14 TopicsSharing 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.Embedder and tags
I have a HTML page that offers a textbox in which the viewer can write certain keywords. After clicking ENTER, the images are loaded in iframes according to the keywords. My problem is: how do I write this is JS so that it can be integrated on a Dropbox Embedder app? Also, I did not find a way to know if I should tag all images in Dropbox or modify their metadata in advance? I expect that all images with same keyword are shown in page, inside their respective iframes.Solved973Views0likes9CommentsListing team folders and content

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 issue883Views0likes10CommentsSubject: Issues Adding Tags to Files Using Dropbox API with Refresh Token and Appropriate Scopes
Hello Dropbox Community, I'm encountering an issue when trying to add tags to files using the Dropbox API. Here’s a brief overview of my setup and the problem I’m facing: Setup: - API Version: Dropbox API v2 - Authentication: OAuth 2.0 with a refresh token - Scopes: My app is configured with the necessary individual scopes, including `files.metadata.write` and `file_properties.write`. - Functionality: I’m attempting to add custom tags to files using the `/file_properties/properties/add` endpoint. Problem: Despite having all the necessary permissions and the access token being generated via a refresh token with the correct scopes, I’m unable to successfully add tags to files. The API call fails, and I receive an error response, which suggests that the operation is not permitted or that there is an issue with my setup. Here is a summary of the steps I’m taking: 1. Authorization: I authenticate using a refresh token to obtain an access token. 2. API Request: I send a POST request to the `https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_properties/properties/add` endpoint with the required parameters: - `path`: The path to the file where I want to add the tag. - `property_groups`: The tag information, including the template ID and the tag value. 3. Error: The API responds with an error indicating that the tag cannot be added. What I’ve Tried: - Ensured that the access token is valid and has the required scopes. - Verified that the file path and template ID are correct. - Tested the API call with both shared and non-shared files, and ensured that the file is accessible with the current token. Question: Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with adding tags using the Dropbox API? Is there something I might be missing in my setup or the API call? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help! --- Feel free to post this in the Dropbox community forums.

Hi Team, We are trying to provide dropbox support into our existing application which uses file-stack for uploading files. We followed this tutorialand created an APP from the developer console. Currently our app (dropbox developer console) indicates it is in development mode and supports maximum of 500 users although it freezes once it reaches a count of 50 as per documentation. From the same documentationhttps://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/developer-guidewe also got to know that we need to proceed with "Apply for production" CTA in order to take our app to the production where any number of users can be connected to the app. We just wanted to understand if we want to "apply for production" where n number of users can connect to app, Are there any charges involved in this ? Awaiting your response Regards, Rohit Raut8.7KViews0likes1CommentHow to upload file via Curl with Binary object input?
Hello, good evening for all. I would like to know, how I can to upload file using a Curl request, or PHP Curl request, with the upload file request. But instead I use the parameter o filepath, I use the binary object inside body request, for example, some 010101101011010101010 binary code inside request instead of "/folder/filename.extension" . Because I am building a system client-server that a user can upload a file, sending by Post request to server, and the server must to take this file via $_ENV[] and insert it into a request to upload to Dropbox. And doesnt a way to server save temporary file inside your filesystem because the your provider is ephemeral, and so, because it i have to insert the file binary data inside request. I will be grateful.5.2KViews0likes4Comments
