Dropbox-Uploader
A BASH script for uploading, downloading, listing, and managing files on Dropbox using the official API.
What is Dropbox-Uploader?
Dropbox Uploader is a BASH script that enables command-line interaction with Dropbox for uploading, downloading, and managing files. It solves the problem of accessing Dropbox from servers, headless systems, or scripts where the graphical client isn't available. It uses the official Dropbox API v2 for secure authentication without storing user passwords.
System administrators, developers, and power users who need to automate Dropbox operations in shell scripts, cron jobs, or on servers without a GUI. It's particularly useful for Raspberry Pi projects, backup automation, and cross-platform scripting.
Developers choose Dropbox Uploader because it's a lightweight, dependency-minimal tool that works anywhere BASH and cURL run. Unlike official SDKs, it requires no additional runtime or libraries, making it ideal for embedded systems and automation where simplicity and portability are critical.
