Upload the file to Skydrive

Question

Is there an official API in the upcoming release of Mango WP7 for uploading a file to skydrive?

If so, where can I find an example and description of the API?

Answer 1

According to this SO post :

SkyDrive functionality is not available to third-party developers. In the View Actually there is no official SkyDrive public API.

Also see this other SO post .

UPDATE: (credit to Eric for pointing out a change in API availability)

From the steam blog window :

New version of the Live Connect API and Live SDK for Windows Now the phone is sent. Please read to find out more about what is available now or visit the Live Connect Developer Center for more details.

Developer Center notes that:

Live SDK is also available for Windows Phone, Android and iOS. The Live Connect API uses open standards such as OAuth 2.0, JSON, and XMPP, which makes them easy and familiar to work with.

Answer 2

You can use the Live SDK to integrate SkyDrive into Windows Phone applications. Check out our sample code on GitHub .

Answer 3

Windows Phone applications can use the Windows Phone Live SDK to create, read, write, or delete photos and documents on SkyDrive.

Answer 4

AFAIK there is no official API for uploading a file to SkyDrive from Mango / WP7 ... see for example http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/windowslive/archive/2011/06/07/don-t-wait-for-your -cloud-use-hotmail-and-skydrive-today-on-your-pc-mac-or-phone.aspx

You can use an unofficial client - see http://skydriveapiclient.codeplex.com/

EDIT:

Since SkyDrive is available through WebDAV, you can use it for such basic tasks as downloading a file with any client that supports WebDAV ...

Answer 5

A preview of Live SKD was announced at Build11.

You can subscribe and receive documentation containing the API at: http://connect.microsoft.com/site1226

Answer 6

The Microsoft SkyDrive API is implemented as JavaScript libraries. Not only do they NOT support the basic operations of managing the file system, you need to create an instance of the browser object and pull out its chain, which is extremely inconvenient.

I directly implemented some classes that will allow you to use SkyDrive as a cloud file system. I did not support any aspect of social networks.

My classes will let you

• Authentication
• create and delete folders
• create, read, write and delete files

Answer 7

no library needed

OneDrive installation client locally

System.IO.File.Copy is used ("path to local file", "path to local onedrive directory")
