Search through dropbox files using their API


Is there a way to search through a dropbox account to find a file with your own app using their API.

For example I want to find all *.jpg in my drop box account from my app. or all files containing the word 'smile' in the title. etc.

I have been searching but either its not provided or i'm not searching with the right terms.


Solution

  • Have you tried the full core REST API? I found this in their documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#search.

    It looks like you can search the way you want using that API. I have never used the dropbox API, but figured I'd help if I can. Hope it helps!
