Node Dropbox Uploader

Node Dropbox Uploader uploads files to a Dropbox folder form the command line. The tool has been designed for usage on remote servers as part of an automated script such as database backups.

Install

npm install node-dropbox-uploader

Run

You will need a Dropbox Application key and secret for an application created at www.dropbox.com/developers/apps

Provide these together with the file you wish to upload when running the command line tool

node-dropbox-uploader --dropbox-key <key> --dropbox-secret <secret> --filename <upload>

First Time Configuration

If a valid .token file isn't present then you will need to authorise the backup application with your dropbox account. After executing the command you will be given a dropbox URL which will provide you with an authorisation code. Once entered, a .token file will be cached for future execution.
