:open_mouth: No! Just opposite. Just some more work would be needed, because of missing SDK ready. And Between: again libcurl is C library, not C++, that's why ifstream object can't be 'stream' (i.e. cast) directly. :wink: Be careful.

@"hb_" :grinning: :sunglasses: Yes definitely. You are trying to implement something like new SDK, in fact. :wink: That's why I proposed this on the thread! To be more easy, at least for future. May be an easier way would be take a look on some existing SDK (on language familiar to you) and reimplement what's there (at…

The same. In addition you can use CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE (you can't rely on zero termination). :wink: Good example could be foud here.

It's error to pass ifstream object as char sequence! You have to read the file content. :wink:

@"hb_", the Dropbox application do exactly what you are looking for. What exactly isn't enough?

Hey @"hb_", Seems you have some progress. :wink: Most upload operations (no restricted to Dropbox) are POST based. It would be difficult (and impractical) to encode big file's content to GET parameters! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Further, every content is transferred as... content and you have to direct where this…

Hi @"hb_", Definitely the problem is not in cited code line. Did you set properly CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER parameter? :thinking: Hope this gives some direction. :wink:

Actually it's not like a system close! System close is process and system message is send to every one application which gives the opportunity the applications closing properly. 'taskkill' stops (pause or kill) particular process. If at that moment there are incomplete operation (for example buffered, but not saved still…

Hi @"jega", For almost full control over the application, if that's very important for you, switch to Linux (only few actions are still restricted to GUI interface - move the Dropbox dir in fact). :wink: Many companies do that! You can use independent data server machine, running Linux or just virtual one, depending on…

Ok @"ScottTexProp", You have a backup so may be the easiest way is to remove the Dropbox directory completely. Open Windows file explorer and using Ctrl+L key combination focus changes to address line. Clear the line and paste there "C:\Users\Userp" (without quotes, of course) and push Enter. After that, locate the Dropbox…

Hi @"ScottTexProp", Make difference between application window and disk folder. :wink: Open the file explorer see what you can find out there. Also, while trying the action again, close any other open application (after save current work). Hope this gives some direction.

Hi @"Reyofsun", To be sure that everything will be fine, before turn the PC on, from some other device go in your https://www.dropbox.com/account/security and unlink the PC. :wink: After that everything is safe. Good luck.

Ok, improper formulation. Is the Dropbox API support all unicode characters, i.e. such that can't fit in 2 bytes? The same question in different words!

Hi @"Greg-DB", Sorry for my fast response. Seems in particular case the names are not encoded properly, Yes. I just assumed that a developer know that http(s) transport is ascii-based. One provocative question in this context: Is You site (dropbox.com) follow the rules You just describe above? What I mean: After a try to…

Hi @"CFGtech", The answer is very simple, but unfortunately not good. Dropbox Unicode support is not full. I already have mentioned for this here (including in a ticket). Your query is one more voice. :wink: Let's hope we will see proper support someday.

Hi @"Daphne", While passing information to dev team about this issue, may be it's good to be added the fact that Dropbox don't recognize file move from file copy and delete! This is very important and noted multiple times in the forum, but seems without enough attention from Dropbox side. File moving is generic operation…

I'm a user like You. I'm not dropbox staff! Probably if You have more questions, Dropboxers can helps. I'm happy if my advices has helped You. :wink: Здравко Гърмев

Hi @"dbagadia", About the command line: Yes, You can, but I can't see any reason You should do that. But anyway, You can run the Dropbox daemon as You do to any other program. I will advise You to use the autorun functionality. About the username/password: Dropbox is using OAuth. At account link time (during install), new…

Hi @"dbagadia", :thinking: Using any endpoint from Dropbox API suppose driving in context of OAuth session. This in turn suppose access to a Dropbox account from both parties (either shared or 2 connected). Dropbox application is example for a utility which use the API and ready for use. In this context I can't see a…

Hi @"dbagadia", There are number of scenarios You can choose from. Most simple is, if You and the external party believe to each other so, the both of You can share the same account. In such a case You dont have to use any API. Just any device (desktop, laptop, phone, tablet...), where access to the shared files is need on…

Hi all, Anyone, who want direct access to the corresponding file, can replace ending 'dl=0' or 'dl=1' using 'raw=1'. Hope this helps. :wink:

Hi @"Nakturnal", Are You using beta version?! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Go to stable! Hope this helps!

Hi @"Diego5", May be one clarification can help. Are You using 'Selective Sync...' and if so, are the movement directed inside such a place? Hope this gives some 'hooks'! :wink:

I use Dropbox in Ubuntu and (if we ignore the relatively bad support) it work fine. Seem I wasn't clear enough about the mapping. I haven't used VmWare, but in VirtualBox, for example, without using any external tools, You cat select some folder in host file system and map content as content of a virtual drive in the…

Opp... Hmm... @"Pummelchen", One note here. The Dropbox debian package is little bit buggy :dizzy_face:. There are no any dependencies ceclared! So, You have to ensure that everything declared in system dependencies page is installed, the package manager can't ensure this (dependencies - missing)! Nonetheless, what about…

Hi @"Pummelchen", I will share some my experiences, may be similar to Yours. Sometime ago, every try to open Dropbox icon context menu for first time after service start, result in partially visible menu or entirely invisible. In addition it was impossible to close it using simple click on empty place or something like. It…

Most probably. From the system support point of view - same system set are supported (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android). The conception is little bit different. As I noted above, full virtualization is used and this is the basic part (on Dropbox the basic is direct directory sync), after that You can choose what and where…

@"readymade", As @"Lusil" already noted above, this is not fully supported on Dropbox.

@"readymade", Something more: Because the file will not be available locally to use it You need network! May be, if You want full virtualization, could choose another service like pCloud for example (there is drive/partition virtualization, not only the file system elements).

Sounds strange?! Why? Didn't You heard about different kinds of virtual file system? Typical case is NFS, also for Linux and Mac - FUSE (on Windows there are equivalent API)...
