Dropbox Snippet

This snippet can be used by copy-pasting to the neqto.js script.

neqto: Bridge	SPRESENSE
v00.00.30+	v01.00.00+

This snippet provides a function to send IoT data to Dropbox.

Details

The send_dropbox function can be used to POST the passed string 'payload' to Dropbox according to the specified 'fileOptions' using an app access token, over HTTPS. The result (error/response) is then passed to the callback function.

To start using this snippet, ACCESS_TOKEN (Access Token from the Dropbox app), and CA are required to be configured by the user.

NOTE: The provided function only allows payloads up to size of 4KB. For bigger sized payloads, please refer to the sample for divided writing in neqto.js docs for neqto: Bridge and Sony Spresense.

The following CA can be used (as of 2020-07-30),

/* DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA - 02ac5c266a0b409b8f0b79f2ae462577 */
