Newbie: Create Folder / Add file from Cloud apps to Dropbox via API

DeepaGovind

Hi All,

#Newbiehere.'

 

I need to create Folder(s) in Dropbox, based on specific record-triggers @ Zoho creator. Following which, I need to upload files (txt / docx/ xlx/ppt/png/jpg/pdf/zip/rar) to definite folders in dropbox via API.

 

Kinda lost where to start, where to get auth token etc.

Any help is great help

Thanks in advance

To get started, we recommend using one of the official SDKs, if one is available for your platform:

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

Each one comes with documentation and a getting started guide.

Alternatively, you can use a third party library:

Or, you can use the HTTP endpoints themselves:

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

For example, to create folders you would use the /2/files/create_folder_v2 endpoint:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-create_folder_v2

And to upload files, you can use /2/files/upload:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload

There are corresponding methods in the SDKs.

Also, the OAuth guide is a good reference for understanding how the app authorization process works:
