Save files to dropbox using the save file function
Hi,
Today i saw this feature that allow a user to just click a button to save the file to the dropbox account. So i was thinking in taking advantage of this feature by creating a page were i just type the direct location on a input field and after pressing the button the file gets transfered.
I have tried diferent techniques after reading the developers documentation but without any luck. there is a problem with file location or it doesn't work.
Any comments or help this
Thanks

huasa You should be able to use non-ASCII characters in the filename for the Saver, as long as you properly set the charset for the HTML or JavaScript file accordingly.
If the file URL's hostname contains non-ASCII characters though, convert it to punycode first and that should avoid the "Invalid host" error. If there are non-ASCII characters on the URL outside of the hostname, e.g., on the path, URL encode those first.
