Import a file in CLOUDFLOW

With this API call you can import a file in CLOUDFLOW.

api.file.copy_file(source_path, destination_path)

Both parameters use the URL schema. As the imported file will be located outside CLOUDFLOW, a file:// schema will be used. The destination path will be a CLOUDFLOW URL.

Example

In Windows, you can import c:\Files to import\document.pdf in CLOUDFLOW with this API call:

api.file.copy_file("file:///c:/Files%20to%20import/document.pdf", "cloudflow://PP_FILE_STORE/Demo%20Files").

You can access document.pdf in CLOUDFLOW with this URL: cloudflow://PP_FILE_STORE/Demo%20Files/document.pdf.

On , you can import /Users/joe/Files to import/document.pdf (located on the Macintosh HD drive) with this API call:

api.file.copy_file("file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/joe/Files%20to%20import/document.pdf" "cloudflow://PP_FILE_STORE/Demo%20Files").

It returns the CLOUDFLOW URL of the imported file:

{
  copied_file: "cloudflow://PP_FILE_STORE/Demo%20Files/document.pdf"
}
