Delete, Download, and Search Files
Learn how to delete, download and search files using the Dropbox API.
In this lesson, we’ll look at three important endpoints that will help us delete, download, and search files from Dropbox. These endpoint operations are the following:
delete
download
search_v2
Delete a file or a folder
The files/delete_v2
endpoint deletes a file or a folder from a specified location. If we provide a path to a folder, then all of its content will also be deleted. It requires us to enable the permission files.content.write
to perform this action.
Let’s delete the DestFolder
that we created with the copy_v2
endpoint.
Request parameters
