Laravel 5 Dropbox

Did you use the disks like ->disk('dropbox') vs. ->disk('local')? For an example check Jeffery's tutorial Multiple Filesystems, the video explains the multi disk functionality pretty well.

Yes i did $filesystem->disk('dropbox')->put('test.txt', 'hello'); and its working very well, but in this situation I am not reading and updating the content of the file, all i just want to do is to upload the zip file to Dropbox server. I have tried the other methods but didn't work e.g: get() prepend() append() copy() move()

etc, please i don't know if there is an upload() method.

Can you try the following code:

$content = $filesystem->disk('local')->get('test.txt');
$filesystem->disk('dropbox')->put('test.txt', $content);

Because this is the process described by the package behind the new Laravel 5 Filesystem: Flysystem

Ok, but what am actually looking for is a method that can upload a file to drop box from my local server, so far i have tried the move and copy for dropbox but where it states that i should put the from path, if i use a local file path it will tell me file not found because the path must be from your dropbox account

Explain where "local server" is located. They gave you a code example for that already?

This particular one is different, what I working with is a zip file not .txt file so put method won't work. $content = $filesystem->disk('local')->get('test.zip'); $filesystem->disk('dropbox')->put('test.zip', $content);

Ah ok got it. I guess it's not possible out of the box, because streaming is missing. You could try to to extend the FilesytemAdapther.php with writeStream() and writeStream() to recover the functionality described here Using streams for reads and writes.

Ok thanks, lemme try it out....

Hi @kelvinrolex, just found the following tutorial:

Hope it helps.

Ok thanks.

Trying it I get the following error:

 Call to undefined method Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemManager::createDriver()

If someone can try it and tell us if it works.
