Dropbox max file size
It seems that the maximum size of a file uploaded (from the desktop application) to dropbox is 2TB. How can I get around this limitation? Does using the API allow this? I have very large files to transfer. Thanks for your help! On the Dropbox desktop app Files and folders uploaded on the Dropbox desktop app can be up to 2 TB each.
api file request set naming convention
HI, There is currently no way to set the naming convention when creating a file request through the API. Therefore the uploader name is added to the file automatically and we have no say about it. The idea to implement the option to set the naming convention through the api https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create or setting a default naming convention for file request could also work.

upload file to my dropbox from python script
I want to upload a file from my python script to my dropbox account automatically. I can't find anyway to do this with just a user/pass. Everything I see in the Dropbox SDK is related to an app having user interaction. I just want to do something like this: https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put//?user=me&pass=blah
Dropbox Saver API to accept more than 100 files
We really love the Saver component, but hesitant to roll out to our users due to this comment on the API documentation. You can specify up to 100 files. Is this a hard-cap or is there a way for us to upload more files in one save call? Would also love to hear for a workaround if there is any. Thank you.DropboxAPI uploading small files
Hi! I ask for help in solving my problem. I have a Python script that runs on about 500 PCs. After running, each script writes a text file with a size of 60 bytes (approximately) and uploads it to my Dropbox folder. And I ran into such a problem that the created files can be uploaded to Dropbox indefinitely. Sometimes the file can load after 10 minutes, and sometimes after 2 hours or more. I can't figure out what this is related to, please help me figure it out. Here is a piece of my code where a file is created and uploaded to Dropbox.
file upload failed randomly
While uploading the document using the Dropbox API [https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload], randomly the document gets not uploaded, the file presents with 0 bytes, if i open below, ".pdf files are supported but something went wrong/ dropbox" Why? It occurs randomly, could you please check this from your end? Note: I'm using the Dropbox in Web - Windows (Basic plan)
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?Chatgpt Actions to interact with Dropbox
