Sorry folks. Been too busy with other stuff. Hopefully sometime soon… [import]uid: 104085 topic_id: 26226 reply_id: 131431[/import]

This would be a great use of a module from Corona so there is a native cross platform option available. Dropbox is extremely useful functionality and very standard. [import]uid: 160288 topic_id: 26226 reply_id: 131442[/import]

Hi, I am not sure if this is what you guys want or if it is a preferred solution.

Instead of using dropbox, you could use Amazon S3 for filestorage in the cloud. I had it up and running a while ago, but I had to put a php script on my server, that after a upload - moved the file to S3. It worked perfect but the backside is that you need one more server as a tier to handle the upload.

I havent checked the dropbox API, but I am sure that there are php samples that you could use.

Dropbox is a much better option. If you are going to open up syncing for end users, they are likely to have a dropbox account, not very likely to have an S3 account, and S3 is much more complicated. [import]uid: 160288 topic_id: 26226 reply_id: 131476[/import]

I think the guy who wrote the Director class is working on some Dropbox stuff, not sure but I read it somewhere. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 26226 reply_id: 131502[/import]

Anyone have updates? I’ve been exploring this as well, but don’t want to reinvent the wheel as far as using the Dropbox REST API. Has someone put a good class together for this purpose yet? I’m looking to get a list of files in a Dropbox folder and process them (plaintext). [import]uid: 118600 topic_id: 26226 reply_id: 135705[/import]
