Yes Error happens for all files with that name.
And this is the code we are using to retrieve the thumbnails of images.
public async Task<string> getThumbnailUrl(string path)
{
string url = string.Empty;
try
{
WebProvider objWebProvider = new WebProvider();
var uri = DriveUtilities.GenerateSignature(new Uri(string.Format(AppConstants.DropBox_GetMediaItem, path), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute),
"GET", DropBox_AccessToken, DropBox_AccessTokenSecret);
uri = await objWebProvider.GETRequest(uri).ConfigureAwait(false);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(uri) && !uri.Equals(AppConstants.Unauthorized))
{
DropBoxThumbnail result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DropBoxThumbnail>(uri);
if (result != null)
url = result.url;
}
else
{
path = WebUtility.UrlEncode(path);
var newuri = DriveUtilities.GenerateSignature(new Uri(string.Format(AppConstants.DropBox_GetMediaItem, path), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute),
"GET", DropBox_AccessToken, DropBox_AccessTokenSecret);
newuri = await objWebProvider.GETRequest(newuri).ConfigureAwait(false);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(newuri) && !newuri.Equals(AppConstants.Unauthorized))
{
DropBoxThumbnail result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DropBoxThumbnail>(newuri);
if (result != null)
url = result.url;
}
else
{
}
}
}
catch { url = path; }
return url;
}
