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.

I'm developing a web app for in-house use and I'm looking for a better way to display PDFs.
I've played around with Adobe's 'Work with Local File' example from GitHub, Adobe GitHub Example, and it works great using the file picker to display a PDF. Is it possible with Adobe's PDF Embed API to take a file located on a local file share and display the PDF?
I'm thinking I need to create a file promise but I'm not sure how to create that.
Unless you can make a network request to load the PDF, the answer is no. Browsers generally can't read from local files unless a user action actually picks the file. If your local share can be made accessible via HTTP, then you would be good to go.
I want to compress a file before uploading it on server in sapui5 (image(png/jpeg/jpg)/pdf/). I want to upload a large files but i want to compress that file before uploading. Please suggest me solution ?
I think you will not be able to do it with instant upload. Instead, you should obtain the file from the change event of the file uploader (check out the change event, it has a files parameter).
You can then use that file object together with the zip.js library to create an in-memory zip and save it into e.g. a Blob. Afterwards you simply send the blob into a POST request (e.g. look at How can javascript upload a blob?). Maybe you should also provide some file-uploading specific headers (like the Slug).
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 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.
I am building an app with several podcasts. Each podcast gives the option to download the MP3 to the app. I have about 6 podcasts and would like to Tag each, so that when the archive view is clicked from each podcast, only archived files from that particular podcast show.
Is there someway that I can add a Tag or something to the downloaded mp3, and then in the archive, search only for mp3s with a tag related to that podcast?
BTW, I am using NSURLConnection to download each file
I think you may be looking at this in the wrong way.
Rather than tagging your downloaded files, you could set up a data structure to hold information about your files and use that to display your information.
For example. If I were doing this I would have a Core Data model that held information about the downloaded file, and tags, or sources, and I would store the path to that file in the database. That way, you can store whatever information you like about the downloaded file, and you can access it through it's path.
