The remote server returned an error: (414) Request-URI Too Large.

Hi Ashley, the cursor can get very large like this when the account has many shared folders. The 414 error indicates that the URI (including the parameters, in this case, the long cursor) is too long to be processed.

Instead, you can include the parameters in the body of the API call, not on the URI itelf. For example, in curl, that would mean instead of doing something like this:

curl -X "POST" "https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/delta?cursor=CURSOR_HERE" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"

you would do something like this:

curl -X "POST" "https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/delta" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE" \
    --data "cursor=CURSOR_HERE"

(Also, I should note that API v1 is deprecated, so we recommend migrating to API v2 as soon as possible.)
