Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I'm using the Sync API on iOS. The app deals with a lot of large data files which have information in their header. I'd like to display this information (perhaps less than 1kb of data) to the user without having to download a file (anywhere up to 50mb and beyond). I can only find a way to load the entire file into an NSData but that would be too slow. Is there some way to load only the first part of a file?
I'd also like the possibility of creating and uploading thumbnails because Dropbox's servers aren't be able to create thumbnails for the files we use. Ideally we could upload a thumbnail in a common browser image file format (PNG, JPG or GIF for example) so that Dropbox could show users these thumbnails in other contexts.
Sure, the source for the iOS Core SDK is included in the download here:
I had downloaded the SDK a while back, but didn't notice that in addition to the DropboxSDK.framework folder (which I added to my Xcode project), the download included the sources, too. Thanks!
