You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Sharing folders to users with viewer still permits downloads
I am working on an integration for our business that uses the API to shared a folder's content with an email attached to the order. Previously we used Google Drive to solve this but have experienced some issues and we would like to make Dropbox our new home. At the moment, I am granting the email addressed attached to the order viewer access like so: const url = 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member'; const payload = { members: [ { access_level: "viewer", member: { ".tag": "email", email: "email@addr.ess" } }, ], quiet: true, shared_folder_id: "<folder_id>" }; Essentially it does grant the user viewer access however they still have the option to download the folders content. Is there a way that we can restrict this? Essentially we are trying to prevent file sharing of our businesses documents.
Listing team folders and content
I need a critical help with question below. i am developing a backup and restore solution which backups data from dropbox and store in s3 bucket. I am using typescript lambda to achieve the same Now I have been so far successful listing the users in a dropbiox business account and listing their files and folders successfully Some snippets of code related to it are List users:https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/members/list_v2 Fetch team_member_id for these users Create dropbox client using const dbx: any = new Dropbox({ accessToken: access_token, fetch: fetch, selectUser: team_member_id }); Recursively call below to get all files and folders for that particular team member. Please note the access token is obtained using oauth flow using admin account if (cursor === "") { result = await retry(() => dbx.filesListFolder({ path: "", recursive: true })); } else { result = await retry(() => dbx.filesListFolderContinue({ cursor })); } Now I need to list all the team folders and its content too along with user specific content For it I tried Getting list of team folders using : const teamFolderUrl = 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/team_folder/list'; Get the team_folder_id Create dropbox client using const dbx: any = new Dropbox({ accessToken: access_token, fetch: fetch, }); Recursively call below to get all files and folders for that particular team member. Please note the access token is obtained using oauth flow using admin account if (cursor === "") { result = await retry(() => dbx.filesListFolder({ path: "/team_folder", recursive: true })); } else { result = await retry(() => dbx.filesListFolderContinue({ cursor })); } but I am getting error error: `Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": This API function operates on a single Dropbox account, but the OAuth 2 access token you provided is for an entire Dropbox Business team. Since your API app key has team member file access permissions, you can operate on a team member's Dropbox by providing the "Dropbox-API-Select-User" HTTP header or "select_user" URL parameter to specify the exact user <https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams>.` require your help in detailed understanding of the issue
How to configure the domain to the chooser's frame-ancestor
Hi~I used the chooser's iframe embedding (as shown in the code). However, it's not displaying correctly due to frame-ancestor restrictions. How can I add my domain to frame-ancestor? Is this in the app's setting page? It doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance~ const comp = new Dropbox.Chooser({ appKey: "", onSuccess: () => { }, onCancel: () => { }, linkType: "preview", }) Dropbox.mount(comp, document.getElementById("container"));
