I want to use filepicker.io javascript API to export multiple image files to dropbox, but I find out it could only export one file at a time.
Is there a way to export multiple files to a folder in dropbox using filepicker.io?
The current API does not support multiple file export, but it is on the roadmap.

Let's say that I upload a text file to Dropbox via Python API.
If I constantly append 1Mb of data per day and sync it, in the Day 10 will Dropbox upload all the 10Mb and replace the old file or just 1Mb and extend to the 9Mb file that have left?
If you're uploading a file to Dropbox using the Dropbox Python SDK, e.g., with the files_upload method, the entire file contents has to be uploaded with every upload. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to just append to existing files, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
I am using dreamobjects cloud storage for storing my user files. I am trying to use tinymce with moxiemanager plugin in frontend for forming messages which can contain images or documents present in the users files. I am capable of uploading files directly to the storage but my problem is how to integrate it with moxiemanager so that users can include one of their already uploaded files or even upload a new file directly from there.
I just want to know how to intercept the upload of files while using moxiemanager so that I can upload them using my code to dreamobjects and make some database entries. Basically, my problem is interception and then getting the file to reach my PHP helper/model code.
Is it possible using the Dropbox JS SDK to create a JavaScript web application that is able to parse the files in a user's Dropbox? In my use case, the user has some JSON files that I would like to parse and preview in the browser. Will the filesDownload(arg) method allow for this type of application, or is it only able to download the file to the user's machine?
The download methods, such as filesDownload and sharingGetSharedLinkFile return the file content directly as a Blob, as seen in the download example.
As long as you can use a Blob to do what you want, this should be possible.
Is it possible to download a file that I uploaded via filepicker, in chucks? I work on a platform that doesn't allow me to download files overs a certain size programmatically, (httprequest) so I have a need to retrieve the file in chucks and reassemble them.
No we don't currently provide this functionality.
Is it possible to get Google Drive to automatically convert uploaded documents to the native format?
I know it works with manual upload (i.e. Google Drive can auto-convert files you upload via the website), but I want to avoid having to upload every file by hand.
I'd prefer to use the API, or better yet, dump the files in my ~/Google Drive folder.
Using the API, you can pass the convert=true parameter to files.insert. The uploaded file will attempt to be converted to a native Google Docs format.
Sure, see this answer. Note you can upload a text file or a csv file and set its content type to google doc or google sheets respectively, and google will attempt to convert it. I have tested this for text -> doc and it works. You will need to set the const contentType at the start of the code to one of the supported google mimetypes.
