Accessing API with single folder access #5
Description
I am working on a package that uses the Dropbox API to create an "application folder". This folder is stored as Apps/name_of_my_app
When trying to read a file from here or write a file from here, I get some errors using the rDrop interface. I am not sure if I am passing the wrong commands to the dropbox_save and dropbox_get functions, or if there is a setting I am forgetting about that tells these functions I do not have root access. Here are the commands I pass, and they all give basically the same output (verbose output included).
Again, I am running a Win 7 R 2.15.1 instance, and I installed rDrop and ROAuth from the GitHub repos fresh before attempting to connect.
Input:
Any of the following:
dropbox_dir(dropbox_credentials,verbose=TRUE)
df<-data.frame(a=rnorm(50),b=runif(50))
dropbox_save(dropbox_credentials,df,file="/Apps/maintainr/df.rda")
file<-dropbox_get(dropbox_credentials,"Apps/maintainr/midwest_district_probability.csv")
exists.in.dropbox(dropbox_credentials,"Apps/maintainr",is_dir='dir')
maintainr is the name of my app, and it is indeed a folder in the Apps subdirectory of my Dropbox root. The full path should be /Apps/maintainr/somefile
Passing /Apps or Apps/ to the filename does not seem to make much of a difference. And asking Dropbox to list directories does not list either the directories in root (this is good for security) or the directories in the Apps/maintainr folder.
Instead I get this:

Any thoughts? What might I be doing wrong?
