Concurrency support - follow up
Following up on https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-support/Concurrency-issue-failed-to-grab-locks/m-p/132270
Is the limitation that concurrent access to same users account would fail with "Failed to grab locks" still there? Any difference between dropbox personal vs enterprise?
I did see that in another there was mention of copy_batch, but that is only for copying multiple files/folders which are already uploaded to dropbox right?
We are looking to do concurrent downloads and uploads to the same dropbox enterprise user.
Thanks,
- Yes, that limitation still exists. The type of account doesn't affect this.
And yes, /2/files/copy_batch only enables you to copy multiple files that already exist on Dropbox.
The /2/files/upload_session/finish_batch endpoint does allow you to commit multiple files that you're uploading at once though. For more information on how to use this, please refer to the data ingress guide:

For reference, lock contention doesn't apply to downloads, as you're not modifying the account.
