Upload file to Dropbox with angularjs

Question

I'm trying to upload file to Dropbox with following code. File is successfully uploaded to Dropbox but size gone 0 bytes.

I'm now planning to upload microsoft word and pdf file.

    $scope.uploadHtmlFile = function($files) {
        var data = $files;
        $http({
            method: 'PUT',
            url: 'https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/dropbox/' + $files[0].name + '?access_token=TOKEN',
            data: data
        }).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
            console.log(data);
            console.log('file uploaded successfully');
        }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
            console.log('error : ' + data);
            console.log('erro file uploaded successfully');
        });
    }

Does this have an answer? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22101651/upload-file-to-dropbox-using-files-put-javascript — Jorg, Dec 14 '15 at 05:26
@Jorg that's correct for html file upload. Now, I'm no word and pdf file uploading. — PPShein, Dec 14 '15 at 05:27
Also I think the `param` parameter actually called `data`, which might explain the empty body — Jorg, Dec 14 '15 at 05:29
@Jorg sorry, type. it's *data* actually. But file is 0 bytes. — PPShein, Dec 14 '15 at 05:31

$files is an array object, and file will be referred using $files[0].

$scope.uploadHtmlFile = function($files) {
        var data = $files[0];
        $http({
            method: 'PUT',
            url: 'https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/dropbox/' + $files[0].name + '?access_token=TOKEN',
            data: data
        }).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
            console.log(data);
            console.log('file uploaded successfully');
        }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
            console.log('error : ' + data);
            console.log('erro file uploaded successfully');
        });
    }
