Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello, I'm using file download from Dropbox in my app. It works fine when app is active, but if my app goes into the background the download stops. How can I fix it? I use this code to download:
private let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient
func downloadFile(_ file: TrackModelProtocol?, callback: @escaping () -> ()) {
guard let path = file?.path, let pathComponent = file?.fileName else { return }
if let client = client {
let fileManager = FileManager.default
let directoryURL = fileManager.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
let destURL = directoryURL.appendingPathComponent(pathComponent)
let destination: (URL, HTTPURLResponse) -> URL = { temporaryURL, response in
return destURL
}
client.files.download(path: path, overwrite: true, destination: destination)
.response { _ , error in
if let error = error{
print("Downloading from Dropbox fails: \(error)")
return
}
//Call some action after the download is complete
callback()
}
}
}
I'm closing this as a duplicate of: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Downloading-in-the-background-in-iOS-Sw...
