What I have
- An Atlas database with multiple collections and schema defined for each
- Multiple clients (.NET, iOS, and Android) all connecting and synching well
- A collection that users can upload binary files to which will sync to other users where appropriate
What I need
- To upload large binary files using GridFS to the Atlas server
What I have
- A working upload of GridFS files using a connection string that I’ve manually entered into the app’s configuration
What I want
- To not need the connection string since I already have Device Sync working
Right now, I can get the authenticated user and use that to get a MongoClient and use that to get the database I want…
var db = Config.User.GetMongoClient("MyServiceName").GetDatabase("MyDatabaseName");
The problem is that this is a Realms.Sync.MongoClient.Database and when I try to instantiate GridFS I get a compiler error because it is expecting MongoDB.Driver.IMongoDatabase.
This is not urgent, because I can make it work with the connection string. But it seems bizarre to me that I can’t get to the Atlas server from a synched Realm.
