Check if file exists on Dropbox using Android Dropbox API
Calling metadata and looking for an exception with a 404 response is probably the best way to check the existence of a single file in Dropbox. Depending on what you're trying to do, there are likely better approaches: If you're enumerating all files anyway (e.g. using delta), then there's no...
Is it ok to use http dropbox file links instead of https?
Strange. I get a 400 error when I try to do the same thing. Even if HTTP is working for you, I'd advise against using it. Someone eavesdropping on your traffic could learn the link to the file, and it's also possible for someone to impersonate dropboxusercontent.com and send you...

how to get direct link of folder with Dropbox Ruby SDK?
It doesn't look like the Ruby library currently exposes this. But the source code is here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-ruby/blob/master/lib/dropbox_sdk.rb#L1222-L1225. If you're up for it, please submit a pull request to add this to the SDK.

This allows for uploads larger than...
Dropbox Core API JAVA Authorization Code
java,connection,dropbox,dropbox-api
You should be storing and reusing the access token, not the authorization code. So after doing this once: String accessToken = authFinish.accessToken; You should just replace the whole thing with String accessToken = "<the one you already got>"; BTW, if you just need an access token for your own account,...

You don't say what you're trying to write to Cloud Storage, so I will assume you already have some content that you want to write, in which case the Google Cloud Storage Client API (javadoc) should give you what you're looking for. In particular, GcsOutputChannel. This allows you to write...

Which is the best way to sync Core Data to Dropbox?

How can I download for longer than three minutes with Dropbox?
ios,ios7,ios8,dropbox-api,background-task
Background tasks are, as you found out, severely restricted.

How to get metadata with include_media_info?
The official Dropbox iOS Core SDK doesn't currently support include_media_info yet, but it is open source so you can modify it to support it. For example, the SDK uses this method to call the HTTP API: - (void)loadMetadata:(NSString*)path withParams:(NSDictionary *)params The documentation for the HTTP endpoint itself can be found...

Sync with Dropbox Core API
This is a relatively broad question, and the specifics will be very much dependant on each app. Dropbox doesn't offer a general guide for implementing sync like this, but I'll try to point to some useful resources.

Dropbox.js how to download an specific revision? is it possible?
javascript,download,dropbox,dropbox-api
In dropbox.js, the method to download a file is called readFile, and it takes an optional rev parameter to specify which revision of the file you want to access. So something like client.readFile(path, { rev: 'abc123' }, function (err, contents) { ... }); should work. The code you have so...

No, the SharpBox library uses the Dropbox Core API, not the Dropbox Sync SDK or Datastore API, and so it should not be affected.
Prompt user to share a Dropbox folder with another user
If the user is signed in to Dropbox, you can use links of this format: https://www.dropbox.com/home/FOLDERNAME?shareoptions=1 Replace FOLDERNAME with the URL-encoded representation of the shared folder name (e.g., "My Folder" becomes "My%20Folder"). This gets you to the sharing screen at least; the user still needs to type in the email...

See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files_put and https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#chunked-upload. The former allows for up to 150MB and writes the file in a single HTTP request, so there's no way to resume a failed upload without starting over from the beginning of the file. The latter allows any size, and any failed upload can be resumed...

Android Make a new Async task have priority over others in background or Dropbox Core API issue

This is due to how async tasks actually work. They don't run in parallel on 3.0+ (they used to until 3.0), because too many newbie developers weren't able to program in parallel without errors, so Google decided to change it. Instead, async tasks run on a single thread in FIFO...

In the Dropbox iOS Core SDK, the result of asynchronous calls like this get delivered via a delegate. See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/ios and the use of uploadedFile and uploadFileFailedWithError in particular to understand the delegate pattern.

iOS Dropbox Datastore API: WebKit Exception + Unsupported URL
It turns out that the errors given by Xcode were a bit of a red herring in this case.

Check Dropbox Datastore API for Previous Sync (iOS)

Hopefully this will help someone else in the future. function _base64ToArrayBuffer(base64) { base64 = base64.split('data:image/png;base64,').join(''); var binary_string = window.atob(base64), len = binary_string.length, bytes = new Uint8Array(...
About arbitrary data
"Arbitrary data" means anything. A string, a number, binary data, whatever. Since it's to be used as a CSRF token, it needs to be an unpredictable value that's associated with the user's session. Here are some guidelines on CSRF tokens....
Dropbox Access Token Expiry
It effectively never expires. But users can invalidate tokens by unlinking an app. (In the case of an App folder app, they can delete the app folder from their Dropbox. For all apps, they can unlink the app on dropbox.com.)
Showing file selection UI : Integrating Dropbox with OAuth 2
You definitely can't put dropbox.com into an iframe, for security reasons (e.g. clickjacking). A few suggestions: Can you just use the Chooser for your use case? That would certainly be easier for you and your users. If you can't use the Chooser, is there a reason you're not using dropbox.js?...
Dropbox Sync api using multiple Activities
Do not set a static variable on an Activity // do not do this! MovementDetection.mAccount=chosenAccount; When the user has linked to an account, it will stay linked in the lifetime of the app (until uninstalled or explicitly unlinked). When you wish to access Dropbox in other activities (after linking -...
Dropbox Core API Java - cannot get folder size in metadata
To get the rest of the metadata, you'll want to cast to a DbxEntry.Folder: DbxEntry entry = client.getMetadata("/testFolder"); if (entry instanceof DbxEntry.Folder) { DbxEntry.Folder folder = (DbxEntry.Folder)entry; System.out.println(folder.toStringMultiline()); } But as Olivier pointed out, folders themselves do not have sizes in Dropbox. If you're interested in how big the files...

Read and Write Dropbox Files without External Files
You can send strings directly to put_file. It doesn't have to be a file object: # ... insert example code in OP's SO link to get client object # uploading s = 'This is a line\n' s += 'This is another line' response = client.put_file('/magnum-opus.txt', s) And files received using...

Got it working! client.readFile("package.nw", {binary : true}, function(error, data) { if (error) { return showError(error); // Something went wrong. throw new Error(error); } toastr.info("Storing update.."); console.log(data); fs.writeFile("package.nw", data, 'binary', function(err) { if(err) { return showError(error); } toastr.info("Update complete!"); }); }); had to use {binary : true} to get it working!...
