WebClient.Download question.

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 77 views

I'm trying to download a file from Unity using WebClient.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Net;

public class FileDownload : MonoBehaviour {
    public string text;
    public Text logText;
    // // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {

    }

    // // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
        logText.text = text;
    }

    public void DownloadURL(){
        string downLink = "https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByKk42PO-EvebmRGN0Y0V2ZSVmc";
        string filename = "C:/User/ISENDO/Desktop/Copy/deny.jpg";

        WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient ();

        try{
            myWebClient.DownloadFile(downLink,filename);        
        }

        catch(WebException error){
            text += error + "\n";
        }
    }
}

When I do this, I can't get the picture normally and I keep getting 111KB files.

What's the problem?

The URL you want to download is not the URL that only contains the image, but the URL of the web page that displays the image. I need a link that only lowers the ULR.

For example, if you change the image url to this, it will work well.

https://res.cloudinary.com/eightcruz/image/upload/v1490000448/banner_slack_2x_iegsyt.png

If you need an image server, http://cloudinary.com/ is recommended. After uploading the image here, you can get the URL that you can get right away.

public static Image getImage(String url) {
            String defaultUrl = Basic.WEB_ROOT; // Default URL, modify if desired.
            String totalUrl = defaultUrl + url;

            // Download the image.
            byte[] data = new WebClient().DownloadData(totalUrl);
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(data);
            return Image.FromStream(ms);
        }

It's a method that I personally use.

And I don't think the URL you're using (Google Drive) will work because the image is not a direct link.
