Get source URL of Photo/Video - Dropbox API v2 - C#
Hi, I need to get source URL's of each photos or videos on Dropbox account. Earlier with v1 is i was gettting file path like below: var api = new DropboxApi(dropbox_appkey, dropbox_appsecret...
To get the sub-files and folders, you'll need to set the recursive parameter. So, for example, instead of:
var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync(path);
you would use:
var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync(path, recursive:true);
The "path" you then pass in to DownloadAsync should be the "PathLower" you retrieved from the FileMetadata. (Alternatively, the "Id" would also work.) There's an example of getting the file data from the response of DownloadAsync here.
Hi,
I'm using below code at the top of the method.
var list = await client.Files.ListFolderAsync(path);
Now while debug i get folder's & file's info which are in the Root of Dropbox account, but there are sub-folders too and each folders/sub-folders contains photos/videos.
Folders are available by "list.Entries.Where(i => i.IsFolder)" & files are by "list.Entries.Where(i => i.IsFile)".
After completing avove two loops i have written 'list.HasMore' condition but getting false, then how i will call ListFolderContinueAsync() to get more files.
I'm really confused about the parameters in both methods ListFolderAsync(string path) // what should be the path here?
And ListFolderContinueAsync(string cursor) // what should be the cursor here? [list.Cursor] will be correct parameter?
My main requirement is to get source URL's of all photos/videos under Dropbox account so that later i can use DownloadAsync(string path) method to download files in my local machine. Parameter 'path' of the DownloadAsync() will be the photo/video source URL, correct?
If yes then i would like to know where i can define the destination local machine path to download to?
Thanks for your answer.

- Hi Greg,
Thanks for your prompt help. I have tried and it worked as expected.
