The ShareFile class makes it easy to upload, download, and manage files, folders, and share links within ShareFile.

Syntax

cloudstorage.sharefile()

Remarks

The ShareFile class provides a simple interface for working with ShareFile. Capabilities include uploading and downloading files, strong encryption support, creating folders, moving and copying items, creating request and send links, and more.

Authentication

The class has the following default:

Application Profile

This profile encompasses the most basic grant types that OAuth supports. When this profile is set, all the requests and response handling is done by the class. Depending on the grant type, this may involve launching a browser so a user can login to authenticate with a authorization server. It may also involve starting an embedded web server to receive a response from a redirect.

To start the authentication and authorization process, the Authorize method should be called. If the authorization and authentication was successful, then the OAuthAccessToken property will be populated. Additionally, if a refresh token was provided the OAuthRefreshToken property will be populated as well. These values of the fields are for informational purposes. The class will also cache these tokens along with when the OAuthAccessToken will be expired. When a method that makes requests to the service provider is called or the Authorize method is called the class will automatically check to see if the access token is expired. If it is, it will then automatically try to get a new OAuthAccessToken. If the Authorize method was not used and user interaction would be required, the class will throw an error which can be caught. When user interaction is needed depends on what grant type is set in the OAuthGrantType property. To force the component to only check the access token when the Authorize method is called, the OAuthAutomaticRefresh configuration setting can be set to false.

A brief description of the supported values for the OAuthGrantType property are below. For more information, see the service documentation.

Authorization Code

When using the Authorization Code grant type, the class will use an authorization code to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the class expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, OAuthServerAuthURL, and OAuthServerTokenURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the class will parse the authorization code, setting the OAuthAuthorizationCode property, from the redirect. Immediately, the class will make a request to the token server to exchange the authorization code for an access token. The token server will return an access token and possibly a refresh token. If the OAuthRefreshToken property is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the class will not launch the browser and use the refresh token in its request to the token server instead of an authorization code.

Implicit

Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.

When using the Implicit grant type, the class will request the authorization server to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the class expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and OAuthServerAuthURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the class will parse the access token from the redirect.

A disadvantage of the grant type is that can not use a refresh token to silently get a new access token. Most service providers offer a way to silently get a new access token. See the service documentation for specifics. This means the class will not be able to automatically get a fresh token once it expires.

Password

Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.

When using the Resource Owner Password Credentials grant type, the class will authenticate as the resource owner. This allows for the class to avoid user interaction. This grant type often has specific limitations put on it by the service provider. See the service documentation for more details.

For this OAuthGrantType the class requires OAuthPasswordGrantUsername, OAuthClientSecret, and OAuthServerTokenURL to be set. The OAuthClientSecret should be set to the password of the account instead of a typical secret. In some cases, the OAuthClientId also needs to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will make a request to the token server for an access token using the username and password. The token server will return an access token if the authentication was successful. When this access token is expired, the component will automatically (see above for detailed description) make a new request to get a fresh one.

Web Profile

External OAuth Support

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE

Assign this value to the Authorization property before attempting any operations. Setting the Authorization property will cause the class to ignore the values set in the OAuth property.

Consult the documentation for the service for more information about supported scope values and more details on OAuth authentication.

Referencing and Creating Items, Links, Permissions, and Users

ShareFile typically uses specified ids to reference its objects. When an object is created, through methods such as CreateClient or CreateFolder or uploaded with the UploadFile method; the class will return with the objects ShareFile Id in the form of a string. In certain cases, a path (/parentFolder/ChildFolder) can be used to reference an item.

When a link is created using methods like CreateAndEmailLink , CreateAndEmailRequestLink, CreateLink, or CreateRequestLink then their URL is returned rather than their ShareFile id. To get the newly created id, the class also clears and populates the Links* properties with the new link. When creating a link, you can use the CreateLinkOptions* properties to set certain options for the link.

When a permission is created using the CreatePermission method, the class will not return anything as ShareFile uses a combination of a UserId and the ItemId of a folder to reference permissions. When creating a permission, you can use the CreatePermissionOptions* properties to set certain options for the permission.

Listing and Getting Items, Links, Permissions, and Users

When listing out the Links and Users currently available to the authenticated user you will use the corresponding ListLinks and ListUsers methods. Both of these methods take no parameters and will populates their corresponding properties. For links the properties is the Links* properties and for users it is the Users* properties.

When listing the Items within a Folder or Permissions, the corresponding methods will take a folders ItemId. ListItems will list the items in the folder to the Items* properties. The method will not recursively list out items found in child folders. The ListPermissions method will list all the permissions for the specified folder to the Permissions* properties.

The class can also list out the items associated with a specified link. The ListLinkItems method will take a LinkId and populate Items* properties.

The class also offers the ability to get the specific information about a certain item, link, permission, or user. GetItemInfo, GetLinkInfo and GetUserInfo each take a corresponding id. For permissions, GetPermissionInfo will take a FolderId and UserId rather than a specific id. Once called, they each clear and populate the corresponding properties.

For all list* and get* methods, there is a corresponding event that will fire for each item in the list. The ItemList event will fire when the ListItems, ListLinkItems, or GetItemInfo methods are called; the LinkList event will fire when the ListLinks or GetLinkInfo methods are called; the PermissionList event will fire when the ListPermissions or GetPermissionInfo methods are called; and the UserList event will fire when the ListUsers or GetUserInfo methods are called.

Downloading Files

The DownloadFile method downloads file or folder items.

If LocalFile is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by ItemData.

To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword before calling this method.

Download Notes

Simple Download

A simple download is consistent with setting the LocalFile to the destination of the file when it is downloaded and then calling the method with the item's id. For example: shareFile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; shareFile.DownloadFile(shareFile.Items[0].Id);

Uploading Files

The UploadFile method uploads new file items.

If LocalFile is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If LocalFile is not set the data in ItemData will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword.

Upload Notes

ShareFile offers two ways to upload a file. For smaller files a simple upload option is provided to upload data in one request. This is the default option. For larger files, uploads can be fragmented into multiple pieces, allowing resuming of uploads that may be interrupted.

Simple

By default the class uses the simple upload mechanism. ShareFile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; ShareFile.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");

Resumable

To enable resumable uploads set UseResumableUpload to true. This is recommended for large files. The class will automatically fragment the specified file into smaller pieces and upload each individually.

When UseResumableUpload is set to true and UploadFile is called, a resumable upload session is started by the class. Once called and the class fragments the file, the ResumeURL property is populated. This URL needs to be set so that the class can resume the upload if the upload is interrupted.

During a resumable upload, the FragmentComplete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The class also updates StartByte as necessary to indicate the current offset in the file.

If the upload is interrupted for any reason, resuming it is easy. First, verify that ResumeURL and StartByte are populated (if the same instance of the class is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). Then call UploadFile again to resume the upload at the specified StartByte offset.

Note that if the upload is not resumed after some time the upload session will expire. shareFile.UseResumableUpload = true; shareFile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; shareFile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip"); // The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download. // Using the same instance StartByte and ResumeURL are already populated from the previous // upload attempt. shareFile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");

Additional Functionality

The ShareFile class offers advanced functionality beyond simple uploads and downloads. For instance:

• Encrypt and decrypt files using the EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword properties.
• Basic file and folder manipulation and organization using methods such as CopyItem and MoveItem.
• And more!

Upload Notes

ShareFile offers two ways to upload a file. For smaller files a simple upload option is provided to upload data in one request. This is the default option. For larger files, uploads can be fragmented into multiple pieces, allowing resuming of uploads that may be interrupted.

Simple

By default the class uses the simple upload mechanism. ShareFile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; ShareFile.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");

Resumable

To enable resumable uploads set UseResumableUpload to true. This is recommended for large files. The class will automatically fragment the specified file into smaller pieces and upload each individually.

When UseResumableUpload is set to true and UploadFile is called, a resumable upload session is started by the class. Once called and the class fragments the file, the ResumeURL property is populated. This URL needs to be set so that the class can resume the upload if the upload is interrupted.

During a resumable upload, the FragmentComplete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The class also updates StartByte as necessary to indicate the current offset in the file.

If the upload is interrupted for any reason, resuming it is easy. First, verify that ResumeURL and StartByte are populated (if the same instance of the class is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). Then call UploadFile again to resume the upload at the specified StartByte offset.

Note that if the upload is not resumed after some time the upload session will expire. shareFile.UseResumableUpload = true; shareFile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; shareFile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip"); // The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download. // Using the same instance StartByte and ResumeURL are already populated from the previous // upload attempt. shareFile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");

ShareFile.EndTransfer Event

This event fires when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

sharefile.on('EndTransfer', listener: (e: {readonly direction: number}) => void )

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

ShareFile.Error Event

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

sharefile.on('Error', listener: (e: {readonly errorCode: number, readonly description: string}) => void )

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

ShareFile.FragmentComplete Event

Fires after each fragment of a resumable upload is completed.

Syntax

sharefile.on('FragmentComplete', listener: (e: {readonly fragmentNumber: number, readonly fragmentCount: number, interrupt: boolean}) => void )

Remarks

This event fires once for each link returned when ListLinks or GetLinkInfo is called. The link cannot be modified from this event. This event will not show the items related to the specific link when calling ListLinkItems. Those will be listed using the ItemList event.

ShareFile.Log Event

This event fires once for each log message.

Syntax

sharefile.on('Log', listener: (e: {readonly logLevel: number, readonly message: string, readonly logType: string}) => void )

Remarks

ShareFile.Progress Event

Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.

Syntax

sharefile.on('Progress', listener: (e: {readonly direction: number, readonly bytesTransferred: number, readonly totalBytes: number, readonly percentDone: number}) => void )

Remarks

This event fires during an upload or download to indicate the progress of the transfer of the entire request. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by one percent; the ProgressStep configuration setting can be used to alter this behavior.

Direction indicates whether the transfer is an upload (0) or a download (1).

BytesTransferred reflects the number of bytes that have been transferred so far, or 0 if the transfer is starting (however, see note below).

TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown. This amount includes the size of everything in the request like HTTP headers.

PercentDone reflects the overall progress of the transfer, or -1 if the progress cannot be calculated.

Note: By default, the class tracks transfer progress absolutely. If a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by this event upon and after resumption will account for the data that was transferred before the interruption.

For example, if 10MB of data was successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then continue to fire with successively greater values as usual.

This behavior can be changed by disabling the ProgressAbsolute configuration setting, in which case the class will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers. In this case, the BytesTransferred parameter will always be 0 the first time this event fires, regardless of whether the transfer is new or being resumed.

ShareFile.SSLServerAuthentication Event

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

sharefile.on('SSLServerAuthentication', listener: (e: {readonly certEncoded: string, readonly certEncodedB: Uint8Array, readonly certSubject: string, readonly certIssuer: string, readonly status: string, accept: boolean}) => void )

Remarks

This event fires with information about the server certificate. The Status property shows why verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). To manually accept an untrusted certificate, the SSLAcceptAnyServerCert setting must be set to True before initiating the connection.

ShareFile.SSLStatus Event

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

sharefile.on('SSLStatus', listener: (e: {readonly message: string}) => void )

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

ShareFile.StartTransfer Event

This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

sharefile.on('StartTransfer', listener: (e: {readonly direction: number}) => void )

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
