Hi I have a requirement and I dont know how to start with this -
There will be multiple different sites which will have a link to
access the document library of a different site.
Each site will have access to their own set of documents only in the
document library.
There should be some sort of token which will authorize
the to access the library without providing id and password.

I'm trying to integrate Google Drive using the SDK with my app written in VB.Net using API Key and I'm following this tutorial https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/dotnet/get_started#simple
What happens is that when calling the ExecuteAsync method, I receive back an Exception saying that the user does not have sufficient permissions for this file.
Basically, I only have the API key (with restriction to access only Google Drive API) and I don't want to ask the user for permissions, because I'd like to use a specific account (so everyone would be sending files to that account).
I couldn't find a way to "link" this API Key to a specific account also.
I ended up using a service account for the Google Drive API.
The idea here was quite simple, where I created this account and downloaded a generated JSON file that is used by the SDK to Authenticate and call the API.
With this service account, I didn't use the API Key and I could leverage Permissions
and set permissions to each user on each created folder.
I am trying to download (backup) images that customers upload for products that take custom logos (these are typically JPG, PNG, PDF, etc.) These customer files are downloadable by clicking on a hyperlink in the BigCommerce admin page for the order in question. The link is not a link to the image path but instead, a link to a service that sends the file to the browser. In other words, you have to be authenticated into the admin site to download the file. The URL looks like this:
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/383945/products/251438/attributes/561518/download
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/{order id}/products/{lineItem id}/attributes/{option id}/download
These are easily constructed in the API itself for a given order. If I use the link in a browser tab while I'm logged into the admin site, the file downloads.
But what I am trying to write an app to automatically download all the files (there are thousands). When I try to use this URL in an app, I get a authentication error. I tried at first using my regular API credentials but then used the credentials to log into the admin site. Both give me an authentication error.
I could not find anything documented on this so-called "internalapi." Anyone ever try to use this "internal" API that is used by the admin site?
I believe authentication is cookie based for that internal API, but there could be problems with using our non-publicly documented internal APIs in production, i.e. we may make future updates that would be breaking changes.
Images attached to orders through a file upload option also get copied to WebDAV, in the dav/product_images/configured_products folder. Another way to do this could be to use a WebDAV client library like easywebdav to connect and download the files.
I'm currently working on an application that interacts with OneDrive. I've read RESTful API manual and the only option available is to share document.
My questions are:
Is there any way to remove or regenerate file sharing link?
Is there any way to specify user emails to give an access to them?
Is there any way to control this UI option "Recipients need to sign in with Microsoft Account"?
The sharing links that are created do not expire. If you create a sharing link for a file that already shared, a HTTP 200 code will be returned. At this time, createLink is only available but the user can remove the sharing permission from the OneDrive website. Specific user access isn't currently supported. Like the OneDrive website, any created link will not require sign-in. I hope that helps.
The only way to regenerate link to a file is to:
Copy file "foo.docx" to "(Copy) foo.docx"
Remove file "foo.docx"
Rename "(Copy) foo.docx" to "foo.docx"
Generate link for "foo.docx"
There is no way to specify emails for document access
There is no way to control this UI option "Recipients need to sign in with Microsoft Account"
I have a requirement where I want HTML FTP to be accessed by AD users. When users prompted to supply their AD credentials, the IIS/FTP should mapped them directly to their folders. What I want is, an HTML "Form" page/website when its accessed from internal/external it will prompt and users will supply AD credentials. Based on the permission set on the folders users will access only their folder and will upload to their folder only. The Upload as a Browse Button which will allow them to upload specified documents to their folder only. So, When they log into their computer at work they will be able to see what has been uploaded and will be able to open that document directly.
This is actually for Part Time Lectures, currently all the shared we have on a Windows 2008 R2 and permission set based on AD.
Is this doable via HTML or any other code or FTP itself. Even third party software which will be fine too.
It might be worth taking a look at plupload - depending on your usage, you might need to pay licensing: http://www.plupload.com
I am trying to make a webpage that can display information about documents on my google drive. For example I would like to display the titles of all my google documents on a webpage. I don't want the user to have to be logged into a google account, and I don't want to have to authorize anything (or the user to authorize anything). I just want the user to be able to see what I display - in a read only format - when they navigate to the page. The user will have no chance to edit or upload or delete anything, they can just view the info I display.
Is there a way to get files from google drive (via the API or any other way) possibly without using oauth 2.0? I've looked through the api docs and even coded up the sample apps, but all of them have a step that says, "Go to this URL, click Allow, enter the code" then you get access. These steps shouldn't be necessary. I just want to download the file and be able to manipulate it (either in memory or as a stream) then display something about it.
Also, I may misunderstand how OAuth 2.0 works so if that seems like the case, any helpful information would be much appreciated. Thank you.
You don't need to authenticate your visitors into Google, but need to authenticate yourself, so your web app can retrieve data from your personal Drive.
Get an access token and refresh token for yourself, store them and autenticate your requests. If you're using one of our client libraries, most of them refresh the access tokens once they are expired. See Using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications for more details and OAuth 2.0 Playground helps you to understand how to get these tokens.
