Important: Apps using the official Dropbox .NET, Java, or Python SDKs must update their SDK installations by January 2026 for continued compatibility with the Dropbox API servers. Please refer to this blog post for more information: dropbox.tech/developers/api…

@dropboxapi Hi, I found /files/download API fails(returns 400) since few days before. some APIs like /get_metadata, /get_thumbnail are still returns successfully. I'm sure /files/download args 'path' is correct. Is there any information about this issue?

@ArgjendKras Dropbox API refresh tokens don't expire, but can be revoked on demand by the app or user.

@ArgjendKras Yes, you can catch and handle the 'expired_access_token' error returned by any particular API call and/or keep track of the expiration information originally returned with the access token as mentioned in that thread.

@nathancarter5 We'll take a look at your question and follow up with you there.

Hi, @dropboxapi. Is there a best practice for using an app key in both development and production while keeping it secure? stackoverflow.com/questions/7854…

@myrepurpose This should be resolved now.

@dropboxapi URGENT -> dropbox.com/static/api/2/d… is not longer loading. Is it down?

@myrepurpose Thanks for the report. We're looking into it.

@voiceactivity Thanks for the report. We've received your support ticket and will follow up with you there.

@dropboxapi What is this new rlkey= in api response?

@ArgjendKras To create new shared links, use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings ( #sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dropbox.com/developers/doc… ). To retrieve existing links, use /2/sharing/list_shared_links ( #sharing-list_shared_links" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dropbox.com/developers/doc… ). By the way, we have a forum for help with the Dropbox API dropboxforum.com/t5/Developer-A…

@ArgjendKras @Dropbox @DropboxSupport You can connect your own Dropbox account to your own Dropbox API app. Please refer to the OAuth Guide for information on connecting accounts to apps: developers.dropbox.com/oauth-guide

@chrisatlatenite The Dropbox API doesn't offer functionality for Replay unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be available though.

@dropboxapi Is there any API documentation for Dropbox Replay? I'm interested in adding Dropbox Replay support to markertoolbox.io so that you can import Markers directly into Final Cut Pro.

For information on how to request and use “refresh tokens” with the Dropbox API for long-term unattended access, check out our new blog post “Using OAuth 2.0 with offline access”. dropbox.tech/developers/usi…

@gamesover @DropboxSupport That post is correct. We began rolling out that change last year. (Note that the September 30th date in that post is 2021, not 2022.) Dropbox now issues new access tokens as short-lived access tokens. We are not invalidating existing long-lived access tokens.

@DropboxSupport I found this community support solution from May 2022 that answered my questions. dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API… Q: Is 9/30 still the deadline? That's the date mentioned in this 9/2020 tech post: dropbox.tech/developers/mig…

Hey @Dropbox regarding 9/30 deprecation deadline, will this token become short-lived too? (My app is scoped w/o users.) "By generating an access token, you will be able to make API calls for your own account without going through the authorization flow."
