|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
Dropbox paths may be as deep as required, eg
|
|
`remote:directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for dropbox involves getting a token from Dropbox
|
|
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
|
|
through it.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
d) Delete remote
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
e/n/d/q> n
|
|
name> remote
|
|
What type of source is it?
|
|
Choose a number from below
|
|
1) swift
|
|
2) s3
|
|
3) local
|
|
4) google cloud storage
|
|
5) dropbox
|
|
6) drive
|
|
type> 5
|
|
Dropbox App Key - leave blank to use rclone's.
|
|
app_key>
|
|
Dropbox App Secret - leave blank to use rclone's.
|
|
app_secret>
|
|
Remote config
|
|
Please visit:
|
|
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&response_type=code
|
|
Enter the code: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXXX
|
|
--------------------
|
|
[remote]
|
|
app_key =
|
|
app_secret =
|
|
token = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
|
|
--------------------
|
|
y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then use it like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your dropbox
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in your dropbox
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to a dropbox directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
Modified time
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Md5sums and timestamps in RFC3339 format accurate to 1ns are stored in
|
|
a Dropbox datastore called "rclone".
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Dropbox datastores are limited to 100,000 rows so this is the maximum
|
|
number of files rclone can manage on Dropbox.
|
|
|
|
Dropbox is case sensitive which can sometimes cause duplicated files.
