SkyDrive

Page 10: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Microsoft’s cloud storage solution for files and photo sharing

• Guidelines for using SkyDrive in Windows 8 Apps– Upload data in response to user action• Apps are allowed to store data without user interaction

– Use SkyDrive for what it does best• Documents, photos, etc.

– Don’t undermine trust• Respect user security and privacy• Warn if data is public, etc.

SkyDrive overview

Page 11: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Don’t scatter data around SkyDrive

• Follow this pattern:– [SkyDrive root]• Sub folder: ApplicationData

– Sub folder: [Application Name] ([Publisher Name or Company Name])» Files…

Where to store app data in SkyDrive

Page 12: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Interact with files using HTTP operations:– POST / PUT to upload– GET to download–MOVE / COPY to move or copy without downloading– The SDK wrappers these operations for you:• LiveConnectClient.PostAsync• LiveConnectClient.GetAsync• Etc.

• Permissions– Inherited from parent object up the folder hierarchy

SkyDrive API Core Concepts

Page 13: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• id - prefixed with file or folder– i.e. “file.a6b2a7e8f2515e5e.A6B2A7E8F2515E5E!126”

• name – user supplied display name– i.e. “EpisodeNotes.txt”

• description

• type – file, folder, album, etc.

• source – if a file, the path to download the file– https://....

Useful folder and file properties

Page 14: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Important types:– LiveConnectSession– LiveConnectClient• Requires a valid session• Required scope:

– wl.skydrive - Read access– wl.skydrive_update – read and write access

– LiveOperationResult• contains a dynamic dictionary containing resultant key/value pairs

Working with SkyDrive API

Page 15: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Supply the itemId as either an id or one of the few friendly names:• file.a6b2a7e8f2515e5e.A6B2A7E8F2515E5E!126

• /me/skydrive

Retrieving file or folder properties

Page 16: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Warning: no type safety or compiler checks!

Result properties can be access via dynamic

Page 17: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Some folders are accessed by Folder ID– Example: folder.a6b2a7e8f2515e5e.A6B2A7E8F2515E5E!

126

• Some folders are accessed by name– /me - details about the signed in user– /me/skydrive – root of your SkyDrive folder– /me/calendars– /me/contacts– /me/events

• List files by obtaining the containing folder id

Understanding folder and file hierarchy

Page 18: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Imagine we want to download filename.txt:– /me/skydrive/directory1/directory2/filename.txt

• In order to retrieve a list of files and folders contained in directory1 (and we don’t know directory1’s id), we first need to get a list of the folders in /me/skydrive

Download a file: Step 1 : Get folders of “/me/skydrive”

Page 19: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Once we have the list of files and folders (from /me/skydrive), we can find directory1 and its id property:

– id = folder.96a6fb5ab7b940c6.96A6FB5AB7B940C6!123

Download a file: Step 2 : Get “directory1” from list

Page 20: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• We use the Folder Id to find the folders in directory1, so we can find the id for directory2:

Download a file: Step 3 : Get folders of “directory1”

Page 21: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• We repeat the last few steps and get directory2’s id, – directory2Id =

folder.bb1b4E12b9f9414f.BB1B4E12B9F9414F!231

• We use can get a list of files (and folders) in directory2:

Download a file: Step 5 : Get files of “directory2”

Page 22: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• We can the find the properties for filename.txt and the path we need to download it:

Download a file: Step 6 : Get “file.txt” file url

Page 23: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Now we have the download path, we need to create a local StorageFile where we will write the downloaded file

Download a file: Step 7 : Create local target

Page 24: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

• Use the download path

– Note: uses the background downloader

Download a file: Step 8 : Create local target

Page 25: 08 | Advanced Features Jerry Nixon | Microsoft Developer Evangelist Daren May | President & Co-founder, Crank211.

1. Get folders of “/me/skydrive”

2. Get “directory1” from list

3. Get folders of “directory1”

4. Get “directory2” from list

5. Get files of “directory2”

6. Get “file.txt” file url

7. Create local target

8. Download to target

Get a file, recap
