Saving a file with a custom extension

I need to save a file with a custom defined extension (e.g. test.nc). How can I do that using the Dropbox saver?

    Apparently, there was a problem with my host configuration. I added MIME types that I need and everything works. So no problem with Dropbox API. It was my fault. Sorry for that.

Hello Greg,

I use the JavaScript interface from a server and of course I set the filename, including extension, in the "filename" value for the file in the files list in the options. When I set the filename with extension .txt it works fine. But if I set extension .obj which I need to use the Dropbox fails to save and returns an error: "Job reached maximum retry attempts"
