Fulfilling a File Request via HTTP

Fulfilling a File Request via HTTP

Artem C.2
New member | Level 1

If I generated a file request URL, is there any way to upload a file to it programmatically? For example, here is a pseudo-curl request that I imagine:

curl -XPOST https://www.dropbox.com/request/2PY0o6x3LlNSZy38Yjsj?name --data @file.jpg

I know I could use the HTTP API to upload a file to an app folder instead, but it gives the client both read and write access to the target directory, and it requires me to share my access token if I’m to give this upload script to a friend or a colleague.

This is still not available in the API. Thanks for the additional feedback!

Are you adding https transfers to respond to FileRequests soon?

@jagada77 No, unfortunately it doesn't look like there are currently plans to implement this.

Need more support?
