dropbox_live_sharelink: Enable Live View of Dropbox File in Browser

In coatless/dropcli: Interface with Linux Dropbox CLI

Description

Enable Live View of Dropbox File in Browser

Usage

dropbox_live_sharelink(fp)

Arguments

fp	A string containing the file path that is within the "Public" folder.

Details

To get the "live" aspect of the code view, we opt to:

• Switch www. with dl. at the beginning of URL to avoid Dropbox Viewer.

• Set the shared link to have a "?dl=0".

. This forces the file to only show in the browser. For more details please see: How do I force a file or folder to download or render on dropbox.com?

This was inspired by Michael Levy's UseR2016 Talk (See the part at 7:20) The file must be located outside of the Public directory

Examples

## Not run: 
# Return the file with live streaming enabled
dropbox_live_sharelink("path/to/file.R")

## End(Not run)
