About:
Dropbox Uploader is a Bash script that provides a command-line interface to interact with the Dropbox API. It allows users to upload, download, list, and delete files without requiring complex dependencies or official Dropbox clients. The tool is designed for simplicity and portability, making it ideal for server-side automation and scripting tasks.
Key Features:
  • No dependencies other than cURL and standard Unix tools
  • Supports file upload, download, deletion, and directory listing
  • Simple configuration via a single access token
  • Works on any Unix-like system with Bash
Use Cases:
  • Automating backups from a Linux server to Dropbox
  • Syncing configuration files or logs to the cloud
  • CI/CD pipeline integration for artifact storage
Alternatives:
  • rclone – More feature-rich with support for many cloud providers, but heavier dependency footprint
  • dbxcli – Official Dropbox CLI tool, requires Python and OAuth setup
