I have not seen this on the boards but I may have missed the discussion. If not this is something new to work on <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=20053&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
I have never been able to get the employees of the companies I build these database for to format the file names of files being uploaded using the file upload feature in phpRunner. As we all know Windows and Apple allow the file name to be anything to include spaces and special characters BUT an Apache/Linux web server need no spaces or special characters in the file name or it will never find it. So I had a thought....
Dropbox.com linked file URLS! I've gotten clients to use Dropbox as a way to share files over multiple locations not on the LAN so now I would like to get my databases to do the same thing. My thought process is that the USER still has a File Upload but that file upload goes to a specific shared Dropbox. Is this even possible?
My backup is if it is not possible then I just give them a hyperlink text box to place the link file URL into.
Anyone have any thoughts or advice on this? Anyone doing something like this that can share their knowledge with me?

PS: Sergy, this would be great for the next big phpRunner upgrade.

Another option - upload your files to Dropbox-synced folder on the web server. Dropbox client will take care of the rest.
