Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I see you can add properties to a file, is there anything availble for folders?
Sorry, sorted this. Should be
List<PropertyFieldTemplate> p = new List<PropertyFieldTemplate>(){
new PropertyFieldTemplate("FieldName", "FieldDesc", String.Instance),
};
The /2/file_properties/properties/add endpoint can be used to add properties to folders, but only for user-owned templates. It doesn't support adding properties to folders for team-owned templates.
If you do want to use team-owned templates for this, let me know and I'll pass this along as a feature request.
Hi Greg,
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm currently trying to create a Template using the NET SDK .FileProperties.TemplatesAddForTeamAsync
How do you set the property type? I'm using the following
List<PropertyFieldTemplate> p = new List<PropertyFieldTemplate>(){
new PropertyFieldTemplate("FieldName", "FieldDesc", new PropertyType().AsString),
};
When I use new PropertyType().AsString it returns null. Not sure how I should set this. Thanks
Sorry, sorted this. Should be
List<PropertyFieldTemplate> p = new List<PropertyFieldTemplate>(){
new PropertyFieldTemplate("FieldName", "FieldDesc", String.Instance),
};
I'm glad to see you already sorted this out.
I also see that you are using team-owned templates, so I'll send this along as a feature request for support for setting properties for team-owned templates on folders in addition to files.
Hi Greg,
Thanks, Would it be possible to get a reference for this feature request please?
We don't have a separate public feature request tracker for the API. This forum thread serves as the reference for this request and I'll follow up here if/when I have any news on it.
Any update on custom metadata for team-owner folders?
@gabestritz1 No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this request.
