I'm working on a 3rd party tool that integrates the Dropbox API and I would like to be able to display the name of the user who last modified the file.
The API documentation doesn't seem to supply this information, but I just want to verify that I'm not overlooking anything.
Anyone have experience with this area of the Dropbox API?
I can verify that this is not currently exposed via the API.

I'm trying to integrate Google Drive using the SDK with my app written in VB.Net using API Key and I'm following this tutorial https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/dotnet/get_started#simple
What happens is that when calling the ExecuteAsync method, I receive back an Exception saying that the user does not have sufficient permissions for this file.
Basically, I only have the API key (with restriction to access only Google Drive API) and I don't want to ask the user for permissions, because I'd like to use a specific account (so everyone would be sending files to that account).
I couldn't find a way to "link" this API Key to a specific account also.
I ended up using a service account for the Google Drive API.
The idea here was quite simple, where I created this account and downloaded a generated JSON file that is used by the SDK to Authenticate and call the API.
With this service account, I didn't use the API Key and I could leverage Permissions
and set permissions to each user on each created folder.
I have two public folders in my google drive and I want my app to be able read images from one folder and read and write images to another folder. Is there a way to do this using the google api or any GET method and hopefully without needing to authorize or authenticate the user's google account? Thank you!
It's a cross platform application being developed in Lua using the Corona sdk
Unfortunately, you cannot access a particular drive without any authentication/authorization.
Every request your application sends to the Drive API must include an
authorization token. The token also identifies your application to
Google.
Same question was also raised in this SO post.
But there is an alternative if you go further in the answer of the SO post. This link maybe useful if you want to try the alternative.

The Dropbox API offers account information via the /account/info endpoint:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#account-info
The documentation there also covers which pieces of information are available.
Dropbox doesn't offer an official C# SDK, so you can either use the HTTP endpoint above directly, or use a third party library. There are some listed here:

I am trying to make a webpage that can display information about documents on my google drive. For example I would like to display the titles of all my google documents on a webpage. I don't want the user to have to be logged into a google account, and I don't want to have to authorize anything (or the user to authorize anything). I just want the user to be able to see what I display - in a read only format - when they navigate to the page. The user will have no chance to edit or upload or delete anything, they can just view the info I display.
Is there a way to get files from google drive (via the API or any other way) possibly without using oauth 2.0? I've looked through the api docs and even coded up the sample apps, but all of them have a step that says, "Go to this URL, click Allow, enter the code" then you get access. These steps shouldn't be necessary. I just want to download the file and be able to manipulate it (either in memory or as a stream) then display something about it.
Also, I may misunderstand how OAuth 2.0 works so if that seems like the case, any helpful information would be much appreciated. Thank you.
You don't need to authenticate your visitors into Google, but need to authenticate yourself, so your web app can retrieve data from your personal Drive.
Get an access token and refresh token for yourself, store them and autenticate your requests. If you're using one of our client libraries, most of them refresh the access tokens once they are expired. See Using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications for more details and OAuth 2.0 Playground helps you to understand how to get these tokens.
