How to append to existing file
Hi
Using api v2 Is it possible to append to end of an existing file?
- The Dropbox API doesn't offer a call to append data to an existing file, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
You'll need to upload the full contents of the new version of the file instead.
hi there,
I am new to dropbox and looking at the options offered for file sharing, i wonder why there is not an append to file one. Why ? when people from a group modify a document (write) some information may be deleted. When appending to the document, the owner can see what was added or requested to delete, and then the owner can aggregate all the comments to finalise the doc.

I'm looking for this opportunity too. I need to add batches of jpeg frames to a video. And I should be able to watch video any time. If recording frames separately there will be many files.
I think it might be upload_session. You just need the file to be available immediately throughout the upload. A 12 hour session is enough for me. One day would be optimal. File within 50 mb. Rarely up to 200 MB.
- Thanks,
How to be notified of the new release?- Greg-DBI'll make a note to follow up on this thread if/when this feature is implemented and released.
