Developer console app
Hi Team, We are trying to provide dropbox support into our existing application which uses file-stack for uploading files. We followed this tutorialand created an APP from the developer console. Currently our app (dropbox developer console) indicates it is in development mode and supports maximum of 500 users although it freezes once it reaches a count of 50 as per documentation. From the same documentationhttps://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/developer-guidewe also got to know that we need to proceed with "Apply for production" CTA in order to take our app to the production where any number of users can be connected to the app. We just wanted to understand if we want to "apply for production" where n number of users can connect to app, Are there any charges involved in this ? Awaiting your response Regards, Rohit Raut
How to upload file via Curl with Binary object input?
Hello, good evening for all. I would like to know, how I can to upload file using a Curl request, or PHP Curl request, with the upload file request. But instead I use the parameter o filepath, I use the binary object inside body request, for example, some 010101101011010101010 binary code inside request instead of "/folder/filename.extension" . Because I am building a system client-server that a user can upload a file, sending by Post request to server, and the server must to take this file via $_ENV[] and insert it into a request to upload to Dropbox. And doesnt a way to server save temporary file inside your filesystem because the your provider is ephemeral, and so, because it i have to insert the file binary data inside request. I will be grateful.
