Save URL Endpoint for Public Folders via API
When I use the files/save_url API endpoint and enter the URL of a public folder, I get an invalid_url error. I am assuming this is because this endpoint only works on files, not folders, is that correct? Or is the issue with public links, since this folder wasn't shared with me via Dropbox and doesn't exist in my Dropbox account? Is there an option to save a folder and its subfolders/files via the API? My intent is for this to have the same effect as a user clicking the "Copy to Dropbox" button that appears when viewing a public Dropbox folder. Thanks in advance!
Regarding the case where "list_folder" returns entries exceeding the limit value
In the "/list_folder" API specification, there is the following note regarding the "limit" parameter. Note: This is an approximate number and there can be slightly more entries returned in some cases. Please give us specific examples and conditions for "some cases". Thank you for your support.
Need Help with Syncing Dropbox Folder Paths to Google Sheets via Apps Script
Hello everyone, I'm working with a Dropbox team account and currently integrating Google Sheets with Dropbox using Google Apps Script. Here’s what I am aiming to achieve: In my Google Sheet, each row represents a specific folder in our Dropbox account. Column C contains the shared link of the folder, and Column F is supposed to show the current path of the folder (path_display). Challenge: When I fetch folder metadata using the Dropbox API through Apps Script, it doesn't include the path_display information. I need this data to ensure that the paths in Column F are updated whenever a folder is moved within Dropbox. This setup is critical because it feeds into an interactive map we are creating with Google My Maps, where the folder paths correspond to specific elements on the map. Goal: Automatically update each folder’s path in Column F whenever there's a change in its location on Dropbox, to maintain accurate linkage in our Google My Maps project. Or more simply, run a function weekly that goes through every row and updates the column F with the most up-to-date folder path. Has anyone else encountered this issue of missing path_display data when fetching metadata via the Dropbox API? Any guidance on how to ensure that folder paths are dynamically updated in Google Sheets would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
List all files recursively inside a shared folder using the dropbox node sdk
Hi, trying to list all files recursively inside a folder shared with my account by another account through the Node SDK. The folder is inside Shared -> Folders.

According to OAuth2 Authorization documentation, the scope parameter is nullable, and as per RFC 6749, parameters without a value must be treated as omitted, with unrecognized parameters ignored. However, Dropbox's OAuth2 implementation returns the following error when the scope parameter is included: Error: "error": "invalid_request", "error_description": "unknown field \"scope\"" This behavior violates OAuth2 standards, as unrecognized parameters should not cause a failure.
