July 8, 20205 yr I have seen various articles and videos that explain how to upload a file from a Filemaker Container to Dropbox using the Dropbox API. However I would like to create a script so that a user can save a pdf directly from Filemaker to a shared Dropbox Folder. Any tips?
July 13, 20205 yr Author Don't worry. I have figured this out using Get(DesktopPath) to identify where the shared folder will be on each user's computer, saving that as a variable, then including that in the filepath when saving PDF.
October 1, 20205 yr Hello millmaine can you please share your script on how you done please Thank you
October 19, 20205 yr Author Hi Extreme, The whole script is pretty long and specific to our company, however the critical steps are: Early in the script: Set Variable [ $path1 ; Value: Substitute ( Get (DesktopPath) ; "Desktop/" ; "" ) ] Set Variable [ $filename ] Then when you get to the Save Records as PDF script step the Specify Output File should be: filewin:/$path1/Dropbox/Folder/$filename filemac:/$path1/Dropbox/Folder/$filename Where I have used "Folder" you could put the name of the folder of your choice or you can create folder names as variables as part of the script.
