Dropbox选择器：使用javascript获取文件内容

Question

I use dropbox chooser in an HTML5 application and the API don't give you the file itself , it give the direct link to download the file. Something like : " https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/ydld54fs5sford8/myFolder/myFile.csv ".

How can I manage to download this file in javascript to get a file object and then read the content of this file ?

Answer 1

You can just use a standard AJAX call. For example, using jQuery:

$.get('https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/...', function (data) {
    console.log(data); // <-- this will log the contents of the file
});

EDIT

Make sure you're using a direct link (one that looks like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/... ), not a preview link (which points to an HTML page on www.dropbox.com ).
