Upload SQLite Not a Database
I have been able to get the Dropbox SDK working for objective C. The problem I am running into is that when I upload my backup of a SQLite database it is no longer being recognized as a DB. After som...
UPDATE: good news is I was able to find some code that worked in uploading the file and the subsequent download and restore is now working.
New smaller issue:
I need to figure out the code to allow overwrite as if the backup already exists then it will fail on upload currently.
[[client.filesRoutes uploadUrl:@"/backups/Backup.sqlite" inputUrl:databasePath]
setResponseBlock:^(DBFILESFileMetadata *metadata, DBFILESUploadError *uploadError, DBRequestError *error) {
if (metadata) {
NSLog(@"The upload completed successfully.");
NSLog(@"File metadata:");
NSLog(@"%@", metadata);
[self enableRestore];
} else if (uploadError) {
NSLog(@"Something went wrong with the upload:");
NSLog(@"%@", uploadError);
} else if (error) {
NSLog(@"Something went wrong with the API call:");
NSLog(@"%@", error);
}
}];- Greg-DB

I'm glad to hear you already sorted out the original issue.
To control overwriting, you should use this version of the uploadUrl method, which takes a 'mode' parameter. The 'mode' parameter accepts a DBFILESWriteMode object, which you can set to your desired write mode, such as "Overwrite". There's an example of that here.
Greg - thanks as always for the reply. This code is where I started from. Using that code (uploadData) the SQLite file was not retaining itself as a DB. Switching to the code I have now with uploadUrl is functioning as expected with the exception of the overwrite issue. I will chose the overwrite issue and possibly just code around it if there is no alternative.
