I've got web-application that works with google docs. App is uploading docs to GDrive with convertation and then i need to add image into converted document's header. How can i do this using GDrive API? I can't download full document or some converted formats, so i need to do this on google server. I am using SDK for PHP.
Google Drive API doesn't provide features to manipulate Google Docs files. What you can do is to modify the original file and upload again with conversion switched on. You can also use Google Apps Script. Please check out Document.header-section for more details.

I am trying to implement Dropbox on my website and so far I've been able to upload, fetch file metadata, user details and also download the file on my local machine(using the Dropbox API v2).
But, I would like to import the file directly from Dropbox and upload it to the server to be processed further....I'm able to generate the link for the chosen file using the "Chooser"
Dropbox API explorer lists all the possible APIs dropbox can provide.
To build the website I'm using laravel 5.6.17
Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
I've tried some of the services out there, including droplet, ctrlq.org/save, and some other sites that support directly fetching a file from a url and uploading it to dropbox, google drive and the like. Without the user having to store the file on a local disk.
Now the problem is none of these services support multiple urls or batch uploading, but I have quite a few urls and I really need a service where I can put them in, split them with enters or semicolons, and have the files uploaded to dropbox.(or any other cloud storage)
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
The Dropbox Saver JavaScript control allows you to save up to 100 files to the user's Dropbox in one shot. You'll need to programmatically create the button using Dropbox.createSaveButton as explained in the linked page.
It seems like the 100-file limit (at any one time) is universal, but you might find that it isn't the case when using the DropBox REST API. It looks possible to do this with NodeJS server side (OAuth and posts) or Javascript client side (automating FileReader). I'll review and try to add content so these aren't just links.
If you can leave a page open for about 20 minutes due to "technical limitations", the dropbox should be loadable 100-at-a-time like that, assuming each upload takes less than 2 seconds; it's an easy hook to add a progress indicator.
If you're preloading the dropbox once yourself or the initial load is compatible with manual action, perhaps mapping a drive and trying to unzip an archive of your links to it would work. If your list of links isn't extremely volatile then the REST API could be used to synchronize changes.
Edit: Forgot to include this page on CloudConvert, which unzips archives containing up to 100 files into DropBox. Your use case doesn't seem to include retrieving the actual content at your servers (generated zip files), sending the automation list to the browser and then having the browser extract to dropbox, but it's another option.
The Dropbox API now offers the ability to save a file into Dropbox directly via a URL. There's a blog post about it here:

The documentation can be found here:

I'm working on a Joomla website, which has a set of documents that needs to displayed using a Google Docs viewer.
Though only Authenticated users can reach the file, but the file can also be access through direct path like http://www.example.com/files/somefile.pdf even without authentication.
So when i tried to view a file through Google Viewer with a link something like this..
http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.example.com/files/somefile.pdf
The files which are of size less than 100kb are viewable and for rest all an error message is displayed as:
Sorry, it took too long to find the document at the original source. Please try again later.
You can also try to download the original document by clicking here.
So I'm not sure whether this is something to do with the Google Doc Viewer, Joomla or any Server issue for request timeout.
How can I make each file irrespective of size viewable with Google Docs?
If its PDF only, you can also just use pdfjs from Mozilla directly. Then you should check your URL encoding. If the issue remains, check out https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/ for converting your docs in-place. Opening them with pdfjs is still recommended to bypass Google-Doc-Viewer problems, at least that is how I could get this working properly.
Currently I am implementing .NET Google API to display Google Docs in my ASP.NET web application and I want to fetch the extension and size of Google Document, I got a way to get the extension by sub-scripting the Title of the Document from last index of "." but in case of spreadsheet it can be possible as it just contains the name of the spreadsheet document.
Please provide your suggestion here!!
Also, it would be better if you can provide source in C#!!
thanks!
You can use the Google Drive API to retrieve documents stored on Google Drive and check their metadata, including fileExtension, fileSize and many others:
https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files
All methods have .NET samples and there's also a complete ASP.NET MVC application that you canuse to get started:

I have a search bar which should show me only the PDF files from Google when i start searching for something.Which API can i use for searching in google and how can i integrate that in my code.Are there any tutorial available for it.
You'll use the Documents List API
You'll search by MIME type.
It'll look like this (but needs to be properly encoded):
GET https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/-/{http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind}application/pdf
