    Input

    type: object properties: data: type: object description: > path: The path to the image file you want to thumbnail. format: The format for the thumbnail image, jpeg (default) or png. For images that are photos, jpeg should be preferred, while png is better for screenshots and digital arts. size: The size for the thumbnail image. mode: How to resize and crop the image to achieve the desired size. properties: path: type: string description: The path to the image file you want to thumbnail. size: type: object description: | w32h32: 32 by 32 px. w64h64: 64 by 64 px. w128h128: 128 by 128 px. w256h256: 256 by 256 px. w480h320: 480 by 320 px. w640h480: 640 by 480 px. w960h640: 960 by 640 px. w1024h768: 1024 by 768 px. w2048h1536: 2048 by 1536 px. properties: .tag: title: Choice of ThumbnailSize type: string enum: - w32h32 - w64h64 - w128h128 - w256h256 - w480h320 - w640h480 - w960h640 - w1024h768 - w2048h1536 mode: type: object description: > strict: Scale down the image to fit within the given size. bestfit: Scale down the image to fit within the given size or its transpose. fitone_bestfit: Scale down the image to completely cover the given size or its transpose. properties: .tag: title: Choice of ThumbnailMode type: string enum: - strict - bestfit - fitone_bestfit format: type: object description: | jpeg: None png: None properties: .tag: title: Choice of ThumbnailFormat type: string enum: - jpeg - png title: Data

    Output

    type: object description: > name: The last component of the path (including extension). This never contains a slash. id: A unique identifier for the file. client_modified: For files, this is the modification time set by the desktop client when the file was added to Dropbox. Since this time is not verified (the Dropbox server stores whatever the desktop client sends up), this should only be used for display purposes (such as sorting) and not, for example, to determine if a file has changed or not. server_modified: The last time the file was modified on Dropbox. rev: A unique identifier for the current revision of a file. This field is the same rev as elsewhere in the API and can be used to detect changes and avoid conflicts. size: The file size in bytes. path_lower: The lowercased full path in the user's Dropbox. This always starts with a slash. This field will be null if the file or folder is not mounted. path_display: The cased path to be used for display purposes only. In rare instances the casing will not correctly match the user's filesystem, but this behavior will match the path provided in the Core API v1, and at least the last path component will have the correct casing. Changes to only the casing of paths won't be returned by :route:`list_folder/continue`.

If this flag is present, it will be true if this file has any explicit shared members. This is different from sharing_info in that this could be true in the case where a file has explicit members but is not contained within a shared folder. content_hash: A hash of the file content. This field can be used to verify data integrity.
