save_url endpoint

Hi, I really would like to use the save_url endpoint to save user created data from a server to the user's dropbox account. Alas, I can't. In my case, and I am sure in many other applications too...

Thanks for the post! I'm sending this along as a feature request.

I can't make any promises as to if or when that would be added though, so if you control the resource host, as a workaround you can instead generate URLs that contain random, unguessable tokens, and/or that are time-limited which you would then supply to Dropbox.

    Thanks Greg,

     

    What in addition would be REALLY great if there were also an optional "url_method" member with the possible values GET (default), PUT and POST. That would make the save_url endpoint a great feature to save and restore server based user data to DropBox.
