I saved a dataset in a RDS file on onedrive and made it shareable link. Now, if I use that link to read the file, I got an error.
readRDS(url("https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am3aUTxhPMS8iM4pqe5fUZbiA4m9rw"))
#> Error in readRDS(url("https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am3aUTxhPMS8iM4pqe5fUZbiA4m9rw")): unknown input format
On the other hand, if I download the file from the browser, I copy the link address and I use that one...that works.
Unfortunately, the link address obtained in that way is available only for a limited time (it doesn't work permanently).
I know googledrive and rdrop2 and so I have some workarounds,
but still...I don't understand the logic behind this.
Any help?

I am trying to download a files (it could be png, csv or pdf) from an internal url which seems to have redirects. I have tried downloading using download.file with extra=-L option, the download function from downloader package and the httr package.
However, in all cases I get a file of 768 B. Saving this file as a .txt shows that there is a another url within that. I have tried using that url, but without success. I see the following message (along with other information) in the downloaded file
Since your browser does not support JavaScript, you must press the Resume button once to proceed.
What works is if I stick that url in the browseURL function, I get a prompt to save the desired file.
I need to run the script in batch mode for reproducibility purposes, is there any way to run the browseURL in batch mode? or is there any other tool that would be useful here? (I have tried read.csv, fread etc. without any success). Unfortunately, I can't share the url as it is internal to my organization.
Thanks

I am having same question exactly, and have found a solution
Do you know your R Server's path?
You are able to find full path easily. If you choose an image file in [Files] tab, open the file on the browser maybe.
And then, type this. That's it.
browseURL("http://yourhost:portnumber/files/yourpath/filename.xlsx")
In a web form (aspx) I want to ask the user for the path of a file that needs to be used by one of our team.
At first it was a simple textbox but a lot of people send us wrong path (copy/paste seemed too hard for them).
So I tried to use an input file to be sure the path exists but noticed that the file is then send with the form. As the files can weight hundreds of Mb that was not acceptable.
Then I found a way with Jquery to use the input file to get the path of the file without sending it : it works fine on IE but Chrome translate the path in "fakepath". I understand that it is for security reasons.
So I am again looking for a solution, working on all browser, to get from the user the path of a file (with a specific extension) without him being able to write a wrong path.
I hope someone will have the brillant idea I am unable to find :-).
How about receiving only a few kilobytes of the file data from stream instead of the whole file to ensure the path points to a valid file.
I am developing a .NET intranet site which will enable the user to see a list of files (file details stored in DB) and link to the actual PDF/XML/XLS and open it... kind of like a table of contents for the network.
During data entry, the user enters various data about a document, then browses to the file on the network and selects it using the asp:FileUpload. The codebehind then saves the network path to the DB. There is alot of overhead here because i'm sending the file to the server but never use it.
Everything has been working fine until someone tries to use a large PDF file then I get the dreaded MAXIMUM REQUEST LENGTH EXCEEDED error... So I'm trying to find a solution here... I do not need the actual file.. just the path and filename.
I know not all browsers send the full path but our systems have older browsers so everything is working fine now, but will probably break soon.. which is another reason to find a different solution.
I've looked into Javascript to pull the path but that won't work...
Any other ideas? Other ways to just grab the path and filename? (besides manually typing it in to a Text field)
Thanks,
Todd.
This may help too
How to get the full path of a file from asp: file upload?
string filename = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.FileName);//file name
string path= Server.MapPath(filename);//path
just putting this out there to see if anyone has any good off-the-cuff suggestions.
I have a web page with a button that triggers the download of a PDF file. When I run this page up in development from within VS I get the file coming back for download as expected, however since moving my web site to a staaging environment it is now yielding a very different result: When I click the download button I instead get an error and a message which seems to indicate that the call actually attempted to download the raw ASPX page rather than any ZIP file.
As this works so painlessly in my development environment, I'm assuming this must be down to environmental/configurational differences. Has anybody come across this before and if so could you inform me of the error of my ways?
Many thanks in advance

Could the aspx file be the actual zipfile ? Have you tried downloading it and open as zip?
Does the server allow for aspx to execute, eg mime-settings ?
Maybe this helps Filename and mime problems - ASP.NET Download file (C#)
Or look here How to retrieve and download server files (File.Exists and URL)
