Open with file explorer from anchor tag
Hi,
Is it possible to implement the "show in file explorer" option for folders from our own website similar to how it's done on dropbox.com? Our current workflow has us clicking on a link to t...
No, unfortunately that's not available via the API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
This is exactly the kind of information I needed. I could not figure out what was going on inside the webpage trying to step through the click handler.
I realize after looking at network traffic it sends requests to the following:
https://www.dropbox.com/unity_connection_log
https://www.dropbox.com/unity_open_log
The payload has a lot of variables that I'm not sure how I would get, but curious if anyone has been able to implement anything like this.
Maybe there is an easier way? I know Dropbox runs a program to actually open your file explorer window so maybe it would be easier to implement something that opened that program with the right parameters on your computer to open file explorer when you click a button that has the path. Some sort of browser extension maybe.

Hi Tim Lempicki,
There are lots of different tools to trace and evaluate particular connection of any kind. A typical example can be WireShark. Many tools availability is system dependent. If you have access to nc (or netcat), it's a very convenient tool for use in evaluation scripts too. Most of the programming languages (like Python) include in their standard libraries suitable tools. As such tools are countless, I (and not only) can't enumerate all of them, but hope above examples are good start point. 😉 Find what's most convenient to you.
Good luck.
