Hi Dropbox,

 

We are currently using the following version in the Android apps. 

 

implementation 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:2.1.1'

 

We will update to the required version. But development, testing and user update will take much more than 1 month left. We ask Dropbox to give us more time to comply.

 

Thanks for the consideration.

Eric Z.6 Thanks for sharing this feedback. At this time I am unfortunately not able to offer extensions for this change, but I’m sending this feedback along to the team.

 

For reference, we did send earlier advance notices about this change by email last year, but it sounds like those did not make it to you. For instance, perhaps they were caught by a spam filter. Please make sure that the email address on the account that owns your API app(s) is correct and can receive email. Additionally, make sure you haven't unsubscribed from "API announcements".

    We are using libcurl and are sure it will fall back to the appropriate protocol as reported by the Dropbox API server. However, the final results depend upon the configuration of the server too.

    Is there a way to test or simulate the API server changes before 13th?

      enpapi The Dropbox API servers currently support TLS 1.2 and will continue to do so after support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 is disabled. Dropbox doesn't offer a way to simulate the new server configuration, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
