adropicka

Another very basic one-file-per-run console client-wrapper for DropBox, based on Python SDK

You'll need Python and DropBox for Python SDK to run this one.

Authorization

python adropicka.py --authorize-dir

or

python adropicka.py --authorize-root

to authorize the application within DropBox (app has production status, there's no limit of user number).

Run, copy URL from the console, follow this URL in the browser and allow the application to have an access to your DropBox account (its own folder or the whole tree). Then copy authentication code from the web page and enter it at the application's prompt. The token file, "adropicka_token.txt", should appear. You have to perform the authorization only once.

List folder content

python adropicka.py --list /folderOne/yetAnotherFolder

or

python adropicka.py -l /folderOne/yetAnotherFolder

Nested folders are not traversed.

Make folder

python adropicka.py --makedir /nested/nextInside

or

python adropicka.py -m /nested/nextInside

If the folder exists already, error will not be raised.

Upload file

python adropicka.py --upload ./testfile.dat /folderOne

or

python adropicka.py -u ./testfile.dat /folderOne

If the file exists already, it will be re-uploaded.

Download file

python adropicka.py --download /folderOne/testfile.dat ./innerDir

or

python adropicka.py -d /folderOne/testfile.dat ./innerDir

If the file exists already, it will be re-downloaded.

Remove file or folder

python adropicka.py --remove /folderOne/testfile.dat
python adropicka.py --remove /folderOne

or

python adropicka.py -r /folderOne/testfile.dat
python adropicka.py -r /folderOne

If file or folder doesn't exist, error will not be raised.

Also...

There are few other options, run

python adropicka.py --help

to see them all.

TODO

Copying, moving, sharing, ... a lot.

Reverence

goes to skicka, a much more sophisticated Google Drive console client, which was the example to follow, in syntax and usage.

Why so scarce?

The main purpose of this thing was to add a DropBox support to Naamari project. The upload/download/remove functionality seems to be sufficient... at the moment.
