Dropbox Picker for folder?
Hello,
is it possible to use your Drop-Ins Filepicker to select a folder? I couldn't find any setting to achieve this. However the Drop-Ins for direct upload has a such a functionality...
Thanks for any advice!

No, the Chooser doesn't support selecting a folder.
Check out the Kloudless File Explorer ( http://github.com/kloudless/file-explorer ). Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/pseudonumos/PB565/embedded/result/
The Kloudless Chooser allows you to prompt your users to select a folder in cloud storage.
What a shame. All that work in creating a file picker and no way to return a folder path! :(
Hello,
We are using the dropbox plugins (picker, save) in our app and we need to upload a local file for a certain feature.
Since this cannot be done with a URL with the dropbox saver I tried to create a folder picker and then upload with a rest request.
Is there a way to upload base64 or a blob with the dropbox saver api ?

The Dropbox Saver doesn't currently officially support saving files from data URIs or blobs, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. This is awesome.
I would be most greatful if you let me know here if there is a progress on this feature. Or if the team changes their mind on the picker being able to pick folder metadata, which seems to require a lot less work than the save update :)
Cheers- Greg-DBI'll make a note to follow up on this thread if/when there's an update on either feature request.
- Greg-DBThe Dropbox web Chooser now supports selecting folders as well as files, via the 'folderselect' option:
