Post large files to Dropbox

Is there any way to post large files (>150MB) to Dropbox service with Spring Social library? I'm always getting a connection error:

WebException: The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly) if I try to upload a large file.

It's a Windows Forms application.

Solution

  • No. Spring Social uses the DropBox REST API.

    There is a 150MB limit on uploading files for all clients that use the REST API. If you want to upload larger files you'll have to do so through the Dropbox desktop application.

    You can find this in the Dropbox REST API SDK:

    As far as I can see from the Spring Social implementation it is indeed REST based.
