You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
API 'Connection Aborted' Error
Hello! I'm downloading files from an App Folder. I am downloading each one by one, totaling over 3000 files. I left the program to run and after 201 requests I got the error pasted below. I don't have a VPN or anything that would change my wifi connection as far as I know. Here is the code I am using: print("Initializing Dropbox API...") dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN) topn = filenames[:len(filenames)] for val in topn: filepath = val #download a file to the local machine with open("/Users/<PATH>/dataimport.csv.gz", "wb") as f: metadata, res = dbx.files_download(path=filepath) f.write(res.content) print("download complete") The error: RemoteDisconnected Traceback (most recent call last) File /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:789, in HTTPConnectionPool.urlopen(self, method, url, body, headers, retries, redirect, assert_same_host, timeout, pool_timeout, release_conn, chunked, body_pos, preload_content, decode_content, **response_kw) 788 # Make the request on the HTTPConnection object --> 789 response = self._make_request( 790 conn, 791 method, 792 url, 793 timeout=timeout_obj, 794 body=body, 795 headers=headers, 796 chunked=chunked, 797 retries=retries, 798 response_conn=response_conn, 799 preload_content=preload_content, 800 decode_content=decode_content, 801 **response_kw, 802 ) 804 # Everything went great!
