I am writing an iOS application, and I have some HTML files stored on Google Drive. I would like to retrieve the HTML file's links.
Any idea to get the HTML link from Google Drive?
If you're unable to hardcode the values of the file's URL, the only alternative is to use the Google Drive API on iOS.

The kind of Dropbox link you're referring to isn't a "direct" link, but rather a "shared" link, where the link itself points to an HTML preview page, where the user can download the file if they want. You can find information on this feature here:
https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/view-only-access
Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, downloading, and sharing files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers
Dropbox does offer a .NET SDK in particular:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet
To create a shared link for a file or folder using the .NET SDK, you would use the CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync method:

Can I download files (docx, pptx, xlsx) saved to One Drive as PDF using the One Drive API?
I am able to do this using the Google Drive API using getExportLinks and specifying the application/pdf MIME Type to obtain a download URL.
Using Google is not an option so I'm looking for alternatives.
I don't see anything similar to this in the One Drive documentation.
Many large zip-files are uploaded to my google drive. Before downloading I need to preview this zip-archive for understanding what files are in it.
On Google Drive website I can preview zip-archive and see files\directories list.
Is it possible if I use Google Drive API?
Thank you a lot!
Basically, what I would like to do is to create a link from a web application that will open a Dropbox file from appropriate Dropbox native app. Google Drive for example allows you to re-format the unique URL for a file such as https://docs.google.com/blablabla which you can retrieve from their API, into googledrive://docs.google.com/blablabla and lets you open the file in Google Drive native app.
I have tried dropbox:// URLs with no success, and have not found any existing conversation on this despite running cross multiple conversations on the same subject for Google Drive or Evernote. Please let me know if it is possible to somehow generate this via API or based on the folder structure etc.
Thanks!
I'm developing an app on Google chrome which could be able to read and write files to arbitrary folders on the user’s hard drive, such as their My Pictures or My Documents folder.
I want my app to has its one folder, like "Users/Username/App", so users could be able to access some of the data, created and edited by the app. How can I do this?
I read the book "Using the HTML5 Filesystem API", so I know it's actually not possible with HTML5 Filesystem API alone. Same thing was possible by opera 11, 12. (see: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/file-i-o-api-for-widgets/). Chorome mediaGalleries API do same things but just for media file but I want to use html, xml and office files
It doesn't sound like you've looked at the list of Chrome App APIs. Have you? Among them is the fileSystem API, which is evolving quickly to include directory access.
