Catching dropbox api error

[vauntmag]

Is there a way to catch the errors thrown by the dropbox api? Currently if a folder or file is not found, the api returns an error message, but Guzzle returns a fatal error...is there a way to capture that instead of throwing a fatal error?

Thank you so much for your help!

I came across the same issue. I fixed it by catching the exception this way:

<?php
        try {
            $folder = $dropbox->getMetadata("/Category");
        } catch (\Exception $e) {

        }
?>

Thank you so much for your reply.

Now, a really dumb question:

I use the following to connect:

$app = new DropboxApp( "all params required" ); $dropbox = new Dropbox($app);

I noticed you use the method connectToDropbox(), which I can’t seem to find in the documentation…can you please tell me what is the difference and if I should connect that way instead?

Many thanks in advance for all your help!

That is a function I have created to wrap the connection in. It's not needed.
