I created a configuration file (Simple Text File) on my Google Drive and now I would like to read it from my Chrome Packaged Dart Application. But I'm not able to get more information of the file than it's name, size etc.
For accessing Google Drive I use the google_drive_v2_api.
Any suggestion on how to get the contents of my configuration file would be great! Thanks!
I just did some test in my own chrome app, uploading and downloading a simple file:
chrome.identity.getAuthToken(new chrome.TokenDetails(interactive: true ))
.then((token){
OAuth2 auth = new SimpleOAuth2(token);
var drive = new gdrive.Drive(auth)..makeAuthRequests=true;
drive.files.insert({},content:window.btoa('hello drive!')).then((sentMeta){
print("File sent! Now retrieving...");
drive.files.get(sentMeta.id).then((repliedMeta){
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest()..open('GET', repliedMeta.downloadUrl)
..onLoad.listen((r)=>print('here is the result:'+r.target.responseText));
auth.authenticate(request).then((oAuthReq)=>oAuthReq.send());
});
});
});
It works, but the HttpRequest to get content back seems heavy...
But i really recommend you to a take look to chrome.storage.sync if your config file size is < to 4ko... If not, you could also use the chrome SyncFileSystem API... They are both easier to use, and SyncFileSystem use Drive as backend.
This page on downloading files talks through the process for getting the contents of a file.

I created a new google doc successfully in my drive, but now I wish to change the file type from 'application/msword' to 'application/vnd.google-apps.document'.
I tried to use the answer here to copy the file, but it's not working:
convert a Word doc into a Google doc using the API via nodejs using drive.files.copy convert in v3 of Google Drive API
The code I have is similar to the above question.
After I create the document as msword I am trying to make a simple copy to convert it to a google doc.
drive.files.create({
requestBody: body.requestBody,
fields: 'id',
}, function (err: any, file: any) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
drive.files.copy(
{
fileId: file.data.id,
requestBody: { // You can also use "resource" instead of "requestBody".
name: 'copy',
mimeType: "application/vnd.google-apps.document"
}
},
(err, res) => {
if (err) return console.log("The API returned an error: " + err);
console.log(res.data); // If you need, you can see the information of copied file.
}
);
}
the error I'm getting is
Conversion of the uploaded content to the requested output type is not supported.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
After making some tests with different mime types from Microsoft Office, it looks like the Office editing mode from Google Drive is unable to read blank files and therefore you were getting the error message.
If I am not mistaken, the way Google Drive works to change files formatting is that they need to open the file first in order to read the information and change the formatting. However, in this case Google Drive is recognizing these blank files as corrupted files and is unable to open them using the Office editing mode.
This looks like an expected behavior but could also be considered as a bug from this specific feature. I would recommend you to post your question in the Google Issue Tracker and explain the behavior and testing you have done so far so that you can confirm if this is just expected or a bug from the Office editing mode.

I'm working to download a file via the Google Drive API using the gem google-api-client.
x = Google::Apis::DriveV2
drive = x::DriveService.new
drive.authorization = auth
files = drive.list_files
files.items.each_with_index do |file, index|
url_to_index = file.export_links.select { |k, v| v if k == 'text/plain' }
file_content = open(url_to_index["text/plain"]).read
end
The problem is file_content is returning the Google login screen not the file in text/plain format. It appears that when my Rails app opens the URL it does not have access to the text file.
What's the right way to enable my Rails app to grab the file in the text format?
Stated in Download Files
Depending on the type of download you'd like to perform — a file, a Google Document, or a content link — you'll use one of the following URLs:
Download a file — files.get with alt=media file resource
Download and export a Google Doc — files.export
Link a user to a file — webContentLink from the file resource
Downloading the file requires the user to have at least read access. Additionally, your app must be authorized with a scope that allows reading of file content.
You may go through the documentation for more information and examples.
See the log output: Two factor autentifications need to you permit access from you app to your google drive account.
In log you will see needed info to do this: link and secret_key.
tail -f log/*.log
I just realize that mimetype for download is different from the file meta.
Please check this url for available mimetype : https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/integrate-open
for example mimeType : 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

I'm working on a SharePoint mobile solution where I'm using the web services exposed in server/_vti_bin/sitedata.asmx, server/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx and server/_vti_bin/copy.asmx.
I'm able to successfully fetch the list of sites, document libraries and files using the services defined in server/_vti_bin/sitedata.asmx.
Now I'm actually trying to upload an image file from Photo Albums available in iOS to SharePoint. For this, I tried using CopyIntoItems web service, where in I'm getting the following error response.
<CopyResult ErrorCode="DestinationInvalid" ErrorMessage="The Copy web service method must be called on the same domain that contains the destination url." DestinationUrl="http://xxxxserveripxxxxxx/Shared Documents/image1.png"/>
But came to know that this service is used only if the file to be uploaded is also from the same source(i.e., from sharepoint).
Is there any other way to upload a file available in iPhone to SharePoint.
Also tired addAttachment service defiend in server/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx but I'm unable to identify the input parameters which requires list name and list Item ID.
I'm trying to upload a file to Shared Documents, so I've List Name value which is the one in curly braces of Shared Documents but now what should be the List Item Id value?
These are the details I've with regard to "Shared Documents" document library.
{
AllowAnonymousAccess = false;
AnonymousViewListItems = false;
BaseTemplate = DocumentLibrary;
BaseType = DocumentLibrary;
DefaultViewUrl = "/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx";
Description = "Share a document with the team by adding it to this document library.";
InheritedSecurity = true;
InternalName = "{425F837A-F110-4876-98DE-C92902446935}";
LastModified = "2013-07-26 20:09:58Z";
ReadSecurity = 1;
Title = "Shared Documents";
},
So, I'm using the using InternalName value for listName tag.
What should be the value of listItemID?
Am I going in the right way or is there any other approach to upload a local file from mobile to SharePoint?
Thanks

Are you actually calling a URL or are you using the IP (you x'ed it out and said server IP)? If you don't have Alternate Access Mappings defined for the IP, uploads will fail but the GET requests will generally work ok.
Ive read at least 5 articles on this but I can't seem to get it. I have an xml file that is already in memory in the browser and I am attempting to update a document from my db, for which I already have the doc id. What is the best way of doing this? Is there support for this built into jquery.couch.js, because I can't seem to find any.
Ive attached some code with hard coded values for the sake of my sanity:
var xmlTemp = this.fullscoreApp.MusicXML.document;
$.couch.db("mydb").saveDoc({
"_id": "67e98623efefe16d27e2177b44000aee",
"_rev": "4-830aad7c3dc9e1d5004439ed1c9196d3",
"type":"score",
"_attachments":xmlTemp
}, {
success: function() {
console.log("PLZ");
}
});
I get a DOM 18 error...but I'm using a public server. Thoughts?
What protocol are you using to open your JavaScript file? Are you running it via a webserver (such as http://localhost) or just opening the file (which will show as file:// in the browser)?
If the latter, the browser will report DOM 18, because file:// suffers various restrictions not present for pages served by a webserver. More info from this question.
I am writing an MVC 3 application that needs to allow the user to directly upload a file to S3. I also need to show a progress bar. All of the examples I have seen are PHP or Ruby-on-Rails related. Has anyone managed to upload a file to S3 directly (from client browser) using MVC?
So, after a morning of smashing my head into my keyboard, the following snippet of code works (with the obvious credentials removed):
using (AmazonS3 client = Amazon.AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonS3Client("Access_Key",
"Secret_Key"))
{
PutObjectRequest request = new PutObjectRequest();
request.WithBucketName("BUCKET-NAME")
.WithCannedACL(S3CannedACL.PublicRead)
.WithKey("myDirectory/" +
HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(fileBase.FileName))
.InputStream = fileBase.InputStream;
S3Response response = client.PutObject(request);
}
