Create Property Template in API2 Java
Hi,
I want to save some custom properties to a file that I upload. It appears that in order to add property/property groups, I need to supply a template Id but I'm not able to find a way to create/add a template using the Java SDK. Can you provide some pointers on the process for creating templates?
Thanks
- Greg-DBDropbox StaffThe endpoints for adding templates aren't currently exposed, as the feature is still in development. I'll send this along as a request for them though.

Any news about how can we add custom properties to a file?
- Greg-DBDropbox Staff
Yes, this functionality is now available. You can find the documentation for them in the Java SDK here, starting under "propertiesAdd":
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/
The other official SDKs also have methods for these.
Or, if you're not using an SDK, you can find the corresponding HTTP endpoints documented here:
