dropbox

Go client library for the Dropbox core and Datastore API with support for uploading and downloading encrypted files.

Support of the Datastore API should be considered as a beta version.

Prerequisite

To use this library, you must have a valid client ID (app key) and client secret (app secret) provided by Dropbox.
To register a new client application, please visit https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create

Installation

This library depends on the oauth2 package, it can be installed with the go get command:

$ go get golang.org/x/oauth2

This package can be installed with the go get command:

$ go get github.com/stacktic/dropbox

Examples

This simple 4-step example will show you how to create a folder:

package main

import (
    "dropbox"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    var err error
    var db *dropbox.Dropbox

    var clientid, clientsecret string
    var token string

    clientid = "xxxxx"
    clientsecret = "yyyyy"
    token = "zzzz"

    // 1. Create a new dropbox object.
    db = dropbox.NewDropbox()

    // 2. Provide your clientid and clientsecret (see prerequisite).
    db.SetAppInfo(clientid, clientsecret)

    // 3. Provide the user token.
    db.SetAccessToken(token)

    // 4. Send your commands.
    // In this example, you will create a new folder named "demo".
    folder := "demo"
    if _, err = db.CreateFolder(folder); err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Error creating folder %s: %s\n", folder, err)
    } else {
        fmt.Printf("Folder %s successfully created\n", folder)
    }
}

If you do not know the user token, you can replace step 3 by a call to the Auth method:

    // This method will ask the user to visit an URL and paste the generated code.
    if err = db.Auth(); err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    // You can now retrieve the token if you want.
    token = db.AccessToken()
