Can't download files using both API Docs and REST API

Connecting to File Storage

Hey,

I can’t download files from directories either using API Docs or the REST API.

Download from /api/v2/files/ is OK but from an inner directory, it gets error 404.

  • download “/api/v2/files/photo.jpg” --> response code: 200 OK

  • download “/api/v2/files/test/photo.jpg” --> response code: 404 NOT FOUND

I’m getting the same problem here…tried to put the folder path in public paths in service configuration, still no success

I filed this as a bug yesterday. It looks like it only affects API Docs. Try making the call with another rest client, like Postman.
If the call doesn’t work, please share your error information.

It doesn’t only affect API Docs, I can’t turn paths into public paths.

Config:

Postman return:

Actually Postman worked for me. As I can see in your screenshot it seems your Postman error is because of missing X-DreamFactory-Session-Token since you’ve provided only one header.

But still not working in API-Docs and REST API.

I’m trying to set public paths to files, and public paths have to work without any headers. Even if I set a path as public in the file service config the path is not becoming public. Why is that?

Thanks

Public paths are for use in the browser, not for regular API calls. To access them them, you need to point your browser to

http://yourdreamfactoryurl/files/publicfolder

no api/v2
