Dropbox Importer for iOS

This Dropbox Importer uses Dropbox Core API allowing for easy browsing, searching and downloading of files using the Dropbox SDK. There are primarily two classes for communicating with the Dropbox SDK: RDMLDropboxScanner and RDMLDropboxDownloader

There's also a complete package with UI leveraging RDMLDropboxScanner and RDMLDropboxDownloader which can be used as is or for inspiration.

  • RDMLDropboxScanner is responsible for scanning / searching the Dropbox file structure.
  • RDMLDropboxDownloader takes a set of DBMetadata objects and downloads to the specified path using -downloadFiles:toPath:.

###Using the UI (aka RDMLDropboxImportViewController)

Import RDMLDropboxImportViewController.h in the presenting view controller. Initialize it with a DBSession (linked or not) and present it using presentViewController:animated:completion:. If the DBSession is not linked, the RDMLDropboxImportViewController will display a blank slate with options to link a Dropbox account. RDMLDropboxImportViewController allows you to browse and search for files to import, depending on what kind of file types your specific Dropbox app has permissions for.

The protocol RDMLDropboxImportViewControllerDelegate allows for specifying download path, and informs about the general flow.

####Notes about DBSession

Your app is responsible for setting up a DBSession and handling the redirect URL in your app delegate. Dropbox has of yet no documentation for their iOS SDK but please check out the example project in this repository.

##Installation

  1. Download and link to the Core Dropbox SDK for iOS
  2. Create a Dropbox API app at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps and specify your file types
  3. Add your app's redirect URL (db-YOUR-APP-ID) to your project's target as URL type
  4. Include the necessary files in your project as described below

####Using CocoaPods Install the RDMLDropboxImporter pod.

####Using git submodules

  1. Run git submodule add [email protected]:readmill/dropbox-importer-ios.git in your project's folder
  2. Drag the files from the RDMLDropboxImporter folder inside dropbox-importer-ios to your project (with or without the UI folder depending on your needs) and chose not to copy items into destination group's folder.
