add members to a file/folder

[skaros]

Hi,

I am using the dropbox-sdk-java, via Maven, and i unable to find a way to add members to a file(and later to a folder).

Could you provide with some pointers?

I think i have to use

DbxRawClientV2

DbxUserSharingRequests

But for one, i can not itialize DbxRawClientV2, if I try

DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig("example/DbApi");
DbxRawClientV2 rawClient=new DbxRawClientV2(config, getToken(AuthorizationFile));

I am getting

Cannot instantiate the type DbxRawClientV2

Thanks

You don't need to use DbxRawClientV2. You should instead use DbxClientV2, as shown in the examples, e.g., here.

Calling addFileMember would look like this:

DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig("example");
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, ACCESS_TOKEN);

List<MemberSelector> newMembers = new ArrayList<MemberSelector>();
MemberSelector newMember = MemberSelector.email("dbapitesting@gmail.com");
newMembers.add(newMember);

List<FileMemberActionResult> fileMemberActionResults = client.sharing().addFileMember("/test.txt", newMembers);
System.out.print(fileMemberActionResults);
