Saver API
I have a website. I want to store files from clients in dropbox servers for security reasons. So, I want to have a Form with some fields and the Saver API button for upload. When my clients use the...
I am sorry if my query was not complete or misleading. Please allow me to rephrase the same as follows:
The client(s) will upload sensitive (bank account statements, invoices etc) using the contact form on my WordPress Website.
Now, my question is when the client clicks the "Save to Dropbox" button, will the file he uploads goes directly into DropBox account or will it first get uploaded to the WordPress Website and then from there it goes to the DropBox account
I just tried the demo of the Saver in the documentation . When i drag and drop a file, a new tab on the chrome opens titled blocked - " about:blank#blocked ". NOTE : I am already signed into dropbox in another tab and when the button is clicked it shows the folders and files of my dropbox account
I am truly sorry to have not properly communicated the first time.
Thanks

To clarify, the Dropbox Saver itself does not accept uploads of new files directly from the end-users. It requires that the web app supply the file(s) by the web app specifying the URL(s) for the file(s).
So, if the files are coming from the end-users, you'd need to first (using your own code) accept the file uploads from the end-users onto your server, and then create the URLs on your server which you would then pass to the Dropbox Saver, which the end-users could then use to save the files to their Dropbox accounts.
