It will instead return short-lived access tokens, and optionally return refresh tokens. If your app already handles and stores these values as string types rather than integers, no action is required.Īs a reminder, on September 30th, 2021, the Dropbox OAuth flow will no longer return new long-lived access tokens. We’re notifying you in case your application’s code and data storage can’t handle this string pattern. While the Dropbox API specification has indicated the string data type for these fields, the actual values returned by the API have been string representations of integers. Field names such as ns_id, target_ns_id, previous_parent_ns_id, new_parent_ns_id, root, namespace_id, shared_folder_id, parent_shared_folder_id, team_folder_id, team_folder_ids, root_namespace_id, home_namespace_id, member_folder_id and nspath would be impacted by this change. They are used in the API to refer to shared folders, team folders, and root folders.

Namespace IDs refer to folder permission spaces. That means that namespace IDs may contain letters, numbers, and the symbols “-”, “_', and “:”.

Typically no action is required for applications built with up-to-date libraries in modern environments, as TLS 1.2 has been available on major mobile & desktop operating systems since 2014.ĭevelopers whose application may be run in older or unusual environments should investigate to ensure compatibility.Īs a reminder, on September 30th, 2021, the Dropbox API will begin returning new namespace IDs as strings with the format String(pattern='+').

Users of the Dropbox Python SDK should update to v8.4.1 (released November, 2017) or later.

Users of the Dropbox Java SDK should update to v3.1.1 (released June, 2019) or later.

The latest Dropbox SDKs will select the best TLS version for the environment, but SDKs over two years old may require updates. Traffic using TLS 1.0 or 1.1 will be rejected. We’ll be making a few updates around ID formats & tokens this September and to TLS support early next year-you’ll want to review to ensure your app handles these correctly.īeginning February 1st 2022, the Dropbox API will require that calls use TLS 1.2. Are neccesary some updates about this message recibed from DROPBOX?
