Download folder as ZIP in api v2?
One of my apps that i'm trying to migrate from API v1 to v2 uses the v1 functionality where you can download https://content.dropboxapi.com/1/files/auto/path/to/folder, and dropbox sends you a ZIP fi...
Hi Tim, API v2 doesn't offer zip folder downloads, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
(Also, I'm not sure exactly what functionality you're referring to on v1, as there's no documented/supported zip folder download functionality on the /files endpoint you're referring to. Perhaps you're referring to the ability to download a zip from a shared link for a folder using the dl or raw URL parameters? That's unrelated to API version.)
I may have a question in the same category or case! I use the premium version of Dropbox with my another business account with Dropbox. I am developing a portal for my client where I want to give my client an option to download bigger files like 5GB. So, what you think is it possible with v2 api to let my client download 5gb files at a time using direct download?
If no, what is the maximum limit of download zip at a time or how much file size can handle v2 api to download at a time?

The /2/files/download_zip endpoint, for downloading entires folders as zips, however, does have some limitations. You can find information on those in the documentation.
