Upload files to a specific folder in dropbox

I was using this example to upload files to dropbox:

https://github.com/geersch/DropboxRESTApi/blob/master/src/part-5/README.md

Which is:

public FileSystemInfo UploadFile(string root, string path, string file)
{
  //...
}

The method has 3 parameters:

root: The root relative to which the path is specified. Valid values are sandbox and dropbox.
path: The path to the file you want to upload.
file: Absolute path to the local file you want to upload

Call this method as follows:

var file = api.UploadFile("dropbox", "photo.jpg", @"C:\Pictures\photo.jpg");

Dropbox API says exactly the same as the example:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#files-POST

So no mentioning of "parent folder"..
How can I upload files under a specific folder instead of the root?

Solution

  • cant you just do

    var file = api.UploadFile("dropbox", @"myfolder\photo.jpg", @"C:\Pictures\photo.jpg");
