Using Dropbox Java API for uploading files to dropbox

Question

I want to upload files using the java API for DropBox. The following code gets me the oauth_token and oauth_secret. but when ever I try to upload a file I get a exception.

Answer 1

You have specified api.getdropbox.com:80 as the host name. Try using api.getdropbox.com instead.

Answer 2

Your class should NOT be in package com.dropbox.client. Try moving it to a different (i.e. com.yourname.client). It looks like you might be creating a name clash and inadvertently overriding something in the Dropbox client API.

Answer 3

You should use http-client 4.0.3 jar
