Posted By : Chandan Kumar Singh | 19-May-2016
First of all get the access token by authorizing the user from dropbox,how to do is explained in my this blog http://www.oodlestechnologies.com/blogs/How-to-get-account-information-of-Dropbox-user-using-nodejs.
we are going to expand the dropbox.js file and adding the method createDir
In dropbox.js return method add this piece of code.
createDir: function(path, cb) {
Options = {
url: https://api.dropbox.com/1/fileops/create_folder,
json: true,
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token
},
form: {root:"auto", path:path}
}
request.post(options, function(err, res, body) {
cb(err, res, body);
});
},
And in drop.js file add this piece of code.
api.createDir('/test/testdir/',function(err, res, body){
if(!err) {
console.log(“success”);
}
});
/test/testdir/ this is the nested directory path, in test directory we have created testdir directory.
We have done.
