Download and Search for Files
Learn how to download and search for files using the endpoints for the files namespace.
We'll cover the following
In this lesson, we’ll see two important endpoints that’ll help us download and search files from Dropbox. These endpoint operations are the following:
download
search_v2
Download a file
In this section, we’ll see how to download a file using the /files/download
endpoint for the files
namespace. We need to enable the files.content.read
permission to make a call to this endpoint.
Request parameters
This endpoint takes only one required parameter, the path
of the file we want to download. We can specify a path in multiple ways: with a descriptive name of the folder or file, using the id
of the file as the path, or using the latest rev
of the file. Any of these methods can work.
