Length of Dropbox account ID
What is the length of Dropbox account ID. Is the lenght fixed or it may change?
It looks like you're referring to using the official Dropbox API v2 Java SDK. Yes, the getAccountId method on the FullAccount object returned by getCurrentAccount would return the account ID for the connected user.
I like to know what is the value of the number of characters. Is the value always the same. Or it can be any value?
Kindly advise what is the number of characters of Dropbox Account ID.
Is the number of characters always the same for all the accounts?

In my app, I want to verify that the account number is valid. One of the criterial used in my app is to verify the number of characters.

TS L. The `account_id` value on the Dropbox API is always 40 characters long.
You can that documented in `FullAccount.account_id`, for instance, as returned by /2/users/get_current_account:
account_id String(min_length=40, max_length=40)
I used
mDbxClient.users().getCurrentAccount().getAccountId()will that get the value `account_id`?
