Is it possible to download or read a file list or directory list from dropbox and export to a file (txt)?
Yes, Dropbox offers an API that covers all of this functionality. For example: to list files: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#metadata to download files: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files-GET to upload files: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files_put to share files via shared links: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#shares There are also official SDKs available we recommend using: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core...

How to create folder on dropbox using php
Since CreateFolder function seems to be in a class ($this->apiCall points to that), $x should be encapsulated in a function (that is the error that's shown). So to make it work, just call it from outside class. You are using DropboxClient.php so following sample.php from this package your create a...

Get gps metadata from image in dropbox using PHP
As you noted, the PHP library doesn't support the include_media_info parameter, so you'd need to modify the source code of the library to add support. E.g. you could add this method: function getMetadataWithMediaInfo($path) { Path::checkArg("path", $path); return $this->_getMetadata($path, array("include_media_info" => "true")); } ...
Use of dropbox with core APIs, but avoiding login page
oauth,oauth-2.0,dropbox,dropbox-api,dropbox-php
Putting probable solution to my own question here: The main issue here was about re-generation of the Access Token at some intervals, that too without any user interaction, a backend stuff. After going through Dropbox APIs, I concluded there is no API exposed for re-generation of Access Token automatedly. But...
Sending a buffer to the client to download
It looks like the dbox module you're using has a stream() option which is probably better suited for file downloads. You should also make a call to metadata to look up the file's mime type. For example: var middleware = function(req, res, next) { var client = DBoxApp.client(req.session.dbox_access_token); var file...
Dropbox / Box API direct download file with access token
For reference, with Dropbox at least, you can pass the access token in a URL parameter "access_token" as opposed to in the Authorization header.

No, the SharpBox library uses the Dropbox Core API, not the Dropbox Sync SDK or Datastore API, and so it should not be affected.

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 recordsChanged sync status using JS Datastore API?

To increase the file upload limit in Heroku while uploading to Dropbox, follow these steps: Create a file named custom_php.ini, preferably.

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. First, you'll probably want to use the iOS Core SDK (download, tutorial). Alternatively,...
Load DropNet user token and secret from a database in a C# WinForms application

In the Dropbox Android Core SDK, the getAccessTokenPair method returns an OAuth 1 access token, if you have one, as an AccessTokenPair.

For local development, I leaned on https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox_hook pretty hard to test everything. It's what I would recommend for local development of dropbox webhooks.
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.

Dropbox API Shared Folders

I ran into this problem too. I suspect the Python API hasn't been updated to support the somewhat new /shared_folders REST API call.

http-link to private Dropbox files
No, the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer anything exactly like what you describe. If you need to access file content from your app, the best way to do so is using the /files (GET) API call, which returns the file data directly: HTTP docs: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files-GET Android docs: https://www.dropbox.com/static/developers/dropbox-android-sdk-1.6.2-docs/com/dropbox/client2/DropboxAPI.html#getFile(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.io.OutputStream,...

This allows for uploads larger than...
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...
Check Dropbox Datastore API for Previous Sync (iOS)
My guess would be that it's a race condition. The first time you link an account, it will take time before the data is loaded, and you need to set up an observer to wait for that initial sync to take place. Perhaps some of the confusion is here: //Sync...
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 API Token flow - no token in response
In the implicit flow, the access token is part of the fragment of the URL (the part after the hash). URL fragments aren't sent to the server.

If you're embedding a WebBrowser control anyway, there's no need to redirect to localhost at...
Uploading to dropbox via node js fails

It looks like you're missing the cursor parameter to resumableUploadFinish. Also, you should be passing in a cursor to resumableUploadStep after the first call too.
