Hi, I'm developing an app using your dropbox API, and I have to upload various 
files to the service.

How can I do it?
I was trying to use FileReferenceList and from this obtain one by one the 
files. I thought  I can do it using an assignment from the fileList to a 
FileReference and then upload one file at time.

When I do it, I got a error and  it say that a value is null. I thought I can 
use the listener Complete for this fileReference created from the 
FileReferenceList, but it doesn't happen, because the node data is empty 
(file.data).

How could I upload more files?

Thanks and Greetings.

When i try using Dropbox Application Type: App folder, cant put file or folder, 
give some errors:
Forbidden
Invalid Signature
..etc

dropBoxAccessType: kDBRootAppFolder

Library working now only with Full Dropbox Access?

When uploading a large file 10Mb, the following message is received after a bit:

[Event type="DropboxEvent_PutFileFault" bubbles=false cancelable=false 
eventPhase=2] 

This seems to indicate that the upload failed, but if you wait, the upload 
actually finishes perfectly.  The faultHandler should not be called unless 
there is an actual failure.

Hello,

This is more a question than an issue.

I'm just wondering if the new '/delta' call will be implemented in the AS3 API 
? And if so, if you have an approximate release date ?

I'm about to start to devellop a new project using this API and I don't want to 
create a synch method if the '/delta' is available soon.

Anyway, this is a good opportunity to thank you very much for this great API !

Hi,

just wondering if there are any plans to add the dropbox sync api 
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/sync.

Would be quite a job i'd imagine!

Cheers,
Andy.

First, thank you for all the hard work in this library.  It will save me a huge 
amount of time.  Now to the problem... I wanted to use the recommended (by 
Dropbox) way of authenticating a user - with their email and password, but the 
library gave me an error every time I tried to use token().  I downloaded the 
source code, and modified token to work (code shown below).  It seems that 
token() is much simpler to call because it does not need to have the 
"urlRequest.requestHeaders = [urlReqHeader];" created by Oauth - if that makes 
any sense. *Please* fix this issue, so I can use this wonderful library. Thank 
you!!!

With the change to token() below... when running the app, the Account Info 
button works fine, however when I go to Upload File I get the error {"error": 
"The input field 'Upload' was not expected."}.  Trouble is the only reference 
to Upload I can find is in the MultipartURLLoader.as that I also downloaded the 
source code for to compile.  Maybe I am using a newer version of this file than 
you are using.  Here is my token() code:

    import flash.net.URLVariables;
...
        public function token(oauth_consumer_key:String, email:String, password:String):URLLoader 
        { 
            var url:String = config.tokenUrl; 
            var params:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            params.status_in_response = "true";
            params.oauth_consumer_key = oauth_consumer_key;
            params.email = email;
            params.password = password;
            var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); 
            urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; 
            urlRequest.url = url; 
            urlRequest.data = params; 

            var urlLoader:DropboxURLLoader = new DropboxURLLoader(); 
            urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT; 
            urlLoader.eventResultType = DropboxEvent.TOKEN_RESULT; 
            urlLoader.eventFaultType = DropboxEvent.TOKEN_FAULT; 
            urlLoader.resultType = ACCESS_TOKEN; 

            urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, tokenCompleteHandler); 

            urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler); 
            urlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler); 

            urlLoader.load(urlRequest); 
            return urlLoader; 
        }

Hi, I think what you've made is excellent. Afraid I'm having some trouble 
getting it to work in Flash Pro. I took the dropboxTest.as from a previous 
posting (see html above), made very few modifications (removing all reference 
to 'onstage' stuff) and provided a key and a secret.  

I am sure I'm doing something silly. Perhaps it is the way I provide the key 
and secret via config.setConsumer("key","secret").  Would much appreciate your 
help :)  Thanks, Andy.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take example from http://code.google.com/p/dropbox-as3/wiki/EXAMPLES
2. The constructor of DropboxConfig Class takes arguments. 
3. This is not in the example.

Could you please update the examples code with real working code?
Thanks!

Sidney

I cant find any tutorial or docs

I want the user to be able to log in to my air app

and then be able to play music or view images from the shared folder.

Is this API only for streaming from online or is there a way to access the path 
to the duplicated folder on the desktop?

How does it deal with shared folders?

thanks

Please let me know what am I doing wrong here...

What steps will reproduce the problem?

doing this:
dropboxConfig = new DropboxConfig( 'xxx', 'yyy' );

If you're not familiar with swc libraries, it's a little tricky to build them, 
unless you know what you're doing. It would be handy if you included them in 
the wiki or in a source checkout or something. For the record, this is how I 
did it on a Mac with the command line tools:

svn co http://dropbox-as3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dropbox-as3
cd dropbox-as3
compc -compiler.source-path=./HsDropbox/src -library-path+=./HsDropbox/libs

-How do you fix this error? thanks .

Apologies in advance for what most likely will be a stupid question.

I thought I remembered from a year ago that when you get metadata for a folder, 
you get file info from it and all subfolders (recursive).  

Perhaps I wrongly remembered as the only way I've found for me to get all the 
files in a directory and subdirectories is to run
dropAPI.metadata(folder, 1000, "", true) and if a folder is detected, run 
another dropAPI.metadata but for the subfolder, and so on (the data contained 
in the folder is not reported). 

My Q is, is there a simpler way of doing this?

Thanks,
Andy.

Hi,

I think there is a problem with the following line in the files_put function -

var url:String = this.buildFullURL(config.contentServer, 
OAuthHelper.encodeURL('/files_put/' + root + '/' + ((filePath == null || 
filePath == "") ? "" : filePath + '/') + fileName), "https");

If you call this function with an empty path it gives an error e.g.
Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: 
https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/dropbox//RMD_5709.jpg

Note the // before the file name.

Even though you have a check for null or empty string in the function I think 
it needs some extra brackets -

var url:String = this.buildFullURL(config.contentServer, 
OAuthHelper.encodeURL('/files_put/' + root + '/' + ((filePath == null || 
filePath == "") ? "" : (filePath + '/')) + fileName), "https");


Cheers,

Rob.

Hi! Isee that the library doesn't have any update since May, it is possible to 
get source code to make some improvements? I'm very interested in this project, 
if you want I could help you. 

Small files seem to be downloaded fine.  I am not sure exactly where is starts 
breaking, but if I download a file of about 1.5 Mb it gives me the following 
message on download...

[Event type="DropboxEvent_GetFileFault" bubbles=false cancelable=false 
eventPhase=2] {"error": "Invalid signature. Expected signature base string:

}

Note: I have modified the source code slightly to show me the response from 
Dropbox.com as part of the faulthandler in HsDropboxAPIAppAs.as as follows:

private function faultHandler(evt:Event):void 
{ 
    var obj:Object = evt;
    Alert.show(evt.toString() + " " + obj.resultObject);

Hi grossopa,

First of all, thanks for the library! It has made working with Dropbox for me 
quick and easy!

I have a glitch to report: 
When uploading a file to a folder with space(s) in its name, if the folder is 
more than one level deeper than the root, a new folder is created instead with 
"%20" in the name instead of the space(s).

Example:
Uploading file.txt to "/Shared/Folder with spaces" ends up in 
"/Shared/Folder%20with20%spaces". This however won't happen if we upload to 
"Folder with spaces" which lives directly in the root of the Dropbox account.


The reason is simple and easy to fix:

In DropboxClient.as, in the function putFile() the filePath string gets escaped 
twice (if it has more than one subfolder in it):

var url:String = encodeURI(this.buildFullURL(config.contentServer, '/files/' + 
root + '/' + buildFilePath(filePath)));

buildFilePath() replaces the spaces in filePath with %20 and then encodeURI() 
tries to do it once again and we end up with %2520 instead of each space.

Not calling buildfilePath() fixes the problem when uploading:
var url:String = encodeURI(this.buildFullURL(config.contentServer, '/files/' + 
root + '/' + filePath));

The way buildFilePath() works is potentially a problem too, for cases when 
escaping is necessary, as it doesn't do escaping, unless we have a path 
containing at least two levels:

private static function buildFilePath(filePath:String):String
        {
            if (filePath.indexOf('/') < 0) {
                return filePath;
            }
...
}

I've fixed my read-only check in and it does the job for me. I hope you could 
check a fix in the repository.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks a lot!

Hi there,

afraid I am getting this error message when trying to get a file:
{"error": "Invalid signature. Expected signature base string:

AccountInfo, MetaData, CreateFolder functions all work really well though :)
Would appreciate your help, thanks,

Hi there,

to give the dropbox-as3 api a try, I registered a testApp to get a consumer key 
and secret. 

My appCompleteHandler function looks like this:

public function appCompleteHandler():void
{
    var config:DropboxConfig = new DropboxConfig('abc123', 'def456');
         config.setConsumer('abc123', 'def456');
         //config.setRequestToken();
    //config.setAccessToken();
    dropAPI = new DropboxClient(config);
}

I passed the consumer key and secret twice, because the DropboxConfig() needs 
at least 2 arguments, not sure with that. 

The Example compiles correctly. When I hit the RequestToken button, the 
application fails at getRequestToken() -> dropAPI.requestToken();

What's wrong?

I'm on Mac, AIR 2.6

Thanks!

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Try running the demo included, with a newly obtained API key.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should work. But it doesn't because the Dropbox library uses the v0 API 
apparently. My API key is rejected:  "You're using an older version of the 
Dropbox API with a new API key. Please use the latest version."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
dropbox-r24.swc, currently on Windows and Mac.

I am using your example-code and managed to make requestToken-calls, 
eMailLogin-calls and accessToken-calls successfully, but I am confused when to 
use RequestToken-call, eMailLogin-call and accessToken-call in general. I did 
not manage to make a GetAccountInfo-call ("accountInfo()") at all.

Please correct me if I am wrong:
1) The RequestToken-call should be only called once in the whole live time of a 
client. It returns a URL to allow the client to access a users drop-box-data. 
Once this permission is granted it should not be called (unless the user erases 
the permission).
1.1) Is there a way to check if the user has given the permission allready?

2) What are differences between eMailLogin-call ("emailLogin()") and 
accessToken-call ("getAccessToken()")?
Even if the user has revoked authorization I get a successfull response via 
eMailLogin-call, but not via accessToken-call.
2.1) What do I have to do with the key/secret I get in return from these two 
calls (and which are displayed in the "accTokenKeyLabel" and 
"accTokenSecretLabel" in your example-code). Does your AS3-API store them for 
me and they are only displayed as a visiual feedback for the devveloper in your 
example?

If you could explain these issues in more detail, it would be AWESOME! :)
Thank you very much in advance!!!

Any way to get the progress of Getfile?  I'd like to add a progress bar when 
downloading a file through Dropbox in my app, since the files used can be large 
and I can't figure out how.

Hi, just a heads up that the filePath given to you by dropbox via metadata 
contains a leading / which kills the below function.
cheers,
Andy.


public function getFile(filePath:String, rev:String = "",
                                                                root:String=DropboxConfig.DROPBOX):URLLoader
                {
                        var params:Object = null;
                        if (rev != "" && rev != null) {
                                params = {
                                        rev : rev
                                }
                        }
                        var urlRequest:URLRequest = buildURLRequest(
                                config.contentServer, "/files/" + root + '/' + filePath, params);
                        return this.load(urlRequest, DropboxEvent.GET_FILE_RESULT, 
                                DropboxEvent.GET_FILE_FAULT, "", URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY);
                }

Can you provide an example for Flash Professional CS5? I have attempted to make 
it work, but I keep getting:
[Event type="DropboxEvent_RequestTokenFault" bubbles=false cancelable=false 
eventPhase=2]

Hello this seems to be a great start of Accessing Dropbox through AIR. But I'm 
a little confused by this step:

config.setConsumer('WHAT DO I PUT IN HERE?? Users EMAIL?', 'WHAT DO I PUT IN 
HERE? USERS PASSWORD?');
config.setRequestToken('IS THIS THE APP TOKEN?', 'IS THIS THE APP KEY?');
config.setAccessToken('input user's access token key here', 'input user's 
access token secret here');

Would there be any way of getting you to do a more detailed tutorial? :)

Does the api provide a method, where in If I have a user open and enter his/her 
username and password to access his dropbox account. 

the Dropbox api has something like: 
https://api.dropbox.com/<version>/token to give me back the consumers/secret 
key pair

Please provide any additional information below.

The dropbox api metadata call (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/docs#files), 
gives path information for each file, but dropbox-as3 doesn't support this. 
This is a pretty easy fix. In fact, I've included a patch to do this.

https://gist.github.com/787397

If there's anything you're unsure about anything in the patch, I'm open to 
suggestions.

How to detect when the user has authorized ?

I do not know when or where I have to run the function "getAccessToken()" .

I am using the version r30.swc  under windows operating system .

Flex 4.6 ;

thank's !

1. I registered a test app to get my own key and secret
2. I replaced key and secret in the code: my config.setConsumer(my key, my 
secret)
3. what do I have to fill in at setRequestToken() and setAccessToken??

Is this all I have to do to connect to dropbox? So now I must be able to upload 
files without extra prompts?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the latest r30 swc
2. request token
3. type in email & password, click the "Email/Password" button in the sample 
app.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Action token should be returned. Instead, Alerts shows that
"OAuthError in API v1+. Request mis-signed: Invalid signature."

The library works brilliantly just a few days ago but now when i use again, 
zero modification to the file, and it no longer works.

Hi,

I found two issues in the decode function of the delta call.

First the "_has_more" getter/setter is not correctly set if the delta call 
returns has_more as true.

You set the setter like this :
this.has_more = result['has_more'] == "true";
But it should be :
this.has_more = result['has_more'] == true;

JSON decodes the string "true" as a boolean, not a string.
Same thing applies for :
this.reset = result['reset'] == true;

The second issue is that if you have a deleted entry, this entry won't have a 
file object so you can't decode it.

So this is what I did :
var e:Array = result['entries'], n:int = e.length, i:int = 0, f:DropboxFile;
for(i;i<n;i++){
 f = new DropboxFile();
    //CHECK IF NULL, IF NULL : IT MEANS FILE IS DELETED
    if(e[i][1] != null)
    {
        f.decode( e[i][1] );
        entries.push( f );
    }
    else
    {
        f.path = e[i][0];
        f.isDeleted = true;
        entries.push(f);
    }
}


I take the opportunity to thank you again for this great work, it saved me many 
hours of development.

Hi, I used dropbox-r51 and the example to access my dropbox account in my 
desktop app, and the Authorization API Implementation steps works just fine. 
But when i tryed to use the functions fileCopy, fileCreateFolder, fileDelete, 
fileMove they throw an error. 

I would very much appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

could you advise how I can specify the type of access to DropBox through your 
awesome project.

The dropBox API reference specifies the below (I need to specify 'app_folder' : 
it did not feel right in creating a dropbox App for my software that had access 
to a person's entire dropbox folder :)

(https://www.dropbox.com/developers/start/authentication#python)
# ACCESS_TYPE should be 'dropbox' or 'app_folder' as configured for your app
ACCESS_TYPE = 'INSERT_ACCESS_TYPE_HERE'
sess = session.DropboxSession(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET, ACCESS_TYPE)

Thanks!
Andy.

I solved, replacing in OAuthHelper->buildURLRequestHeader

But I have no idea if it could be correct in terms of security or what else.

Note: this could potentially be duplicate of issue 25.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On your Dropbox account create a folder with an apostrophe in the name (for 
example "Clare's plant")
2. Try and upload a file to that folder, using HsDropbox.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of having the file appear in the folder, it refuses to upload and an 
"Invalid signature" error is thrown.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v32
Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, also iOS 5


Please provide any additional information below.

I tried a workaround, which fixes the problem for apostrophes for me, but a 
proper fix will be needed, which deals with characters, such as %, etc. in the 
folder names.

The workaround:
I tried encoding the ' in the url, passed to DropboxClient.putFile(), but saw 
that in the "Invalid signature" error message the "expected signature base" 
string had the ' encoded twice - i.e. instead of %27, it contained %2527 where 
the ' should be.

To make these match I had to do the following:

1. In DropboxClient.putFile() encode the ' in url once, just before the 
following line:
m.load(url);

2. In OAuthHelper.getSignableString() encode the ' in the url twice, just 
before returning the result (ret).

This is just a workaround, which fixes an immediate problem I have, but isn't a 
proper fix and won't help with folders, which contain % in their name.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. This can be reproduced even using the example code provided here.
2. It may be necessary to use a newly created "app key" and "app secret" to 
observe this failure message.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The failure notice, delivered by an alert window, can be seen by 'clicking' the 
demo apps "Create" button. Please note that within the demo code's 
'appCompleteHandler()' function I am executing the...

    config.setConsumer("<appKeyFromDropboxGoesHere>" , "<appSecretfromDropboxGoesHere>");

...instruction. I am new to "dropbox-as3" (thanks so much for coding it, by the 
way :) ) so please forgive me if I am misunderstanding something critical.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS 10.7.2 / Flash Builder 4.5 & the 4.5.1 SDK


Please provide any additional information below.
In the Dropbox developer area I've read reports of others experiencing this 
same "You're using an older version of the Dropbox API with a new API key. 
Please use the latest version." message (though these others are NOT using 
AS3). The replies to these issues invariably tell the reporter that their 
interface to Dropbox must be updated. This is what makes me suspect this same 
problem may be affecting "dropbox-as3".

Thanks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Register for new app for dropbox API
2. Use standard dropbox-as3 API calls after requesting and authorizing tokens
3. Any folder functions will fail

It appears that the default functionality for dropbox-as3 is to use "sandbox".  
Sandbox seems to be disabled for any new applications.  

So the example below will fail by default
dropAPI.fileCreateFolder(testFolder); 

Where as this will succeeed.
dropAPI.fileCreateFolder(testFolder, 'dropbox');

This isn't made clear in the example so perhaps it should be updated or 
"sandbox" should no longer be default?

I'm making a desktop application with Flex, and I need to get some pictures 
links hosted on Dropbox. But I need to permanently dispose of those links.
I need the time to expiration on the bonds is greater.
I can only use the function media(), because the links do not pass through the 
dropbox server...



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

dropbox r-33.swc  - Flex 4.6 under windows 7 

Please provide any additional information below.

Is there any way to fix this?

thank's!

Seems to have something to do with the file name.  If it has any special 
characters in the file name, it returns this type of error:

[Event type="DropboxEvent_MetadataFault" bubbles=false cancelable=false 
eventPhase=2] {"error": "Invalid signature. Expected signature base string: 
GET&http%3A%2F%2Fapi.dropbox.com%2F0%2Fmetadata%2Fdropbox%2F13033397032751%2FTes

ture_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1303340848%26oauth_token%3Dxs7kah50s
leorlm"}

For example, uploading "Test.txt" works fine,
uploading "Test Copy.txt" fails with Invalid Signature,
uploading "Test - dash in file name.txt" fails with Invalid Signature
