What about:
https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/manage-uploads
???

If the API provides a way to receive a file from a post request, then it should work exactly the same.
But the authentication might be different if you are using another API.

Copy/paste the last chunk of codes give me error when executing in the web terminal, I suspect copy from this forum is messing up the code with hidden characters etc. Unfortunately i know to little Linux to tell what is wrong. Anyway, this is the error i get.

Hi @Andreas_Nygren

I changed the command slightly earlier today, by adding newlines to make it more readable, but I think i might have introduced a (few) typos…

I have updated the command above, can you try again?

Best regards

Hi Toch

Can you try removing the backslashes and the newlines \ on each line, so that it looks like this instead

cmd.run 'curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/minion.gz\"}" --header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" --data-binary @/var/log/salt/minion.gz'

(remember to replace the token again)

Best regards
