Dropbox Uploader
Dropbox-Uploader is a Bash-based command-line client for managing files on Dropbox. It provides a full set of file operations including upload, download, copy, move, rename, delete, directory creation, and listing, all through shell scripts that use curl to interact with the Dropbox API. The tool authenticates via OAuth tokens and includes a chunked upload mechanism for handling large files reliably.
The project distinguishes itself with an interactive shell interface that lets users browse and manage remote files without re-entering commands, and a file-name-based password derivation system for generating decryption passwords from backup file names. It also supports automated encrypted backups by compressing local directories and uploading them to cloud storage, with the ability to generate shareable links that default to direct links for images.
Additional capabilities include cross-platform access, with support for running on rooted Android devices through platform-agnostic dependency checks, and integration with Keyboard Maestro for uploading files from Finder or Path Finder. The tool covers the full lifecycle of cloud file management, from backup automation to interactive browsing and shareable link creation.
