Dropbox Linux CLI

Author: Filip L

Description

The Dropbox Linux CLI dbcli.py was created to accommodate for the lack of an official Linux CLI for Dropbox. This Python program allows you to query the daemon in a similar manner to the GUI client.

The available commands can be obtained by running dbcli.py help:

Usage: dbcli.py <command> [options] ... <command> [options]
Available commands:
   status - Get overall status for the daemon.
   copypublic <file> - Copies the url to the clipboard (? I guess)
   install <x86/x86_64> - Tries to download the daemon and install it in your home directory.
   browse <folder> - Browse the specified folder in your browser.
   copygallery - Copies the gallery url to the clipboard.
   share <file> - Open the browser and shows share-information.
   file <file> - Get information about a file/folder.
   folder <folder> - Get information about a file/folder.
   help - Gives this.
   revisions <file> - Opens the revisions page in your browser for the specified file.
