DropboxError: Forbidden when attempting to upload file #39

Closed vmcilwain closed 10 years ago

vmcilwain commented 10 years ago

I have been attempting to upload a file via the rails console and have not had any luck. Unfortunately the only error I get is DropboxError: Forbidden. The log file doesn't show any additional errors so I'm at a loss on how to debug this. What I have in my model is:

has_attached_file :document,
                     storage: :dropbox,
                     dropbox_credentials: {
                       app_key: "...",
                       app_secret: "...",
                       access_token: "...",
                       access_token_secret: "...",
                       user_id: "123456789"
                     },
                     dropbox_options: {environment: Rails.env},
                     access_type: 'app_folder
 validates_attachment_content_type :document, :content_type => /\Aimage\/.*\Z/

I am looking for any ideas on how I can figure out is not right and how I can fix it so I can upload a file to my dropbox account. Any help is appreciated.

You probably didn't authenticate the account properly. So, did you sucessfully run the dropbox:authorize Rake task? Did you remember to update the model file after that?

vmcilwain commented 10 years ago

Hi,

Yes I did successfully run the dropbox:authorize. I wasn't able to run that before when I was having my SSL issues. I knew my SSL issues were correct when I ran that and got a response back which were my tokens. I assume when you mean that I updated my model file that I added the token, token secret, and user id. I didn't see in the documentation if there was anything else aside from that that I needed to add.

No, this what you wrote is all. Did you check if your Dropbox application is of "App folder" type?

vmcilwain commented 10 years ago

Oh. Sorry. Yes I did check that the dropbox application was set to "App Folder". I also see that the app folder is created in the drop box account.

janko commented 10 years ago

:access_type should be inside of the :dropbox_credentials hash.

vmcilwain commented 10 years ago

Ah, I'm sorry I missed that. Thats exactly what the problem was.

janko commented 10 years ago

No problem. It's always good to have an extra pair of eyes :)
