  thank you guys for your insight, appreciate it yeah @Здравко  I have recently started using boost, as a matter of fact the reason I've been searching a way to use c++ to upload file to dropbox is that I have found out the way to search files recursively by their extension, so I thought of going in Disk D:\\ and uploading all the files with .jpg or .mp4 extensions. I know what you're thinking, Dropbox application can even upload a whole folder but it is a lot more fun to do that with code, specially since I am C++ beginner. @Greg K. ooh, thanks for this info, I will stop cracking my head with that library ...

I know, I just hope Dropbox releases it not in a distant future ... View more

As I said, I will keep looking Thank you for your time @Greg K.  As for DropBox I will be expecting an official C++ SDK soon  Edit: As a note I found  a repo on github, a dropbox api c++ library that on looks seems to do what I want but I haven't figure the whole code out and get it to work https://github.com/rahuliyer/dropbox-cpp @Здравко @Greg K.  if you guys could check it out some time and try to figure the code out and hit me back that would be awsome nit only for me but for anyone that wants to do what I want to do ...

I have some basic knowledge of C and I am aware of the C limitations I really thank you @Здравко  for investing so much time trying to help me. I really appreciate it. I will keep looking for a way to do what I want. Hopefully @Greg K. will come with a solution ... View more

C code still works on C++, so any C code that can do what I am intending to do would be useful to me. And I need to know that 'some more work' so I can do it ... View more

@Здравко so you are saying that currently there's no way to upload file from my computer to my dropbox account using c++ via curl?? ... View more

@Здравко I have spent some trying to figure the code out and I did, not everything though, but I couldn't apply it to my code. It looks like it is the hard way to do that @Greg K. any clue? ... View more

@Здравко yeah you are right I can read a text file content into a char and pass it as a parameter but what aboout a audio file or a video? ... View more

Hi @Greg K. , thanks for replying so quick I followed your suggestion and tried tp use std::ifstream like this: CURL *curl; CURLcode res; /* In windows, this will init the winsock stuff */ curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); /* get a curl handle */ curl = curl_easy_init(); string test = "D:\\Desktop\\test.txt"; std::ifstream file(test); if(curl) { printf ("Running curl test.\n"); struct curl_slist *headers=NULL; /* init to NULL is important */ headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Authorization: Bearer <my_access_token>"); headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\":\"/test.txt\"}"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, file); curl_easy_setopt (curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); /* Perform the request, res will get the return code */ res = curl_easy_perform(curl); /* Check for errors */ if(res != CURLE_OK) fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res)); /* always cleanup */ curl_easy_cleanup(curl); printf ("\nFinished curl test.\n"); } curl_global_cleanup(); printf ("Done!\n"); but it didn't compile displaying this error: C:\Min.GW\curl-7.64.1-win64-mingw\include\curl\curl.h|2857|error: use of deleted function 'std::basic_ifstream<_CharT, _Traits>::basic_ifstream(const std::basic_ifstream<_CharT, _Traits>&) [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>]'| But before that I had this code: CURL *curl; CURLcode res; /* In windows, this will init the winsock stuff */ curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); /* get a curl handle */ curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { printf ("Running curl test.\n"); struct curl_slist *headers=NULL; /* init to NULL is important */ headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Authorization: Bearer <my_access_token>"); headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\":\"/D:\\Desktop\\test.txt\"}"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload"); curl_easy_setopt (curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); /* Perform the request, res will get the return code */ res = curl_easy_perform(curl); /* Check for errors */ if(res != CURLE_OK) fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res)); /* always cleanup */ curl_easy_cleanup(curl); printf ("\nFinished curl test.\n"); } curl_global_cleanup(); printf ("Done!\n"); And this would just create new folders  and files in my account Don't know if the codes I posted might be too long, the difference between the two is only at this line: curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "test data for upload"); ...
