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.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.
Wrong Oauth2 Token
Hi there! I'm trying to connect Dropbox via FileStack to upload files. They have some recomendation for that - https://www.filestack.com/docs/uploads/storage/#dropbox I created and configured the app as described in the recommendations. I try to save the token on their side, but I get the following error. I can't figure out where the problem is, on your side or on the FileStack side?
playback streaming Issue
We're currently working on an iOS app that plays .mp4 video content via Dropbox. Using the SDK’s get Temporary Link method, we pass the resulting link into AV Player(url:…). However, the playback doesn’t kick off instantly — there’s a noticeable delay based on file size (sometimes several seconds to minutes). Interestingly, this delay also appears in Safari when opening the same link, but not when streaming directly from Dropbox’s own site. We’re testing this with a multilingual streaming platform we’re developing — <<removed>> — where instant load speed really matters.
Styling Dropbox Embeds to Match New Website Background on Squarespace
Hi everyone! I manage a website and we’re updating the background design to better reflect our brand. We currently use Dropbox shared links and embedded folders to share brochures and project files with clients. As we change the site background (possibly using gradients or images), we want to ensure that the Dropbox embeds remain visually consistent and responsive. Does anyone have experience with styling Dropbox embeds (via CSS or custom code) so they blend well with new backgrounds on platforms like Squarespace? Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!Create new folder in existing Team Folder
Hi, I use a web site development program called Wappler which allows for the setup of API's It has a section for the URL of the API, JSON DATA and I can add headers. I used the default: https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2 and added the headers: "Authorization: Bearer <my token here>" \ "Content-Type: application/json" \ and in the Json Data box I put: { "autorename": false, "path": "/Homework/math/{{$_POST.foldername}}" } This works OK and creates a folder from my form input to my home folder inside a folder called Apps> Homework/math/myfoldernamefrom form I want to create the folder in the team space so I added the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header and the value {".tag": "root", "root": "7"}, along with the following in the Json Data: { "path": "{{$_POST.foldername}}" } I know the 7 is just a sample and I have the details of my user ID, at the bottom is the root_info, with .tag, the root_namespace_id, the homespace_id and my home_path. What do/would I put in the Json Data to create a folder in team space called CompanyOne>FolderOne Many thanks for your help
How to filter events in dotnet SDK ?
I want to only query the team events of the event type file_download. I can't seem to figure out how I'm supposed to do it the way the developers intended. I can't find clear documentation on how to do this. GetTeamEventsResult events = await _dropbox.TeamLog.GetEventsAsync(eventType: WHAT DO I PUT HERE); I tried doing this: GetTeamEventsResult events = await _dropbox.TeamLog.GetEventsAsync(eventType: new EventTypeArg().AsFileDownload); But that just returns all events and doesn't filter them.
