Dropbox and Lazarus

Hello.

I am relatively new to programming. I have created an application with lazarus. For its best operation I would like through the link to be able to download and upload a file. So far I can download it and save a copy on my computer. I would like to ask if it is possible to upload the file to dropbox via the link. If so is there an example with the required parameters? If not is there a library or add-on for lazarus?

Thanks

  • Hi magleft,

    Unfortunately your environment language (Pascal) is NOT supported directly by Dropbox. Yes, using regular web queries you can download files pointed by URLs like shared links.

    Unfortunately upload to a link (I suppose you mean file request) isn't so easy, cosa it's not a simple request. Such types of upload targets to Web interfaces (browser) and completely unsupported by Dropbox by any other way.

    You can look around for some community driven library (SDK) targeting Pascal. Another way is direct driving calls to Dropbox API. In other words to do something like your own SDK (no necessary literally). Using Lazarus utilities/libraries for web calls you can perform all needed API calls, like any SDK would do. Take a look on the user API list. You can test/prototype your calls using API Explorer. 😉

    Happy diving in programming world!
