pre-signed URL

[andrea-sterpone]

I would like to know if dropbox API provides a functionality like https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/PresignedUrlUploadObject.html

My goal is to allow the browser to upload files directly to dropbox, but without providing dropbox credentials to the browser. I know on AWS it's possible creating a pre-signed url for doing that.

Thanks

No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer anything quite like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Just an update, in case someone finds this post. 

Since 2019, the Dropbox API has an endpoint for this: /files/get_temporary_upload_link.
