Error 500 finishing huge file upload (300GiB+)
Hello, When a huge file (300GiB+) is uploaded using the upload_session API an "Error 500 Internal Server Error" is received when the last part is uploaded (/upload_session/append with close set). I retry the request but an Error 500 raises again and again. Sometimes, after more than 1 hour retrying the file uploads successfully. I am using session_type sequential. The same code for smaller files (10GiB) works perfectly. Are you aware of the problem? Is there any workaround?
Team access not permitted
I have created an app with team scopes, and used a Team admin account to authorize and generate access tokens, following the Oauth guide. I am still hit with errors for multiple business API end points. I even registered this account for a 'Dropbox Business Development' account which was supposed to allow 'testing' for business endpoints but I am met with the same errors. I am referencing the Business and User Endpoint documentation here. For example; '2/sharing/mount_folder' leads to "Unexpected select user header. Your app does not have permission to use this feature" '2/team/members/get_info' leads to 'This token is not associated with a team" error_type:USER_AUTH_NOT_ALLOWED' I am running out of workaround and tests, what am I missing? How do I use my Team account to authorize a 'team' token/app so that I can act on behalf of my team members?
Search API not returning deleted files
Hi everyone, I'm using the Search API files/search_v2 and wanted to search for deleted files. The documentation claims that `file_status` can be used to restrict the search to the given file status. I'm doing a simple search as below, but I don't get the expected results: { "options": { "file_status": "deleted" }, "query": "deleted_file" } I've tried all kinds of combinations, but I'm still not getting correct results. Has anyone been able to make this work, or am I doing something wrong?/files/list_folder do not return entries correctly when filtering
I'm developer of an app that uses Dropbox API to fetch folders from the root of user's account. For most users the request works just fine, but there are some scenarios where a user have a lot of deleted files and folders in the root, in this scenario the API is not returning the entries correctly when filtering using `include_deleted=true` and `limit=100`, instead of excluding the deleted and returning the remaining entires up to the limit it returns only 1 entry, that is exactly the one that is not deleted from the first page of the request done with `include_deleted=false`, even using without limit it still fail to return all non-deleted entries in the first call, the user that raised this issue have 26 non-deleted folders in the root and 1 file, so it should be returned in just one page regardless of the limit, but the API apply the limit before the filterring. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to fix this?
How to display folders in the file list Dropbox API (Swift 5)
I get a list of the user's files and then filter it to show only the music files. But I also want to see subfolders. How should I set up my filter for this? Could you help me. My function where I get the list of files looks like this: I also want to be able to enter a subfolder, as I understand it, for this I need to insert the path to the subfolder in path: "/ someFolder". But how can I get this path?
email: [Final Reminder] Update your Dropbox SDK(s) to support root certificate changes
Hi, I have some Android apps live on Google Play that are using the Dropbox SDK and I received the following email from Dropbox : Hi, We're writing to you because according to our logs, you own one or more active Dropbox API apps using a version of an official Dropbox SDK with an outdated certificate trust store: ***** (hidden) On or after January 1, 2026, the Dropbox API servers will be updated to use new root certificates. After the server change, Dropbox API calls from outdated SDKs will fail. Failure to update your app(s) to the latest versions of these SDKs will result in loss of access to the Dropbox API. For more information, please refer to this blog post. Thanks, The Dropbox Team Although I am using the latest Dropbox SDK imports in my projects (for over a year now) as follows: implementation 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:7.0.0' implementation 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-android-sdk:7.0.0' What exactly do I need to change? Thank you in advance.
