dropbox_put seems to fail with larger files #17

This looks awesome...thanks for putting together this package.

I seem to be having trouble getting large zip files to upload. I get this message:

file.info("plumes_fert_test.zip")$size [1] 69747906 dropbox_put(dropbox_credentials, what="plumes_fert_test.zip", filename='CHI/plumes_fert_test.zip') Error in fromJSON(OAuthRequest(cred, url, , "PUT", upload = TRUE, readfunction = input, : error in evaluating the argument 'content' in selecting a method for function 'fromJSON': Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : Failed sending data to the peer

I tried with a similarly sized file and it continued to fail. Interestingly, a zipfile with the correct name was added to my dropbox account, but it was empty.

Then I tried with a couple smaller .zip files and it seemed to work. So it seems like it might be related to size.

Is there something obvious I am doing wrong....or is this a known issue?

Thanks!

Thanks for the note and the bug report. rDrop has some ongoing issues but I've begun a more robust replacement called rDrop2 where all these issues should go away. It's two weeks away from an installable beta and I'll drop you a note as soon as it's ready.

I have deprecated this package in favor of a new replacement: See https://github.com/karthik/rDrop2 and file any issues there. Thanks
