iOS API v2: possible to overwrite files at upload?
I'm using the objective-c SDK for Dropbox API v2 and trying to do something which should be remarkably simple: upload text files to the user's Dropbox folder and if any changes are made to the file o...
You can certainly overwrite files using the API. For example, use -uploadData:mode:autorename:clientModified:mute:inputData: and pass in the desired 'mode' parameter, which should be a DBFILESWriteMode. You can use the 'overwrite' mode, but using 'update' with a rev value is safer, as it prevents accidentally overwriting new data the app wasn't aware of.
Thank you!

NSString *path = ...
NSData *data = ...
DBFILESWriteMode *mode = [[DBFILESWriteMode alloc] initWithOverwrite];
[[client.filesRoutes uploadData:path mode:mode autorename:false clientModified:nil mute:false inputData:data] response:^(DBFILESFileMetadata *metadata, DBFILESUploadError *routeError, DBRequestError *error) {
if (metadata) {
NSLog(@"%@\n", metadata);
} else {
NSLog(@"%@\n%@\n", routeError, error);
}
}];
