Dropbox Picker for folder?

Hello,
is it possible to use your Drop-Ins Filepicker to select a folder? I couldn't find any setting to achieve this. However the Drop-Ins for direct upload has a such a functionality...

Thanks for any advice!

    What a shame. All that work in creating a file picker and no way to return a folder path! :(

      Hello,

       

      We are using the dropbox plugins (picker, save) in our app and we need to upload a local file for a certain feature.

       

      Since this cannot be done with a URL with the dropbox saver I tried to create a folder picker and then upload with a rest request.

       

      Is there a way to upload base64 or a blob with the dropbox saver api ?

        The Dropbox Saver doesn't currently officially support saving files from data URIs or blobs, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
