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.
Getting the files (svgs and images) in a public Dropbox folder
I have a public Dropbox folder that would have a bunch of files in it (the user can paste their own public link). In that folder, I want to be able to get all the files that are there; specifically images. I would like to get their names, links, thumbnails etc and then have the user download them. For now, I would just like to see what files are in a folder. Any help on how I can achieve this would be greatly appreciated. I am using the Javascript SDK.
Sharing folders to users with viewer still permits downloads
I am working on an integration for our business that uses the API to shared a folder's content with an email attached to the order. Previously we used Google Drive to solve this but have experienced some issues and we would like to make Dropbox our new home. At the moment, I am granting the email addressed attached to the order viewer access like so: const url = 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member'; const payload = { members: [ { access_level: "viewer", member: { ".tag": "email", email: "email@addr.ess" } }, ], quiet: true, shared_folder_id: "<folder_id>" }; Essentially it does grant the user viewer access however they still have the option to download the folders content. Is there a way that we can restrict this? Essentially we are trying to prevent file sharing of our businesses documents.
GET TEAM FOLDER SIZE
Hi, I want to get the folder size for all my team folders. I am excecuting the following code in python using dropbox SDK : import dropbox import dropbox.team import time from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor from logging_config import logger def team_folder(dbx_team, member_id_admin, save_client😞 start_time = time.time() logger.info('Executing extraction of team folders') result = dbx_team.team_team_folder_list() team_folders = result.team_folders folder_details = [] for folder in team_folders: folder_info = { "ID": folder.team_folder_id, "Name": folder.name } folder_details.append(folder_info) #save as json block logger.info("Team folder details have been saved to team_folder.json") end_time = time.time() logger.info("Finished team_folder method in %.2f seconds", end_time - start_time) list_all_contents_teamFolders(folder_details, dbx_team, member_id_admin, save_client) def handle_listing_result(result, namespace😞 """Processes each page of file/folder entries. Refer to the documentation for information on how to use these entries: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder""" teamFolder_files = [] for entry in result.entries: entry_size = getattr(entry, 'size', 0) # Use '0' if size attribute is not present entry_parent_shared_folder_id = getattr(entry, 'parent_shared_folder_id', '') entry_dict = { "type": str(type(entry)), "path": entry.path_lower, 'size': entry_size, 'parent_shared_folder_id': entry_parent_shared_folder_id, 'namespace_id': namespace } teamFolder_files.append(entry_dict) return teamFolder_files def process_namespace(dbx_admin_with_ns, namespace_id, save_client😞 logger.info(f"Processing namespace: {namespace_id}") teamFolder_files = [] try: listing_result = dbx_admin_with_ns.files_list_folder( path="", recursive=True, include_media_info=False, include_mounted_folders=True ) teamFolder_files = handle_listing_result(listing_result, namespace_id) while listing_result.has_more: listing_result = dbx_admin_with_ns.files_list_folder_continue(cursor=listing_result.cursor) teamFolder_files.extend(handle_listing_result(listing_result, namespace_id)) path_to_save = 'teamFolderSpace/' + namespace_id + '_pathFilesTeamFolder.json' logger.info(f"Uploading files to blob: {path_to_save}") .....save block....... logger.info(f"Upload completed: {path_to_save}") logger.info(f"Finished processing namespace: {namespace_id}") return teamFolder_files except dropbox.exceptions.InternalServerError as e: return logger.error(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}") except Exception as e: return logger.error(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}") def list_all_contents_teamFolders(folders_id, dbx_team, member_id_admin, blob_client😞 start_time = time.time() start_position=0 namespace_ids = [folder['ID'] for folder in folders_id] with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5) as executor: # Adjust max_workers as needed futures = [] for i, namespace_id in enumerate(namespace_ids[start_position:], start=0😞 logger.info(f'Submitting folder {i + 1}/{len(namespace_ids)} with id {namespace_id}') future = executor.submit(process_namespace, dbx_admin.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id(namespace_id)), namespace_id, blob_client) futures.append(future) .......save block............ end_time = time.time() logger.info("Finished team_folder method in %.2f seconds", end_time - start_time) return "Finished team_folder method" However the excecuting time is extremely long. How can I get the same more efficiently?
How to determine admin user to be used in select_admin for team folders?
I am using below api to get the list of all users.

Listing team folders and content

I am using typescript lambda to achieve the same Now I have been so far successful listing the users in a dropbiox business account and listing their files and folders successfully Some snippets of code related to it are List users:https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/members/list_v2 Fetch team_member_id for these users Create dropbox client using const dbx: any = new Dropbox({ accessToken: access_token, fetch: fetch, selectUser: team_member_id }); Recursively call below to get all files and folders for that particular team member. Please note the access token is obtained using oauth flow using admin account if (cursor === "") { result = await retry(() => dbx.filesListFolder({ path: "", recursive: true })); } else { result = await retry(() => dbx.filesListFolderContinue({ cursor })); } Now I need to list all the team folders and its content too along with user specific content For it I tried Getting list of team folders using : const teamFolderUrl = 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/team_folder/list'; Get the team_folder_id Create dropbox client using const dbx: any = new Dropbox({ accessToken: access_token, fetch: fetch, }); Recursively call below to get all files and folders for that particular team member.

Since your API app key has team member file access permissions, you can operate on a team member's Dropbox by providing the "Dropbox-API-Select-User" HTTP header or "select_user" URL parameter to specify the exact user <https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams>.` require your help in detailed understanding of the issueHow to configure the domain to the chooser's frame-ancestor
Hi~I used the chooser's iframe embedding (as shown in the code). However, it's not displaying correctly due to frame-ancestor restrictions. How can I add my domain to frame-ancestor? Is this in the app's setting page? It doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance~ const comp = new Dropbox.Chooser({ appKey: "", onSuccess: () => { }, onCancel: () => { }, linkType: "preview", }) Dropbox.mount(comp, document.getElementById("container"));
