Hi Folks,

In case anyone is curious, one way to change the upload folder to something other than the root folder under DropBox is to modify the dropbox.php file on line 233 from

$uri = preg_replace("#(^|[^:])//+#", "\\1/","/files/{$root}/{$dbpath}?file={$filename}{$parstr}");

to

$uri = preg_replace("#(^|[^:])//+#", "\\1/","/files/{$root}/Insert/Desired/SubFolder/Path/Here/{$dbpath}?file={$filename}{$parstr}");

I am still not sure if there is a way to do this programatically through the UI but if anyone has thoughts on how I'd love to hear.

Cheers

Hello Muir

You appreciation is correct, to do this easy to maintain you can create a extra field in configuration page per user.

If you can do a patch for that I will really appreciate and include in next version.

When I tried the suggestion from the original issue, it ended up creating a folder inside the folder I wanted to upload to... During testing, I tried to upload to the pre-defined "Photos" folder, so I changed the above code, thinking it would stick it there. Instead, it created /Photos/Photos/myphoto.jpg

However, when I changed the line just above it:

public function add($dbpath, $filepath, array $params = array(), $root='dropbox/Photos')

and added /Photos after $root='dropbox', it uploaded just fine to the pre-defined Photos folder.

Also, if you have some problems after changing the location, make sure you clear your drupal cache.
