I have an app which access an app folder on a per user basis.
I also want to be able to have a specific folder within my dropbox - which ALL users of my application can access the files within - kinda like a shared folder between every user on the app.
Is this possible - and how do you do it?
I believe this is simply an unsupported feature for dropbox - and will most likely be using amazon cloud instead.

I have a WP website running on Azure app service, I want to clone it because my website is online but I want to experiment on it (So I want to clone it, leave one online and experiment with the clone), There is a service to clone my app inside azure but it is paid, it is there other way to clone the content (plugins and configuration) of my wp app service to put it in another wp app service?
There are two different options you can use to copy your site;
1) Copy the files and database onto the new webspace
This method is good if you have access to all your files and the database for your site. You simply copy the files over to the other webspace and export the database. This link will give you more information on this method - https://www.wpexplorer.com/migrating-wordpress-website/
2) Using a plugin to do it for you
There are several plugins you can use that will do the above for you and will automatically create a backup of your site including the database so that you don't have to do anything. Might I suggest this plugin, I've used it myself so I know it's reliable and should do the trick - https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/
It also has a feature that allows you to change any old URLs to the new URL which will save you a bit of time.
I hope this provides enough information for you to successfully transfer your site over.
I'm developing a web application in which I want to insert users and be able to display files that they upload via a search option. I can get all of the logic that I need sorted and the files uploaded into the correct directory. However, if I insert a new user into the db, the web app cannot find their file in the directory until I restart the server.
How can I make it so that the resources directory of my web app automatically gets refreshed by the server? I'm developing in Java/JSP and using Tomcat as my server.
Thanks!!
I'm guessing you're putting the files into the src/main/resources folder, then it's being packaged into the artifact and then you access them as the classpath resources. Then the next portion of the resources is going to be available after the next packaging.
Instead you should access the Files via usual File System and Absolute or Relative paths.
I have followed this tutorial and added my database. I did target both my app and my extension. From my app I can SELECT, INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE to the database. I want both my app and extension to share the same database. So I add information in my app and then show that information in the extension.
As it works now (I have tested) the app has one instance of the database and the extension has one instance. I have only added one db. Anyone got a clue why I have two instances of my database and why I can´t access the data added from the app in the extension?
Apps and their extensions are separate processes, so iOS sandboxing normally means they can't touch each other's files. The page you reference doesn't appear to address this in any way.
If you want to use the same SQLite file in both your app and the extension, you need to configure the "app groups" entitlement for both of them. That sets up a new directory that both of them can access, and you put your SQLite file there. You find this directory by using the containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: method on NSFileManager.
It's not clear to me whether the GitHub project you're using will make use of app groups. There's no other way to share your SQLite file, though. If that project doesn't use app groups, you'll need to either fix it so that it does or stop using it.
In my GWT application, a 'root' user upload a specific text file with data and that data should be available to anyone who have access to the app (using GAE).
What's the classic way to store a data that will be available to all users? I don't want to use any database (objectify!?) since this is a relatively small amount of information and it changes from time to time by root.
I was wondering if there was such static MAP on the 'engine level' (not user's session) that this info can be stored (and if the server is down - no bigi, root will upload again)
Thanks
You have three primary options:
Add this file to your /war/ directory and deploy with the app. This is what we typically do with all static files that rarely change (like .css file, images, etc.) This file will be available to all users, whether they are authenticated or not.
Add this file to your /war/WEB-INF/ directory and deploy with the app. This file will be available to your server-side code, so you can read it on the server-side and show to a user. This way you can decide which users can see this file and which users should not have access to it.
Upload this file to Google Cloud Storage. You can do it through an app, or you can simply upload it manually to a bucket using a GCS console or gsutil command-line tool. Then you simply provide a link to your users. The advantage of this option is that you do not have to redeploy your app when a file changes.
The only reason to go with the first two options is to have this file under version control. If you don't need that, I would recommend going with the GCS option.
I'm completely new to app engine and I need to give a certain directory in my application permission 733 How would I do that?
Files uploaded with your application are accessible only by your application - or in the case of static content, by everyone, logged in users, or admins only, depending on your authentication settings. Other applications cannot access your files, so the idea of file permissions makes no sense in the context of an App Engine app.
Note that you cannot write to the filesystem from your application. Any dynamically created data must live in the datastore, the blobstore, or memcache.
Post some more details about what you're trying to do, and we can advise how it would be done without writing files.
