I'm developing an online free e-book sharing website and I want to use a free online data storage system (may be Google Drive or Dropbox or Box) to store the books uploaded and I want to be able to view and download the documents.
How can I access the storage programatically from my Grails-based web application?
I found the following helps which provide clear guides on how to implement the datastore integration with my app.
Google Drive Web APIs
Dropbox - Using the Core API in Java
One comparison of Google Drive and Dropbox can be seen here
If anyone has more resources with more free storage space (greater than 15GB), please share.

Reading several posts on adding images to QnAMaker KBs, these URLs all have to be externally accessible, like on Google images. How can I add an image available on my company intranet?
I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but the easiest way to do this may be to copy and host the images on an Azure App Service. It creates more overhead, especially if these images get updated with any frequency.
I'm assuming you already have an App Service Plan running your QnA Maker Bot. You can create a new App Service on the same plan so that you don't incur any incremental cost. Just upload the images onto the app service and you'll be able to access them from QnA Maker or any other application. There are a lot of ways to get the images there. Personally I use Azure DevOps Repos to manage the code/images, but any source control app could work; I'd recommend using something Azure Deployment Center can integrate with directly. You can use the Kudu build service to deploy the web app, no Azure Release Pipeline or other deployment methods necessary.
I'm wondering though, if your users are internal to the company, couldn't you link to the images on your intranet anyway? If they are behind your firewall the images should still load even if Azure itself doesn't have access to it (because all you're providing in QnA Maker is the URL). I'm assuming you're asking because the bot is for users external to your company, but I figured I'd throw that out there.
I need to do cloud based recording. I need to take all video+audio streams of all clients. Then push to AWS S3 or Gcloud bucket or Agora storage itself. I need to do it through API since I have some criteria and also I need to organize the uploaded data in specific folder names.
I did not see any specific function in agora service to do so. Should I take copy of localstream and handle it on my own? If so, I hope it does not come in the way of agora functionality.. Please share if any sample project. Just to emphasize- I am not looking for on-premise SDK. I need to do it through REST. I use angular 8. I could write my own REST server (to deal cloud of my choice) if really needed.
Background study done-
In agora.IO documentation, I see lot of documentation about on-premise recording. I did not see any reference for cloud based recording. I checked the agora.IO documentation and also angular code which includes agora service component. Angular sample works fine. But I did not understand how to take the stream and upload to my cloud storage. I am concerned that it might impact the streaming and playback of agora. To handle this , I thought you might have specific guideline or library.
Thanks
There is a new Cloud Recording API in beta that Agora is offering that can connect to the channel and record the streams (configured by RESTful API) directly to your S3 bucket, currently GCP is not supported.
This is an add-on feature so it's not enabled by default and not available to be enabled through the dashboard, it needs to be enabled by the Agora team. Please Join the Agora Community Slack and send me a direct message with the AppID for which you wish to enable with this feature and I can get you into the beta program.
I need some guidelines here. I am creating an online booking system for my client that interfaces with QuickBooks on their internal network (desktop QuickBooks, not online).
Do I need to go the full "publish app" route? I do not wish to sell this app in the marketplace. This is merely a custom booking system designed and paid for by the client. It seems like I need to "publish" the app in the marketplace for them to be able to use it.
Are there ways around this?
Update 06/23/2015 - To connect to a desktop QuickBooks installation the SDK with the Web Connector is now the only recommended approach. Intuit is removing Intuit Partner Platform (IPP) integration to desktop QuickBooks.
For the SDK/Web Connector, you don't need to go through any publication process or anything like that. Just build the solution, and connector your client.
There's a pretty good overview of how the QuickBooks web connector works on our QuickBooks wiki.
The QuickBooks SDK download also includes a huge PDF with detailed documentation about how to implement SDK/Web Connector applications as well.
I am to implement a service such the user can upload files to azure storage, and also store the meta data in a azure sql database.
Lets say the user want to upload 1gb of data, is it then needed to be send to the webservice first and then from service to azure storage? Is there a way to initiate the upload and then the user sends the data directly to the server with azure storage?
I think i read something like that but cant find it now and not sure what to search for on google.
Yes this is possible but you'll need to use a client side technology which can talk to the REST API, like Silverlight for example. Steve Marx did a series of blog posts explaining how you can leverage Silverlight and the REST API to upload files to blob storage (even very large files): Uploading Windows Azure Blobs from Silverlight – Part 3: Handling Big Files by Using the Block APIs. And a Silverlight control is very easy to integrate in an existing website.
Our company uses Quickbooks Online to track our books. When our application bills a customer, it would be nice to have that information recorded automatically in QB rather than logging in to QB Online to fill in the info.
Is there a way to accomplish this using Quickbook's APIs? The Intuit developer information is very confusing; it is mainly oriented towards extending the desktop version of Quickbooks or developing apps to publish in Intuit's app store.
Have you successfully created a web or other service-side app that was able to pull data to or from QB Online?
If you're building a one-off application, the QuickBooks Online qbXML gateway is the way to go. It's a pretty simple POST-your-XML-requests-over-HTTP sort of interface that gives you access to a large chunk (but not all) of the functionality within QuickBooks Online.
If you're building a SaaS application, then you should be looking at the Intuit Partner Platform instead. It sounds like you're building a one-off app for your company, so we'll focus on that:
If you look on my QuickBooks integration wiki there are some example qbXML requests to show you how to sign on, and how to POST qbXML requests to the QuickBooks servers.
You don't specify a language, but if you're using PHP, then try out my open-source QuickBooks PHP DevKit (look at docs/example_online_edition.php and docs/example_raw_online_edition.php in the .zip nightly builds).
You'll want to use the QuickBooks OSR for qbXML reference. The QuickBooks SDK also has 40+ pages specifically about QuickBooks Online Edition that you should probably review.
The Intuit Developer Forums are another good resource.
