How do I resolve a 'ReferenceError: document is not defined at document.querySelector'?
I am working through the Dropbox Api tutorial on scrimba (https://scrimba.com/playlist/pnyeEhr) and ( https://scrimba.com/g/gdropbox). I am on the Render Files section. After coding the updateFiles method I am getting a ReferenceError. This may be because I had to change the top lines of code from: /*import { Dropbox } from 'dropbox'; const accessToken = 'myToken'; const dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken, fetch }); to: require('es6-promise').polyfill(); require('isomorphic-fetch'); var _dropbox = require("dropbox"); const accessToken = '<my access token>'; const dbx = new _dropbox.Dropbox({ accessToken: accessToken, fetch: fetchU }); ---------------------------------- My index.js code is: 'use strict'; require('es6-promise').polyfill(); require('isomorphic-fetch'); var _dropbox = require("dropbox"); const accessToken = 'my Token'; const dbx = new _dropbox.Dropbox({ accessToken: accessToken, fetch: fetch }); //const fileListElem = document.getElementById('.js-file-list') const fileListElem = document.querySelector('.js-file-list'); const state = { files: [] } const init = () => { dbx.filesListFolder({ path: '' }).then(res => { updateFiles(res.entries) }) } const updateFiles = files => { state.files = [...state.files, ...files] renderFiles() } const renderFiles = () => { fileListElem.innerHTML = state.files.sort((a,b) => { // sort alphabetically folders first if ((a['tag'] === 'folder' || b['.tag'] === 'folder') && !(a['.tag'] === b['.tag'])) { return a['.tag'] === 'folder' ? -1 : 1 } else { return a.name.toLowerCase() < b.name.toLowerCase() ? -1 : 1 } } ).map(file => { const type = file['.tag'] return ` <li class="dbx-list-item ${type}">${file.name}</li> ` } ) } init()Solved77KViews0likes3Comments

Is there a Upload widget that I can embed on my site?
Hello Dropbox and comminity! I was wondering if there is a dropbox upload widget that I can embed to my site for users to upload files to a specific folder of mine? Sharing is not the only important thing for me you see, we need our visitors to upload their content to us. We would like to set the maximum file size per upload to 2gb. Is this possible with Dropbox today? Thanks! JoeSolved52KViews3likes8Comments

Hi, i am using some of the http api endpoints to upload or download files. As i saw in the documentation the API access tokens never expire but can only be revoked. For some reason after i use my token for a day or so i get the message "expired_access_token". Then i need to create a new one. Of course i never revoked it manually or from the api. I have another account where there i don't have any issue. My token is still working after many months. I followed the same process to create both of them but still they are different. The token for my old account is 64 characters long but the new one is 139 and always starts with "sl.". Am i doing something wrong? Did anything change on how Dropbox is producing access tokens? Thanks in advance for any help.Solved47KViews5likes11Comments

Downloading Dropbox files using curl or wget
I prefer working on a Linux instance through an SSH session. How could I download the Dropbox files directly from the link through a terminal command? I tried the following but it does not work: curl https://www.dropbox.com/t/jdejjd83827HDHH?dl=1 -o test.zip -J -L -k The link in the example above is a made-up link. But the format of the links I receive from a provider is similar. Could someone help?39KViews0likes9CommentsDropbox should respond to Android Intent.ACTION_SEND
My android app uses the code below to allow users to back up an important file. A number of applications, including Google Drive, appear as suitable services to handle the file, but Dropbox does not appear, even though it offers the same functionality as Google Drive. Could you please change Dropbox so that it appears and my users can access it in this way? File F = new File(sdPath); if(F.exists()){ Uri U = Uri.fromFile(F); Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); i.setType("file/*"); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, U); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i,"Email/Upload '" + filename + "'")); }36KViews4likes15Comments
Downloading a file from using the Python Dropbox API
Hello, Sorry for the basic question. I'm updating the code I had for the V1 Python API and I'm having a trouble with the download function. Originally I used the following: f, metadata = client.get_file_and_metadata('/' + j) out = open(j) out.write(f.read()) out.close() Where 'j' is just a name of a picture from a list of names; this was what was used in the tutorial for the previous answer. Now, it seems that in the newest version of the API that function is gone and there seem to be two replacements: 'files_download()' and 'files_download_to_file()'. I'm confused because both essentially produce the same type of response: ( dropbox.files.FileMetadata , requests.models.Response ) What would be the correct way to transform the previous methodology to the new one? Thanks,Solved35KViews0likes7Comments
Sharing of folders inside the Apps/ folder
I have an application (madoko.net) where users rely on shared folders in dropbox to cooperate. However, I now need to give the application access to a users' entire dropbox and I would like to make it a restricted application under Apps/Madoko. Unfortunately, currently users are unable to share folders inside the Apps subfolder. Since the introduction of the recent sharing API I was hoping to see dropbox supporting this too. Is this feature still planned?? Thanks!, -- Daan34KViews32likes67Comments
