Uploading Images

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I'm trying to upload an image to a given pCloud path

>>> from pcloud import PyCloud
>>> pc = PyCloud('MyID','MyPSW')
>>> pc.uploadfile(filename='image.jpg', data='What goes here?', path='/path-to-pcloud-dir')
That creates a file in a pcloud given path with the text 'What goes here?'

As data I tried  Image.open, Image.fromarray, io.BytesIO, image.to bytes but always 
I get "AttributeError: 'JpegImageFile' object has no attribute 'read'"

For example:

>>>from PIL import Image
>>>i=Image.open('image.jpg','r')
>>> pc.uploadfile(filename='image.jpg', data=i, path='/path-to-pcloud-dir')

@marciano1 Thanks for your report. I've added the two upload options to the documentation: See https://github.com/tomgross/pycloud#examples

You migth want to try the latest version 1.0a8. Previously there was an issue with multiple file uploads.

Great! That worked. I would add to the uploadfile example "path='/full-pcloud-path' ". You forgot to close the parenthesis. Thank you. This method works for me several times faster than using rclone
