MoveResource Method

Moves a resource.

Syntax

dropbox.moveResource(fromResource, toResourcePath, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method moves the resource FromResource to a new path ToResourcePath.

FromResource must be a path, an Id-based relative path, or a resource Id. ToResourcePath must be a path or an Id-based relative path (it must always end with the name of the file/folder resource being moved).

The AllowOwnershipTransfers configuration setting must be enabled before calling this method if a move operation would result in the current user transferring their ownership to another user (or to a team).

The RenameIfExists configuration setting may be enabled before calling this method to have the server automatically resolve naming conflicts.
