I am developing a Google Drive application for Windows Phone using URLs provided in the SDK through HTTPWebRequest. Is there an API for WP8 to develop Google Drive applications?
I downloaded all of the content without any problem. While I am uploading the MIMEtype, it is not always uploaded correctly, and is uploaded as an octet stream.
Please can anyone help with how to upload to Google Drive using C# code?
Thanks
Check the "Upload Files" section of the Google Drive SDK :
https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-uploads
i got solution, actually i am using string[] HeaderKeys = { "X-Upload-Content-Type" }; string[] HeaderValues = { "application/vnd.google-apps.folder" } for post method,
here i used request.contentType in the place of X-Upload-Content-Type now i am uploading all files with correct stream.

I am making a app for SharePoint and have a form with several inputs for text and for files as well. The input for files works fine for regular files such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images etc... but wont work with videos. Is it possible to upload a video to a document library by code? Or cant you do that simply because the files is usually to big and would take long to upload?
The files is of the type HttpPostedFileBase and sent by a normal mvc form.
And this is the code for uploading it to the folder
FileCreationInformation attachFileInfo = new FileCreationInformation();
attachFileInfo.ContentStream = pNewRequest.FileToUpload1.InputStream;
attachFileInfo.Url = Path.GetFileName(pNewRequest.FileToUpload1.FileName);
newFolder.Files.Add(attachFileInfo);
According to this StackExchange answer, SP videos are organized in special VideoSet folders which seem to be similar to doc sets.
You said you're using MVC to submit the files so I'm assuming you're using CSOM on an external server. Here's an example for handling video uploads via CSOM.
I can't download file from google drive using below mentioned code
string url = https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=XXXX
WebClient client = new WebClient();

Could you please suggest me to how to download the file using webclient with user credential?
you can download file from google drive using below mentioned Link.

There is a Quickstart guide for .NET developers in the Drive API docs.
https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/dotnet
In theory this should work however I am not convinced .NET is well supported. It might be a good idea to try the javascript guide and see how it compares.
I tried this below code but video is not playing.
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var data = await httpClient.GetByteArrayAsync(new Uri("http://www.youtube.com/embed/iRFE-sKOp4I"));
var file = await KnownFolders.MusicLibrary.CreateFileAsync("myfile.mp4", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
var targetStream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite);
await targetStream.AsStreamForWrite().WriteAsync(data, 0, data.Length);
await targetStream.FlushAsync();
targetStream.Dispose();
Any one please help me to how to save download..thankyou
I agree with #x..., If you want to download video from Youtube, you need to install the YoutubeExtractor.
But with that same code i can't to download different website videos.
I tested your code with a video download uri "http://video.ch9.ms/ch9/9b56/4f2d0b4d-ea37-4525-8833-128ad6e69b56/uwp01SeriesIntro.mp4", it works fine.
Actually I want to download openload.co/embed/EHmDelqNx94 video is there any possibility..
I just took a look at this video, I find this a web named openload, and this web service share free without limits, but you need to use the develop Api of it. For downloading, you can refer to the download APIs here.
the video url appears after click on play button, is there any way to handle click event by httpclient or any other clients
From the official document of this web, I found this:
get a download link by using download ticket.
You can refer to Download Link.
Update:
i tried openload api, but when get download link it showing captcha error, can you please help me for this
I just reproduced your problem, this is because your source for download is not a public source, it needed authentication. When you get the Download Ticket for download, although the Api said API-Login and API-Key are not required, you need to use the full path https://api.openload.co/1/file/dlticket?file={file}&login={login}&key={key} to get an authenticated ticket, then you can use this ticket to get the download URL.
The general problem: I have some code that needs a URL to a PDF file. It seems to work for URLs I find online, but not the ones I create myself.
For example, when I use a random URL from Xamarin it works fine, but when I try to generate a URL from either DropBox or Amazon Cloud Drive it does not work.
Example URLs:
These links open harmless PDF files. Please try it:
Xamarin (works fine)
DropBox (does not work)
Amazon Cloud Drive (does not work)
As you see, in a browser (I have used Chrome to test) you will get the PDF documents to open, but not without some kind of context (except for the Xamarin one).
The code: I am developing in MonoTouch and I am using a component called mTouch PDF Reader. The code is simply:
var documentViewController = new DocumentViewController (1, "Some name here", "http://someurlhere.pdf");
ActivateController (documentViewController);
This opens a nice PDF reader inside my app, but, as I can't use my own created URLs this does not help me. This is a 3rd party library so I can't look at the code. By the way, when I use one of my URLs, the code crashes with a System.NullReferenceException with this stacktrace:
MonoTouch.Foundation.NSArray.FromNativeObjects (items={MonoTouch.UIKit.UIViewController[1]}, count=1) in /Developer/MonoTouch/Source/monotouch/src/shared/Foundation/NSArray.cs:109

Exam936.Application.Main (args={string[0]}) in /Users/EdGriMac/Dropbox/Quiz/Code/Exam926/Exam936/Main.cs:16
The frustration:
Is there a specific way to create URLs that work in this way? It does seem like DropBox does something different as it sort of iFrames the document or something. I don't know what Amazon Cloud Drive does. What has Xamarin done? Is it, as pointed out in the comments, because of http vs https?
I am completely lost. Am I missing something simple? Do you have any other way to create URLs to suggest? Googling this is really difficult as I continue to hit examples of how to share a URL in DropBox and so on...
By the way, I do not want to have the documents as part of the app as this means I will have to create a new version of the app just to change something in a document.
Update 1: I have added links above. I will try some other suggestions later and will leave more updates. Thanks in advance for any further suggestions!
Update 2: I have used Fiddler to look at the response on each of the URLs. The Xamarin URL has Content-Type: application/pdf while both DropBox and Amazon Cloud Drive has Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8. This explains a lot. I will try andersr's suggestion later today as I do have a web server to put files on.
Update 3 When I put the PDF file on my Amazon EC2 server, created a virtual directory under my web site in IIS, the URL to my website + virtual directory + filename worked! Turns out the Content-Type had to be application/pdf for the mTouch PDF Reader to open it through a URL.
Thanks everyone for your help!
It seems to me that the first two URLS, link directly to the PDF files, but the latter one, ie. the one on Amazon Cloud Drive links to a page which again links to the PDF. I suggest the following potential solutions:
Find a reliable way to extract the direct url to the document on cloud drive. The link to the document is not the one you provided, but this: link . Perhaps Amazon has documentation on how you can avoid the html interface in order to retrive your file. I am not familiar with cloud drive at all. Note that the url provided has some time limited token attached to it.
Host the document on infrastructure you have more control over. IE. setup your own web server and host the documents there. Alternatively use another cloud storage provider which gives you the ability to link to files directly.
