Dropbox handler and AmigaOS 3.x

[klx300r]

just beautiful to have this for our 68k miggies:hammer::pint:

trying to get this going just now and when I enter list DBOX: in the shell I get "NO TCP/IP stack running" popup??? I was already online before entering the command in the shell?

[klx300r]

One question i have is why is it so slow in downloading from Dropbox or google drive ?

i'll be happy just to be able to access my dropbox on my Amiga...i've for no problem waiting for the data to cross over as long as it gets there :-)

ping...anyone else getting when entering "list DBOX:" from shell :confused:

I can go online and I can ping my router from shell so I obviously have a TCP/IP stack running :whack:

Quick, guess but maybe you need a different version of the bsdsocket.library.
The OS3.9 version is 4.42 and this one works with the Amiga cloud handlers.

funny I know I have it but I can't find it??

                      from the interwebs "The bsdsocket.library is not a disk based library - it is created  in memory when an Amiga TCP stack such as EasyNet successfully goes  online."

so being 'ram' based where can I tell which version I have??

Start sysinfo and check the libraries that are loaded in memory (the version is also displayed)
In my libs dir there is a lib bsdsocket.library

ah ok thanks! I had to startup Easynet 1st to go online then I could see bsdsocket.library in SysInfo and mine is v3.28 so where can I get v4.42 ??

ok so bought Roadshow and no problems anymore with finding TCP/IP stack:hammer:
BUT of course now there is another error message "cDropBoxHandler: :auth() curl_easy_perform() failed: Error". couldn't resolve host anme"

I already tried what Dandy did earlier in the thread as I have an 060 on board but still same thing..getting closer but :rant::flak:

[klx300r]

well finally got here going now:hammer: Roadshow did the trick & it's a nice little speed boost too! also had to remember to disable AmiTCP & Easynet in my user start-up...amazing to access my drop dropbox files to my Amiga 4000:)

Just closing out the amigaworld.net thread with this one..now all working and can also write to my dropbox from my amiga:)

Norbert says that the keyfile.jpg (or keyfile.dat) has to be renamed simply as "keyfile"(no extension), and copied in devs:cloud.
IT WORKS!!!! Excellent program!!!
Hope this infos are useful to you.

 :pint:  :dance wow I had a long email thread with Norbert and yet problem solved once again on amiga forums (here and amiga.org) so cheers to us the community yet again :-D


@ Sir_Lucas & Norbert

is anyone else having problems with files transferred over from either OS4.1/ Win7 machines over drop box to Amiga losing all file attributes???

see related thread http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?p=833951&posted=1#post833951

It would be a miracle if DropBox could preserve file attributes - because the Amiga attributes are rather non-standard, and all what dropbox does is to keep the file contents, nothing else.

so if I send a jpf file over to may Amiga how do i get AmigaOS3.9 to recognize that transferred file as a jpg file and same goes for lha file etc. :confused::confused::confused:

[klx300r]

You seem confused. File attributes are the protection bits (hparwed). The file *contents* should be preserved or something is borken. Datatypes on the amiga only care about the contents of the file - but that is not an attribute.

Thus, if you *download* a file from the dropbox account, and this file *is not* identical to what you uploaded, something is wrong. Probably the dropbox handler. Or dropbox is doing something smart with images.

yes  very very confused:insane: all i know is that 'something' is wrong and that all files I'm sending to my Amiga 4000 lately via DropBox I can't do anything with on the Amiga side:confused::confused::confused:

[klx300r]

can't find this on aminet anymore ?
ah never mind was searching for DropBox but it's called 'AmigaCloudHandlers'

here's the aminet link http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/AmigaCloudHandlers
