Dropbox API Uploading a file Uploading a file using the Dropbox Python SDK
Example
This uses the Dropbox Python SDK to upload a file to the Dropbox API from the local file as specified by file_path to the remote path as specified by dest_path. It also chooses whether or not to use an upload session based on the size of the file:
f = open(file_path)
file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)
CHUNK_SIZE = 4 * 1024 * 1024
if file_size <= CHUNK_SIZE:
print dbx.files_upload(f.read(), dest_path)
else:
upload_session_start_result = dbx.files_upload_session_start(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE))
cursor = dropbox.files.UploadSessionCursor(session_id=upload_session_start_result.session_id,
offset=f.tell())
commit = dropbox.files.CommitInfo(path=dest_path)
while f.tell() < file_size:
if ((file_size - f.tell()) <= CHUNK_SIZE):
print dbx.files_upload_session_finish(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE),
cursor,
commit)
else:
dbx.files_upload_session_append(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE),
cursor.session_id,
cursor.offset)
cursor.offset = f.tell()
f.close()
