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.

Assigning a GUID to a folder via Properties
Greg................ happy holidays!.
Our App needs to add a metadata property, "app_id".
I can't follow from the ONLINE DOC's how to create the template as "property/template/add" isn't on the DOC SITE.
Our use case would be the following:
1) Add a GUID called "app_id" to a folder.
2) Be able to retrieve the folder by the "app_id" or to at least retrieve the METADATA via the app_id.
Please share some of that Dropbox wisdom on our situation. :-)
Apologies for the confusion! This is actually referring to the /2/team/properties/template/add route. You can find the documentation for that in the "Business Endpoints" documentation:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-properties-template-add
I'll ask the team to clarify this in the documentation.
For reference, that endpoint is located under the 'team' routes because it's only available for Business accounts.

- Greg-DBThe Dropbox API now offers the ability to use file properties from full Dropbox (non-Business) API apps:

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be corresponding methods for these endpoints.
