Formats supported with Box connector #10183

Closed jsanz closed 6 years ago

jsanz commented 8 years ago

Currently Dropbox connector filters only csv, xls and xlsx files. Any reason to not allow to import other file types like zipped shapefiles or geojson?

This request is for both Box and Dropbox, actually originating from a user specifically wanting to do this with their Box account, which is Fedramp qualified.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

zingbot commented 6 years ago

This is actually important, and I'd like it to stay open. I get this request pretty frequently, and it may or may not be intentional that this is set just to tabular data.

Is this still an issue? @javitonino

zingbot commented 6 years ago

A persistent one. People would really like to sync all the file types we support from Dropbox and Box. Shapefiles are the priority.

javitonino commented 6 years ago

We currently support the following types for Dropbox: csv, xls, xlsx, gpx, kml, zip. So this should include everything.

Box appears to be missing .zip support (see SUPPORTED_EXTENSIONS at BaseOauth).

@zingbot can you confirm that this is just a problem with Box and not Dropbox?

zingbot commented 6 years ago

I can! Let me ask someone to test it out. Did we fix tjhat at some point? DB was not taking .zip files up until very recently.

We did major changes to Dropbox in July 2017, which are likely to have fixed this. Otherwise, not anything that could have really fixed this.

But I tested with my account and my test zip appears just fine.

ramiroaznar commented 6 years ago

Let's close this then.

zingbot commented 6 years ago

Yes great. Apologies I didn’t know the changes happened and will tell the customers who had been asking.

javitonino commented 6 years ago

Note that Box (not Dropbox) is still incorrect.

ramiroaznar commented 6 years ago

Ok, but this issue was not related to Box... let me change the title then.
