoints to upload or download files. As i saw in the documentation the API access tokens never expire but can only be revoked. For some reason after i use my token for a day or so i get the message "expired_access_token". Then i need to create a new one. Of course i never revoked it manually or from the api. I have another account where there i don't have any issue. My token is still working after many months. I followed the same process to create both of them but still they are different. The token for my old account is 64 characters long but the new one is 139 and always starts with "sl.". Am i doing something wrong? Did anything change on how Dropbox is producing access tokens? Thanks in advance for any help.Solved52KViews5likes11Comments

Get refresh token from access token?
I can get an access token from the website at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/info/****** for my server-based app. Those tokens seem to work for what I need, which is just to retrieve uploaded files and manage files in one directory. But those tokens seem to expire. How can I get a refresh token for this app? I tried: curl https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token \ -d code=<ACCESS_TOKEN> -d grant_type=authorization_code \ -d redirect_uri=<REDIRECT_URL> \ -u "<APP_KEY>:<APP_SECRET>" with the appropriate values but I get an error of "code doesn't exist or has expired" even when I try it right away after generating a new access token on the website.Solved39KViews0likes8Comments
Downloading a file from using the Python Dropbox API
Hello, Sorry for the basic question. I'm updating the code I had for the V1 Python API and I'm having a trouble with the download function. Originally I used the following: f, metadata = client.get_file_and_metadata('/' + j) out = open(j) out.write(f.read()) out.close() Where 'j' is just a name of a picture from a list of names; this was what was used in the tutorial for the previous answer. Now, it seems that in the newest version of the API that function is gone and there seem to be two replacements: 'files_download()' and 'files_download_to_file()'. I'm confused because both essentially produce the same type of response: ( dropbox.files.FileMetadata , requests.models.Response ) What would be the correct way to transform the previous methodology to the new one? Thanks,Solved36KViews0likes7CommentsDropbox should respond to Android Intent.ACTION_SEND
My android app uses the code below to allow users to back up an important file. A number of applications, including Google Drive, appear as suitable services to handle the file, but Dropbox does not appear, even though it offers the same functionality as Google Drive. Could you please change Dropbox so that it appears and my users can access it in this way? File F = new File(sdPath); if(F.exists()){ Uri U = Uri.fromFile(F); Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); i.setType("file/*"); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, U); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i,"Email/Upload '" + filename + "'")); }36KViews4likes15Comments
