How to upload the diff of a file using file_put api in dropbox - dropbox

How can I upload the diff of a file using file_put api in dropbox? I am wondering would dropbox provide support for uploading or downloading just the diff of the file.
I am not using dropbox sync tool.

Currently there is no way to send or receive only a diff, the smallest unit is the whole file.

How does one decompress a compressed file (zip, bz2 etc), within Dropbox (without downloading to client first)?

Say I have a compressed file (zip etc) stored in my dropbox account (in the cloud, not on my local device), is there a way to programmatically expand the file in my dropbox account, without downloading it locally first ?
I do not want to download the file first. That defeats the purpose, since i can just upload the decompressed files in the first face.
I've looked at various Dropbox api's, and while I can find a lot of information on how to put or remove files, I haven't found anything (yet) on how to decompress a file programmatically.
No, Dropbox doesn't have this functionality.

You could upload to a HTTP like dropbox. The downside of simple HTTP file transfer is that it is fairly easy for somebody to grab your credentials using a common tool like Fiddler. However that is also the case with FTP just a bit harder. The upside to uploading to dropbox is that you could have any file size (providing you have the space on your dropbox account).
I haven't tried using the dropbox upload api yet but you can read the documentation here, take a look at the PUT and POST methods: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs
If you just wanted to upload to dropbox and you have the dropbox client installed you could just save the file to the dropbox folder on your computer and it would auto upload.

Bulk upload large images to cloudinary

Is there a way to bulk upload images to my cloudinary account?
I am looking to import 100 images of 3MB each at a time.
Thank you.
You can use Cloudinary's upload API to upload images one by one. Here is a sample upload code in Python.
If your images are already in a public location, you can specify the remote HTTP URL as the file parameter instead of sending the actual image's data. This allows much faster uploading. If your images are in an Amazon S3 bucket, images can be fetched by Cloudinary directly from S3 for reaching even higher upload performance.
You can also run your upload code using multiple processes in parallel for quickly uploading multiple files simultaneously. In our Ruby on Rails client library we included a migration tool.
Currently there is no dedicated API method of Cloudinary for performing bulk upload of images.
Easiest way is to use the remote API - and Just pass the url reference to the account and Cloudinary will connect to the image and download it into your account.

upload a remote file to google drive

I wonder if it is possible to upload remote files directly to google drive?(remote file:a file that is not located in same server as php script)
If our file exists on http://www.example.com/path/to/file i want it to be uploaded directly(without downloading to my own server and upload later) to google drive
This is not possible directly right now. However there are some services like SMEStorage which helps you to remote upload via certain servers. This service doesn't support every file hosting. They mainly support Cloud Services.
you can do it but you have to do it with google chrome, this way:
send your file link for remote upload to http://www.sidecloudload.com/ they can remote upload to dropbox OR EMAIL THE FILE (send it to your gmail)
there is a add-on for google chrome that let you save attach files from gmail to google drive you can download it here
but there is a size limit for that website (25MB per file)
Here you can upload to drobox(max 300 MB) and google drive (100 MB)

upload big files to server

I want to upload big files to server. What is the best way to this:
1) using node.js library, such as formidable
2) using nginx upload module
or may be other more faster and better solution ?
If you just want to upload big files nginx would be the better solution.
However if you want to stream files, download as you upload, then node.js would be the right tool.
