DropboxCaller

This transformer accepts any feature.

The output of this transformer will vary depending on the operation performed. After an Upload operation, a URL to the file will be saved to the Object URL Attribute. A Download operation can save to either a file or attribute. A Delete operation will save the number of files/folders deleted to the Delete Count Attribute. Finally, a List operation will output a new feature for each file/folder found in the path specified. Each of these new features will have attributes listing various pieces of information about the object.

Features that cause the operation to fail are output through this port. Additionally, a message stored in the attribute specified in Error Attribute will contain details about the failure.

Performing operations against a Dropbox account requires the use of OAuth2 authentication using a Web Connection. If you have not already added a Dropbox connection, select “Add Web Connection…” from the dropdown menu. Make sure to select the “Dropbox” option from the “Web Service” dropdown in the resulting window.
