That dropbox link isn't a direct link to the file, it's a link to a Dropbox page from which you can download the file. You can test this by opening the link in your web browser. To get direct download links from dropbox you have to apped ?dl=1 to the url.

Like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tr4uob71yjbmnqu/DOWNLOADTEST.rtf?dl=1

@d-healey Thanks David, I figured all that out... Which is why I don't think a dropbox link will work with Hise downloading the file etc...

[d.healey]

@DanH Assuming Dropbox has some kind of developer API you'd be able to write a bit of server side code to generate a download link when your HISE app makes a request (this is what I'm doing with my WooCommerce site, using Amazon S3).

[DanH]

@d-healey Hmmm. Ok will look into it :)

Cheers

[DanH]

@d-healey Would it be this kind thing?!

Can't believe I'm about to go down yet another rabbit hole :face_with_tears_of_joy: :rabbit_face:

[d.healey]

@DanH That's the kind of thing, yeah.

[Lindon]

@DanH why not use a waaaay simpler download service that gives you a simple URL- I use pCloud.

That looks good, might have to get me one of those!

[DanH]

@d-healey indeed, my dropbox is just about to renew so cld be good timing. Dropbox has been pretty annoying of late tbh

My annual subscription renewed 2 months ago :( So i'll hold off on the switch to pCloud until next year, but I've cancelled my db sub.

[Lindon]

damn - did I miss all those referral dollars? :face_with_tears_of_joy:

[DanH]

@Lindon So PCloud works really well for this, thanks for the tip.

Seems like the equivalent is impossible with Google Drive and a right pain in DropBox

[Dan Korneff]

You guys should take a look at NextCloud as well. It's an open source Cloud and Collaboration Hub. Been using it here for about a year now with excellent results on my Ubuntu server.

@dustbro Looks interesting thanks :)

So would anyone know how to get

Server.downloadFile("download/HISE_1_1_1.exe", {}, target, function()

into a button callback? It has it's own callback already does it not?

Would be nicer if the user can click the button to download rather than it downloading as soon as the app is loaded...

Just put it inside a button callback

inline function buttonCallback(component, value)
{
  Server.downloadFile(etc.);
}

Might want to warn people that opening your snippet will download an .exe to their system. I sense a HISE deployed virus :p

[DanH]

@d-healey Ha, it's just for the samples actually

I had tried putting it in a button callback before but the same behaviour happened (auto dload) and the button did nothing.

Your button is set to saveInPreset. Also you probably want it to be momentary and that means you need to check it is turned on value == 1 before you start the download.

[DanH]

@d-healey as in like this?

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
    if(value==1)
    
	Server.downloadFile("download/HISE_1_1_1.exe", {}, target, function()

@DanH You tell me :p does it work or doesn't it?

I recommend you always use curly braces with your if statements until.

[DanH]

@d-healey it does not!
