file upload from html form via ajax

gangnamBoy

Hi,

 

I want to upload selected files from my html multi form via ajax to my dropbox

Folders!

I can upload files from my local Storage from my ressource folder, but I need to upload

the files I selected in my HTML Form. I send a FormData via Ajax and then get for each File

a HttpServerRequest( a vertx framework object). I think I need the certain input Streams 

for my selected files, but I dont know how.

 

Can anyone tell me how to deal with this?

 

thx

The Dropbox API does allow you to upload files to Dropbox accounts, but it's not designed to work directly from HTML forms.

You can upload files either from the client (e.g., in the browser via JavaScript) or server-side.

We recommend using one of the official SDKs, if possible:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation

For example, to upload directly from the browser, you would use the JavaScript SDK:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js

Or, you can upload the data to your server first, and upload it from there to the Dropbox API.

In any case, each of the SDKs has a tutorial for getting started, so I recommend working through those.
