Want to perform Download Operation
Hi everyone!
I want to perform download operation but it is only give information about file
I use this :
try {
outputViews.write(documentUtility.newDocument(client.files().download(filePath)));
} catch (DbxException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
I want to perform download operation. If their any other way to perform or if their any need to changes please help in this
Thank you!
Hi Adi4,
Keep in mind that download method, you're using, returns DbxDownloader object representing the entire response, not directly the content! This object contains the file metadata as well as stream usable for fetch the actual file's content. As seems, you handle object as data - something that stringify current object state (usually the metadata).
Hope this gives direction.

Adi4 Здравко is correct; that download method returns a DbxDownloader, not the file data directly. Refer to the linked documentation for more information on using that functionality.
