How do I programmatically locate my Dropbox folder using C#?

UPDATED SOLUTION Dropbox now provides an info.json file as stated here: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/4584 If you don’t want to deal with parsing the JSON, you can simply use the following solution: var infoPath = @”Dropbox\info.json”; var jsonPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(“LocalAppData”), infoPath); if (!File.Exists(jsonPath)) jsonPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(“AppData”), infoPath); if (!File.Exists(jsonPath)) throw new Exception(“Dropbox could not be found!”); var dropboxPath … Read more

The answer of @Christina is based on Dropbox APP v1, which is deprecated now and will be turned off on 6/28/2017. (Refer to here for more information.) APP v2 is launched in November, 2015 which is simpler, more consistent, and more comprehensive. Here is the source code with APP v2. #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: … Read more

Is it possible to host a bare Git repository using Dropbox, to share code?

I see no reason why it would lose data — Git’s repository structure is robust, and in the repository store itself, files with the same name will always have the same content (this doesn’t apply to branch names). It’s not going to be efficient, though. Git’s transfer protocol means that it will usually only transfer … Read more

Mercurial (and, I guess Git) with Dropbox: any drawbacks?

I’d advise against it for the reasons stated above, but more strenuously stated. Both mercurial and git have their own protocols for moving changesets between repositories. These protocols are optimized/built for: efficiency consistency (never can you pull from a repo in a half-updated state) hooks/triggers — doing things on push/pull including quality (no tabs allowed, … Read more

Auto Login Dropbox account on Core Api without Login Prompt

The Dropbox API was designed with the intention that each user would link their own Dropbox account, in order to interact with their own files. However, it is technically possible to connect to just one account. The SDKs don’t offer explicit support for it and we don’t recommend doing so, for various technical and security … Read more

Codesign of Dropbox API fails in Xcode 4.6.3: “code object is not signed at all”

I think I may have figured this one out. I’ve been running Xcode 4.6.3 on OS X Mavericks, under the impression that any build-specific tools were bundled in the Xcode application. But, it seems codesign is in /usr/bin. Whether it’s put there by one of the Xcode installers or comes with a vanilla system install, … Read more

How do I use Spring Boot to serve static content located in Dropbox folder?

You can add your own static resource handler (it overwrites the default), e.g. @Configuration public class StaticResourceConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter { @Override public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) { registry.addResourceHandler(“/**”).addResourceLocations(“file:/path/to/my/dropbox/”); } } There is some documentation about this in Spring Boot, but it’s really just a vanilla Spring MVC feature. Also since spring boot 1.2 (I think) you … Read more

Git with Dropbox Issues

As it was already pointed out, Dropbox isn’t the safest solution to share your repo (see “Is this plain stupid: GIT Sharing Via DropBox?“. Greg Bacon remarked that Dropbox already retains old versions of files, which is a bit redundant with what Git already does. See “this discussion” (which was about a full repo backup, … Read more

How to configure Git for using it with Dropbox?

If you want to add an intermediate repo container, Dropbox is fine provided: You use the git bundle format: it generates a bare repo with only one file (meaning Dropbox is more likely to correctly sync it to any of your computers: it is just about copying one file, not “the whole structure” from which … Read more

How to use Git and Dropbox together? [closed]

I think that Git on Dropbox is great. I use it all the time. I have multiple computers (two at home and one at work) on which I use Dropbox as a central bare repository. Since I don’t want to host it on a public service, and I don’t have access to a server that … Read more
