Coldfusion File Write

Coldfusion File Write

CFUser
New member | Level 2

We currently have a process that uses a Coldfusion web application to copy files that are submitted on our website to a local network share that we maintain. We are anticipating moving to a Dropbox Pro account for some of our files though and would like to migrate that process to Dropbox. Unfortunately our web server is on a shared commercial site so we don't have the ability to install anything special such as the regular Dropbox application that creates a drive letter on the box. Has anyone had any success getting Coldfusion to write a file to a Dropbox account (probably using CFFILE or CFHTTP)? Is there a SIMPLE example or instructions anywhere that we can see? Again, we don't need anything fancy...just a simple single file upload. Please let us know. Thanks!

I don't have a example of using the Dropbox API with ColdFusion unfortunately, but perhaps someone else on the forum does.

For reference, to upload a file using the Dropbox API, you can use the /2/files/upload endpoint:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload

There's a curl example there that may serve as a useful example for translating to ColdFusion.
Need more support?
