Create a folder
I want to create a folder as soon as the user login in the app,
i tried the following function to create folder but i can see no folder is created..
I am calling this function after the login..
CreateFolder() { let args={ "path": "/Homework/math", "autorename": false } let headers = new Headers(); headers.append('Authorization','Bearer'+this.accessToken); headers.append('Dropbox-API-Arg', JSON.stringify(args)); headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json'); console.log("created folder"); return this.http.post('https://api.dropboxapi.com/2-beta-2/files/create_folder',{headers:headers}); } }
dropboxlogin() { this.dropbox.login().then((success) => { this.navCtrl.push(DropboxloginPage); this.dropbox.CreateFolder(); this.showToast("folder created"); }, (err) => { console.log(err); }); }

What's the response from the server? Does the call succeed or fail? If it's failing, the response will probably tell you what's wrong.
If I had to guess, it's `Bearer'+this.accessToken. You seem to be missing a space there... try 'Bearer '+this.accessToken instead.- Steve M.

Oh, I also see /2-beta-2/ in your URL. I'm not sure whether that's still expected to work, but you should really switch to /2/. Again, the HTTP response would tell you if that's the problem.
Note that /create_folder has been deprecated in favor of /create_folder_v2, so I'd recommend switching to that too: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-create_folder_v2.- VITHIKAExplorer | Level 3
I made the changes,but still I cannot find any folder created..I am getting the toast as alert created,but when I am opening the dropbox,I cannot find the new folder created...
CreateFolder() { let args={ "path": "/invoice", "autorename": false } //this.dropbox.filesCreateFolder(args); let headers = new Headers(); headers.append('Authorization','Bearer '+this.accessToken); headers.append('Dropbox-API-Arg', JSON.stringify(args)); headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json'); console.log("created folder"); return this.http.post('https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2',{headers:headers}); } }
