* add support to hashing module * add dbhashsum to list the hashes * add support to dropbox module This means objects up and downloaded to/from Dropbox will have their hashes checked. Note after this change local objects are calculating MD5, SHA1 and DBHASH which is excessive and needs to be fixed.

|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
Dropbox paths may be as deep as required, eg
|
|
`remote:directory/subdirectory`.
|
|
|
|
The initial setup for dropbox involves getting a token from Dropbox
|
|
which you need to do in your browser. `rclone config` walks you
|
|
through it.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
n) New remote
|
|
d) Delete remote
|
|
q) Quit config
|
|
e/n/d/q> n
|
|
name> remote
|
|
Type of storage to configure.
|
|
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
|
|
1 / Amazon Drive
|
|
\ "amazon cloud drive"
|
|
2 / Amazon S3 (also Dreamhost, Ceph, Minio)
|
|
\ "s3"
|
|
3 / Backblaze B2
|
|
\ "b2"
|
|
4 / Dropbox
|
|
\ "dropbox"
|
|
5 / Encrypt/Decrypt a remote
|
|
\ "crypt"
|
|
6 / Google Cloud Storage (this is not Google Drive)
|
|
\ "google cloud storage"
|
|
7 / Google Drive
|
|
\ "drive"
|
|
8 / Hubic
|
|
\ "hubic"

9 / Local Disk
|
|
\ "local"
|
|

Remote config
|
|
Please visit:
|
|
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&response_type=code
|
|
Enter the code: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXXX
|
|
--------------------
|
|
[remote]
|
|
app_key =
|
|
app_secret =
|
|
token = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
|
|
--------------------
|
|
y) Yes this is OK
|
|
e) Edit this remote
|
|
d) Delete this remote
|
|
y/e/d> y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then use it like this,
|
|
|
|
List directories in top level of your dropbox
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd remote:
|
|
|
|
List all the files in your dropbox
|
|
|
|
rclone ls remote:
|
|
|
|
To copy a local directory to a dropbox directory called backup
|
|
|
|
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
|
|
|
|
### Modified time and Hashes ###
|
|
|
|
Dropbox supports modified times, but the only way to set a
|
|
modification time is to re-upload the file.
|
|
|
|
This means that if you uploaded your data with an older version of
|
|
rclone which didn't support the v2 API and modified times, rclone will
|
|
decide to upload all your old data to fix the modification times. If
|
|
you don't want this to happen use `--size-only` or `--checksum` flag
|
|
to stop it.
|
|
|
|
Dropbox supports [its own hash
|
|
type](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/content-hash) which
|
|
is checked for all transfers.
|
|
|
|
### Specific options ###
|
|
|
|
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
#### --dropbox-chunk-size=SIZE ####
|
|
|
|
Upload chunk size. Max 150M. The default is 128MB. Note that this
|
|
isn't buffered into memory.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
Note that Dropbox is case insensitive so you can't have a file called
|
|
"Hello.doc" and one called "hello.doc".
|
|
|
|
There are some file names such as `thumbs.db` which Dropbox can't
|
|
store. There is a full list of them in the ["Ignored Files" section
|
|
of this document](https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/145). Rclone will
|
|
issue an error message `File name disallowed - not uploading` if it
|
|
attempt to upload one of those file names, but the sync won't fail.
|
|
|
|
If you have more than 10,000 files in a directory then `rclone purge
|
|
dropbox:dir` will return the error `Failed to purge: There are too
|
|
many files involved in this operation`. As a work-around do an
|
|
`rclone delete dropbox:dir` followed by an `rclone rmdir dropbox:dir`.
