upload/download to/from dropbox

[KASSIM SAMJI]

hello programmers...on my project with app inventor i succeeded to upload files to my dropbox account without a problem, i used a workaround from Taifun and thanks it worked like a charm

how ever i am facing a problem when it comes to downloading the file located in my root folder ( say /soccer.png )

i used workaround from here   https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_links

look through the blocks, the aim is to download the file located in root folder in my dropbox account, get_the_list_picker.selection returns     /filename.extension    like    /flowers.png

once i receive error code 200 and go to /sdcard/my document/download, i find something like app_inventor.tmp, opening it with text editor, i find some bunch of codes relating to the file concerned like id number, and so on

correct me if i am wrong with the blocks so i can get the file downloaded

Thanks in advance

before downloading, you might want to set the filename using the ResponseFileName property

see also the documentation http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/connectivity.html#Web

ResponseFileName

The name of the file where the response should be saved. If SaveResponse is true and ResponseFileName is empty, then a new file name will be generated.

also remove the PutFile block and change the notifier from "Downloading" to "Downloaded successfully"
