Hi everyone, I've a question: I need to move files and folders using dropbox API in my Java project. Do you have some code examples? I can't find them online and I don't know if it's possibile do ...
Hi Здравко ,
I solved everything in this way (all Paths are made with a DropBox id):
public static String moveFile(SuiteConfiguration suiteConfiguration,
String fromPath,String toPath) throws RelocationErrorException, DbxException {
DbxClientV2 dropboxClient = getV2Client(suiteConfiguration);
"id:TMSaeghsn0AAAAAAAACV2w/ios.png").withAllowOwnershipTransfer(true).withAllowSharedFolder(true).withAutorename(true);
RelocationResult result = dropboxClient.files().moveV2(fromPath, toPath);
return result.getMetadata().getPathDisplay();
}
public static void moveFolder(SuiteConfiguration suiteConfiguration,
String fromPath,String toPath) throws RelocationErrorException, DbxException, InterruptedException {
DbxClientV2 dropboxClient = getV2Client(suiteConfiguration);
MoveV2Builder withAllowSharedFolder = dropboxClient.files().moveV2Builder(fromPath,toPath).withAllowOwnershipTransfer(true).withAllowSharedFolder(true).withAutorename(false);
RelocationResult result = withAllowSharedFolder.start();
}
Thank you for your help
