Dropbox usersGetCurrentAccount no member compiler error - ios

Question

Using IOS 9.1, running on Xcode 7.1.1. under El Capitan. I am trying out the tutorial on accessing dropbox thru their (new maybe) SwiftDropbox library by following this page.
https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/05/try-out-swiftydropbox-the-new-swift-sdk-for-dropbox-api-v2/
Started well, managed to connect and get authorised, but unable to do much more cause the code posted to their tutorial doesn't compile.
if let client = Dropbox.authorizedClient {
// Get the current user's account info
client.usersGetCurrentAccount().response { response, error in
if let account = response {
println("Hello \(account.name.givenName)")
} else {
println(error!)
}
}
// List folder
client.filesListFolder(path: "").response { response, error in
if let result = response {
println("Folder contents:")
for entry in result.entries {
println(entry.name)
}
} else {
println(error!)
}
}
Complaining that DropboxClient has no member "usersGetCurrentAccount" or "filesListFolder" which I assume are some sort method calls {pretty new to swift too}. Can not seem to google any useful leads on this? What should this code read/say?

Bon,
THANKYOU smarx; you put me on the right path. Here is the final code; with two minor fixes to the tutorial he mentioned here.
// ViewController.swift
import UIKit
import SwiftyDropbox
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBAction func linkButtonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
if (Dropbox.authorizedClient == nil) {
Dropbox.authorizeFromController(self)
} else {
print("User is already authorized!")
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Verify user is logged into Dropbox
if let client = Dropbox.authorizedClient {
// Get the current user's account info
client.users.getCurrentAccount().response { response, error in
print("*** Get current account ***")
if let account = response {
print("Hello \(account.name.givenName)!")
} else {
print(error!)
}
}
// List folder
client.files.listFolder(path: "").response { response, error in
print("*** List folder ***")
if let result = response {
print("Folder contents:")
for entry in result.entries {
print(entry.name)
}
} else {
print(error!)
}
}
// Upload a file
let fileData = "Hello!".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)
client.files.upload(path: "/hello.txt", body: fileData!).response { response, error in
if let metadata = response {
print("*** Upload file ****")
print("Uploaded file name: \(metadata.name)")
print("Uploaded file revision: \(metadata.rev)")
// Get file (or folder) metadata
client.files.getMetadata(path: "/hello.txt").response { response, error in
print("*** Get file metadata ***")
if let metadata = response {
if let file = metadata as? Files.FileMetadata {
print("This is a file with path: \(file.pathLower)")
print("File size: \(file.size)")
} else if let folder = metadata as? Files.FolderMetadata {
print("This is a folder with path: \(folder.pathLower)")
}
} else {
print(error!)
}
}
// Download a file
let destination : (NSURL, NSHTTPURLResponse) -> NSURL = { temporaryURL, response in
let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
let directoryURL = fileManager.URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)[0]
// generate a unique name for this file in case we've seen it before
let UUID = NSUUID().UUIDString
let pathComponent = "\(UUID)-\(response.suggestedFilename!)"
return directoryURL.URLByAppendingPathComponent(pathComponent)
}
client.files.download(path: "/hello.txt", destination: destination).response { response, error in
//client.files.download(path: "/hello.txt").response { response, error in
if let (metadata, url) = response {
print("*** Download file ***")
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url)
print("Downloaded file name: \(metadata.name)")
print("Downloaded file url: \(url)")
print("Downloaded file data: \(data)")
} else {
print(error!)
}
}
} else {
print(error!)
}
}
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}

You're reading a blog post from May about an early preview version of the SDK. Lots of things have changed since that post! Check out https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/swift#tutorial for an up-to-date tutorial.
I believe you want users.getCurrentAccount and files.listFolder.
