ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi Experts,

I've used Mini and ESP8266 to upload single data to ThingSpeak successfully. Now, I would like to upload data files to platform like dropbox, goole drives or goolge docs. But I don't know whether these using these two only could do the job. If yes, how? I know Arduino Yun and an WiFi shield could do it but power and cost are my primary concern so I wouldn't consider.

Any pointers? Thank you.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to authenticate and use Dropbox directly (I've no experience in this) but you should be able to do it via some kind of server side stub. Possibly even using something like https://www.dropdav.com/ we gives you WebDAV access to dropbox.

@Sam,

Any change you are willing to share you code . I've been trying the whole week with my pro mini and nano and my new esp8266 to get it working. I did occasionally, but it reacting very unstable.
(I did upload the newst firmware and it working 100% using a direct serial connection and typing the commands manually)

I hope you can assist me to get me going.
