409 - Internal Error
I am having an intermittent issue with checking the status of async share jobs. Below is the flow I'm building and below that an real error being returned by the API. This is for an internal Dropbox app that we are building and is not yet in "production" mode. The Flow: 1) Create new folder inside the team space/folder 2) Create 13 subfolders inside that folder 3) Check the status of sharing each subfolder, polling every 5 seconds until it is "complete" 4) Finally, we add one of our groups to that folder via the "add_folder_member" endpoint. We ALWAYS create the parent folder successfully. Typically the error occurs around the 3rd or 4th subfolder. This is currently blocking our integration so any feedback or help would be deeply appreciated.

Retrieve folders recursively
I'm using 2/files/list_folder and 2/files/list_folder/continue. However, there are a couple hundred thousand files here which makes it nearly impossible to get a simple folder structure. Having to parse a huge JSON response looking for .tag="folder", especially over multiple cursors, is untenable. Is there a way to add a filter to this request to retrieve only ".tag": "folder" entries? Thanks, Chris
This app is not valid when trying to authenticate with Oauth
I'm trying to connect Salesforce to Dropbox and I've created an app on Dropbox. I've set up the Auth provider and have a URI redirect setup, but no matter if I use the actual URI or localhost, I always get the "This app is not valid" error message. I went so far as to build the URL manually to connect : https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&scope=files.content.write+file_requests.write&state=12345&client_id=clientID&redirect_uri=http://localhost I've verified the App key as the client id several times and it's correct. I've tried using a browser in incognito mode. I've tried re-creating the app from scratch and doing it all again. The status of the app is Development, but that seems correct, as I'm just trying to connect to it myself. Any obvious issues?
App Scope: Individual vs Team Scope Difference
Currently, I have an app that has read scope for team member (individual scope) but not TEAM scopes. Assuming this limitation persists with my app, can team folders still be scanned just like regular folders in a member's account if my app has scope for that accountId? For example, Team ABC has 2 members, Y and Z. My app has scope access to both members' accounts. I can scan both of their accounts, including the team folder in each account - is this the correct assumption? I understand that I would have duplicates if this is the correct assumption.Upload multiple files in session
Backstory I have a bunch of small PDFs (18 kb each). filesUpload worked until I understood that a `429` is quite usual. Researched and found the batch endpoints. I wanted to use `/upload_session/start_batch`, `/upload_session/append_batch` & `/upload_session/finish_batch` to upload all files in a session. For stability I used the JS SDK.....but there is no method for `/upload_session/append_batch` 🧐 I created my own method and used the endpoint directly.....worked. But I got errors in the `finish_batch` Then I thought: If the file size off all PDFs is so small, maybe I can upload them directly in the `start` without any `append` and without batch session. I thought, I can use the one `session_id` returned by the `filesUploadSessionStart` method and then go with `filesUploadSessionFinishBatchV2` and split the uploaded file into the original PDFs. const allContent = concatArrayBuffers(...files.map(({ contents }) => contents)); const startResponse = await dbx.filesUploadSessionStart({ close: true, contents: allContent, }); const batchData = files.reduce( (acc, cur) => { acc.entries.push({ cursor: { session_id: startResponse.result.session_id, offset: acc.offset, }, commit: { autorename: true, mode: "add", mute: false, path: cur.path, }, }); acc.offset += cur.contents.byteLength; return acc; }, { offset: 0, entries: [], } ).entries; await dbx.filesUploadSessionFinishBatchV2({ entries: batchData.map(({ commit, cursor }) => ({ commit, cursor })), }); This is the code. Questions What is a session exactly? What is an entry exactly? Can I access one session from multiple entries in a `filesUploadSessionFinishBatchV2`? Where am I going wrong?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, DavidAuthError 'invalid_access_token' with Python SDK after Token Refresh
Dear Dropbox Developer Team, I have been using the Dropbox API with your Python SDK for approximately four years without any issues. However, since November 25th or December 1st, I started encountering AuthError exceptions related to invalid access tokens. My implementation has remained unchanged during this time. I store tokens in a database and update them whenever the SDK retrieves a fresh one. Here is the relevant code snippet: After refreshing the access token using check_and_refresh_access_token(), subsequent requests (such as to files_list_folder or files_get_temporary_link) proceed without issue. However, when a new instance of DBXManager is created and the token is still valid (i.e., not expired and therefore not refreshed), requests may fail with the following error: dropbox.exceptions.AuthError: AuthError('a5dae06f271b404296dc9d254e75eb47', AuthError('invalid_access_token', None)) The only way to resolve this issue is to refresh the token again. As a temporary workaround, I am manually adjusting the token expiration in the database to force a refresh on the next instance creation. I am trying to understand the root cause of this behavior: Was there any recent change to the Dropbox backend or API behavior that could explain this issue? If this is a problem on my end, could you help clarify why the same implementation worked flawlessly for years? Thank you for your assistance. Please let me know if you need additional details about my setup or logs.Dropbox Cursor Behavior
Hello, I'm trying to confirm cursor behavior. - Is it safe to assume that Cursor is an offset into a transaction log per account, which is a sequential record of changes as they occurred in the account. In other words, clients that traverse dropbox do not walk through their repository (i.e. the "tree" of content) looking for content; instead, the client enumerates changes sequentially as they occurred in Dropbox.
