How to use Dropbox API v2 to rename a file

I'd like to rename a file on Dropbox using the HTTP API.

According to the new docs, it is possible to move, but not to rename?

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move

I'd also like to be able to modify other metadata, especially client_modified, without having to re-upload the file.

Is the documentation current, or are there additional features available?

Solution

  • Ah, great, I found out that the move API can be used to rename as well.

    Great!

    Still unable to modify client_modified for existing files though.
