How to get a path to a Dropbox file in order to use the files_download function in python?
As a real newbye in python I'm trying to download a single file from my dropbox account. I've got the Dropbox token and written such a function: def download_file():
dbx = dropbox.Dr...
Yes, that's all that is required. The path would be the remote path to the desired file inside the Dropbox account. For example, for a file named "myfile.txt" inside a folder named "Documents", the path would be "/documents/myfile.txt".
You can also get these values from the API, e.g., using files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue. (Call files_list_folder with the path "" to list the root.) You would use the resulting Metadata.path_lower for the desired file.

That is it!
I wrongly wrote the pathname with backslash (doubled of course),..
Thanks.
