GAE and DropBox

[Lebsh]

Our company product running on GAE written in Java.

recently we received a requirement from one of our customers to integrate with DropBox.

We need to create files from StringReader , write them to dropBox  and via versa, read files from dropBox and process them in app engine.

after a week of researching we are not optimistic about the possibility of making this work.

Does any one knows for practically how GAE can integrate with DropBox  using Java dropBox API?

Thanks for posting your questions here. From the Java SDK for Dropbox, the APIs seem to all use InputStream, OutputStream for writing and reading files respectively. As such, I would strongly suggest using those standard classes for these types of operations.

You could use new ByteArrayInputStream(myString.getBytes(charset)) to turn your string into the corresponding stream required. Is there any particular reason why you need to use StringReader? Are facing any particular difficulties with the tutorials Dropbox provides with their Java SDK? Knowing these factors, we the community may be able to provide a more specific or tailored solution.
