You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Slow response using Dropbox for Python
Hello, My python code has been working well for months. Within the past 48 hours, the files_download command in the snippet below (with tokens obfuscated) has started to take about 45 seconds while previously it was instantaneous. It is the last line that is the culprit. import dropbox DROPBOX_APP_KEY = "?????" DROPBOX_APP_SECRET = "?????" DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN = "????" dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(app_key=DROPBOX_APP_KEY, app_secret=DROPBOX_APP_SECRET, oauth2_refresh_token=DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN) metadata, f = dbx.files_download('/alerts.csv') Any suggestions? With thanks, David

It occurs randomly, could you please check this from your end? Note: I'm using the Dropbox in Web - Windows (Basic plan)

OTA update fails in CC3200
Hi All, We are using the Dropbox API to do an OTA upgrade. We have a webclient application running on the TI microcontroller CC3200. We are using the Drop Box API from 2017 onwards, and it is working fine. When we tested the OTA functionality yesterday, it was unable to receive the CDN file URL. It is able to receive the file information from Dropbox but is unable to get the temporary link from Dropbox. Do you know what is causing this issue? Is there any recent API upgrade that has failed to respond? Please help us to fix this issue ASAP. TI CC3200 logs: sl_extLib_OtaRun: call OtaClient_ConnectServer OTA server=api.dropbox.com OtaClient_ConnectServer: http_connect_server api.dropbox.com 0 OTA run = 0 sl_extLib_OtaRun: OtaClient_UpdateCheck, vendorStr=Vid01_Pid00_Ver0302100000 OtaClient_UpdateCheck: call http_build_request /1/metadata/auto/ CdnDropbox_SendReqDir: uri=/2/files/list_folder metadata file=/Vid01_Pid00_Ver0302100000/f80_sys_mcuimgA.bin, size=142888 sl_extLib_OtaRun: OtaClient_UpdateCheck, numUpdates=1 0 OTA run = 0 sl_extLib_OtaRun: OtaClient_GetNextUpdate: file=/Vid01_Pid00_Ver0302100000/f80_sys_mcuimgA.bin, size=142888 OtaClient_ResourceMetadata: call http_build_request /1/media/auto OtaClient_ResourceMetadata: file flags=80,metadata flags=80 CdnDropbox_SendReqFileUrl: uri=/2/files/get_temporary_link 0 OTA run = 0 sl_extLib_OtaRun: ResourceMetadata CDN file URL = f= CdnClient_ConnectByUrl: ERROR, http_extract_domain_by_url, status=-1 sl_extLib_OtaRun ERROR: Failed on CdnClient_ConnectByUrl 0 OTA run = -6 OTA run = -6 OTA: Error with OTA server Regards, Sundar
API Error "path/not_found" when creating shared_link
When interacting with the API, I get a path/not_found error. This happens when I upload a file to dropbox using the path /2/files/upload. After that, I create a link to the file using the path /2/sharing/create_shared_link and specify the path_display received after uploading the file. The error occurs very rarely, but it does not allow you to get a link. What could be the problem?API 'Connection Aborted' Error
Hello! I'm downloading files from an App Folder. I am downloading each one by one, totaling over 3000 files. I left the program to run and after 201 requests I got the error pasted below. I don't have a VPN or anything that would change my wifi connection as far as I know.

Hello, I thinkget_shared_link_metadata API has a bug with the new"/scl" links. When I send it a link to a shared folder and path to a file inside it: // https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata {path: "/001 (2).zip", url: "https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ppu9pgy84/h?rlkey=90bu"} The response is: { ".tag": "file", "url": "https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ppu9pgy84/h?rlkey=90bu&dl=0", "id": "id:2UW_T...", "name": "001 (2).zip", } In the past, the returned "url" was direct to the file, but now it's just the same folder url with"&dl=0". I need the direct link. later I need to convert it to a direct download link to the file. Please help.
