Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
We're using Dropbox api v2 for a development.
To download a file from an existing account we're calling your :
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_temporary_link and passing the file path in the request.
We get a response containing an url :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/apitl/1/XXXXXXXXXXXX
In a HTML file from a link or a button we do a window.open of this URL.
This works 100% in Chrome and Firefox but with IE 11 we often get a blank page the file doesn't download.
It sounds that even copying the download address in IE address fails ...
It appears that it also works from time to time.
It sounds like something IE can't access properly to the link or the link is not responding ...
Do you know of such an issue ?
Can you try to reproduce ? I can help if you need.
It's very important for us as we really need IE to be supported.
Thx
Thx Greg,
Do you have any workaround to handle the issue ?
What if I create a shared link with settings and add an expiry on the link ?
Arg it sounds like I need my users to have a dropbox plus account to set up an expiry date ?
It's the case from the API like from the UI ?
