Chooser

Dear Dropbox team.

We are now using your services which are really good.

Among them, we use Chooser to allow our users to select Dropbox files.

In detail, we allow user to select multiple files from their Dropbox folder (linkType = 'direct').

Then, we use these public links to download all those files into our system to process later.

Please have a look at our Dropbox options for Chooser:

 

    $scope.dropboxOptions = {
        success: function(files) {
          $scope.selectDropboxFileSuccessCallback(files);
        },
        linkType: "direct",
        multiselect: true,
        folderselect: false
    };

 

 

Everything were going smoothly. But yesterday we faced an issue.

When choosing around 341 files with total size about 14Gb, it took more than 60 seconds to finish generating links for those files (then call function $scope.selectDropboxFileSuccessCallback above);

 

Because of their issue, we would like to improve some points:

• Show progress bar when Chooser generating file links (right now it stays like freezing when loading)
• Close the Chooser popup and still run the generating file links process in background. After finishing then still call function $scope.selectDropboxFileSuccessCallback above.

But we don't know weather

• There is already a configuration for Chooser to achieve the 2 improvements above?
• You would like to implement those points?

Regards,

Vu Nguyen.
