Dropbox API Creating Shared link settings Error.
I have a program in Python 3.9 which cleans data every morning, creates a final dataset, and then uses the dropbox api to create a shared link with settings (password) for the file, then email that l...
Very interesting. Do you recommend I upload the file straight to dropbox using the API over using util to simply copy it over from my local directory?
I arbitrarily chose 60 seconds of time to give dropbox time to fully sync up the file in the application folder. Each file is on average 500MB. Do you recommend I go with a longer length of time just to make sure the sync works with sharing no matter what. One minute here and there is no issue.
So, when running my program I generate the dataset in a folder not in the dropbox app folder, then use shurtil.copyfile to copy that file into the dropbox application folder.
shutil.copyfile(oldpath,dropbox_app_path)
Then to create dailyfile_csv I do
dailyfile_csv = newpath_csv_dbx.replace('\\','/')[40:]This takes something like ""D:\Dropbox\Apps\App Folder Name\Daily Data (2020-12-29).dta" and turns it into "/Daily Data (2020-12-29).dta", which is what the dropbox api wants.
I do indeed see my file "dailyfile_csv" in the application folder - is there anything else that may be going on?
That smiley face is actually: "40 colon ]"
