I need to save a file with a custom defined extension (e.g. test.nc). How can I do that using the Dropbox saver?
Apparently, there was a problem with my host configuration. I added MIME types that I need and everything works. So no problem with Dropbox API. It was my fault. Sorry for that.
If you're using the Saver via an <a> tag, you can set the "data-filename" attribute on that tag to be the filename, including extension, you want the Saver to use, like this:
<a href="URL_HERE" data-filename="filename.ext" class="dropbox-saver"></a>
If you're using the JavaScript interface, you can set the filename, including extension, in the "filename" value for the file the files list in the options you supply to the createSaveButton or save method, like this:
var options = { files: [ // You can specify up to 100 files. {'url': 'URL_HERE', 'filename': 'filename.ext'},...
Hello Greg,
I use the JavaScript interface from a server and of course I set the filename, including extension, in the "filename" value for the file in the files list in the options. When I set the filename with extension .txt it works fine. But if I set extension .obj which I need to use the Dropbox fails to save and returns an error: "Job reached maximum retry attempts"
My code looks like your Dropbox Saver sample. In url field I put url of my host with file name including extension at the end. In file name field I put name again with extension. If file has extension .txt everything is fine. But if I change the file extension to .obj Dropbox is not able to save the file and returns the error that I mentioned in the last post "Job reached maximum retry attempts".
