Add support for Dropbox API's Content_Hash?
Are there any plans to add support for Dropbox API's content_hash
?
To calculate the content_hash
of a file:
- Split the file into blocks of 4 MB (4,194,304 or 4 * 1024 * 1024 bytes). The last block (if any) may be smaller than 4 MB.
- Compute the hash of each block using SHA-256.
- Concatenate the hash of all blocks in the binary format to form a single binary string.
- Compute the hash of the concatenated string using SHA-256. Output the resulting hash in hexadecimal format.
More info regarding it can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash
