在JavaScript Web App中解析Dropbox文件的内容

Question

Is it possible using the Dropbox JS SDK to create a JavaScript web application that is able to parse the files in a user's Dropbox? In my use case, the user has some JSON files that I would like to parse and preview in the browser. Will the filesDownload(arg) method allow for this type of application, or is it only able to download the file to the user's machine?

Answer 1

The download methods, such as filesDownload and sharingGetSharedLinkFile return the file content directly as a Blob , as seen in the download example .

As long as you can use a Blob to do what you want, this should be possible.
