... Iam deploying my shiny app to shinyapps.io & all my app files(app.r,www) are all stored in my dropbox. I have loaded the rsconnect command then published the app to my account. The deployment process is successful but when I go to my app url I get the following error: Any ideas on how to solve t…

The problem was with the paths I was able to change it to relative path & it worked!!

I was able to solve this through redeployment but the "cannot connect to data source" error persists.

All this code is in app.R while my data is in www folder in my dropbox. I was thinking of using rdrop2 to make connection but I have no idea of how I can load all the 4 shape files & 1 csv file.Here is the code: #loading elevation shape file countor<-readOGR( dsn="C:/Users/Dropbox/www/Elevation …

All of those are absolute paths that works on your local Windows machine. They do not exist on shinyapps.io . You will need to use an R package or other mechanism to retrieve the files if you are not including them in the bundle you are uploading.

Which R package or mechanism should I use? That is where I am stuck.

I don't have a particular recommendation, but if you don't turn up anything by searching the Community for Dropbox then I would suggest a separate post that solicits recommendations for such a package.

Hi Brian! I´m having this very same issue when I try to upload my shiny app. Can you explain to us the solution you found? An example of how you changed the path of the shape files would be great. Thanks

The answer is to use relative paths in your R script. That means that the path uses ../ or ./ to locate the file relative to the working directory of the script.
