Dropbox Uploader Bash Script: Useful For Servers, Raspberry Pi And More

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader">Dropbox Uploader</a> is a bash script you can use to access your <a href="http://www.dropbox.com/">Dropbox</a> files from the command line, without having to install the Dropbox client. The script can upload, download, delete, share or list the files available in your Dropbox account.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The script is useful in many situations, including: automatic backups, access Dropbox from an ARM server / <b><a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/raspberry-pi-computer-goes-on-sale.html">Raspberry Pi</a></b>, etc. (since Dropbox isn't available for ARM). That's because its only requirement is cURL, so you don't have to install the Dropbox client to quickly upload or download some files from Dropbox.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><a name="more"></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Dropbox Uploader isn't just for Linux and it should work on Mac OSX, FreeBSD or Windows/Cygwin too. Also, since it uses the official Dropbox API for the authentication process, you don't have to enter your username and password and you can easily revoke its access to your account from the Dropbox website.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first time your run the script, you must create a Dropbox app and allow the script to access your Dropbox account. Simply run <i>./dropbox_uploader.sh</i> and follow the steps: create a Dropbox App, enter the application key and secret, select if you want to give the script full Dropbox access or just for the app folder and in the end, you'll have to access a link in your web browser to authorize Dropbox Uploader.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Everything is explained by the Dropbox Uploader script, as you can see in the screenshots below:</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif6cXrIHioSs9cD4KYBEplozcWQMlvo3sVA4SLBfGvpf8o2XhNw3xN8VbxG-4UwdBpyRUXQnT2VSBnB0_fNn3yRocP-fcYSh4qu-zYNIJr9XuWCrqJtM6tSVmGynCjhXyP_1G1oivIrFRa/s1600/dropbox-uploader1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dropbox uploader" border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif6cXrIHioSs9cD4KYBEplozcWQMlvo3sVA4SLBfGvpf8o2XhNw3xN8VbxG-4UwdBpyRUXQnT2VSBnB0_fNn3yRocP-fcYSh4qu-zYNIJr9XuWCrqJtM6tSVmGynCjhXyP_1G1oivIrFRa/s320/dropbox-uploader1.png" title="Dropbox uploader" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnn4y6fq3Um33pGz0P5MPDfjR8wva60tSPBa8M3j-YdpVhbTyjY1Drlaf6AE_TskDbGGVCSlkm7-pWBp-rbsN687KSPS7Yqgytz-82Cdc4Ursvb62SWvvtqyaquScwjKnZqL2Y0MnTWSSl/s1600/dropbox-uploader2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnn4y6fq3Um33pGz0P5MPDfjR8wva60tSPBa8M3j-YdpVhbTyjY1Drlaf6AE_TskDbGGVCSlkm7-pWBp-rbsN687KSPS7Yqgytz-82Cdc4Ursvb62SWvvtqyaquScwjKnZqL2Y0MnTWSSl/s320/dropbox-uploader2.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />To see all the available options, simply run the script:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>./dropbox_uploader.sh</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Supported Dropbox commands at the time I'm writing this post: upload, download, delete, mkdir, list, share, info and unlink:</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKWvqbbBBLU95O6xsVL8g42kVytkk7gQv7iZLLYCnrCSffc-g-E0hpWYeeL3EOZOawsnFbLR9l0Iq0KQ2A-JrZIbkLwcncHhBMptmFwuB0mob5FzM60KRZsg0Bup79jFbydQr75FR7Jjz/s1600/dropbox-uploader3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dropbox uploader" border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKWvqbbBBLU95O6xsVL8g42kVytkk7gQv7iZLLYCnrCSffc-g-E0hpWYeeL3EOZOawsnFbLR9l0Iq0KQ2A-JrZIbkLwcncHhBMptmFwuB0mob5FzM60KRZsg0Bup79jFbydQr75FR7Jjz/s320/dropbox-uploader3.png" title="Dropbox uploader" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Download Dropbox Uploader</h2><br /><b>You can download Dropbox Uploader from <a href="https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader">GitHub</a> - here's a <a href="https://raw.github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader/master/dropbox_uploader.sh">direct link</a> to the script.</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">To make it easier, you can copy/paste the following commands to download Dropbox Uploader in your home folder, install curl and make the script executable (the first command will install curl in Debian-based Linux distributions, required for using Dropbox Uploader and since we're installing it, we'll use it to download the script too):</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo apt-get install curl<br />cd && curl -O https://raw.github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader/master/dropbox_uploader.sh<br />chmod +x dropbox_uploader.sh</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>Thanks to Adam for the tip!</i></div>

Even though Sublime Text is not free, up until now, users could evaluate it for an unlimited period of time which basically meant you didn't really had to buy it unless you wanted to support the developer.

Upgrade To Gvfs With MTP Support In Ubuntu 12.10 Or 12.04 To Easily Connect Android 4.0+ Devices

<div style="text-align: justify;">Like I was telling you <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/unity-changes-ubuntu-1304-raring.html">a while back</a>, <b>Gvfs has been <a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/gvfs/+changelog">updated</a> in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, bringing a new MTP backend which allows users to access Android 4.0 devices which do not support the USB Mass Storage</b> protocol, along with many other changes. Since it's unlikely for the latest Gvfs (1.15.2) to be backported to older Ubuntu releases, <b>you can use a PPA which has the latest Gvfs MTP backend backported to Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10</b>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV43Yvd3kNguujnRm16bgqvUfIV_rWJiPJ5gFheAdE0MaeLBTdk6PjmLohzwS296TlJkjyDobQ3f9Y-lsfqfH5mQoJ62Lc7DBe1ig9DrDPIIBz9qfIKYOyGC8x7qHE_RZTUg2SSW1-rRPx/s1600/android-gvfs-mtp.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Android 4.0+ gvfs Ubuntu" border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV43Yvd3kNguujnRm16bgqvUfIV_rWJiPJ5gFheAdE0MaeLBTdk6PjmLohzwS296TlJkjyDobQ3f9Y-lsfqfH5mQoJ62Lc7DBe1ig9DrDPIIBz9qfIKYOyGC8x7qHE_RZTUg2SSW1-rRPx/s320/android-gvfs-mtp.png" title="Android 4.0+ gvfs Ubuntu" width="320" /></a></div></div><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We've already covered a way to connect Android 4.0 devices that don't support UMS to Ubuntu, using <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html">Go-Mtpfs</a>, but that requires to mount the Android device manually. If you upgrade to the backported packages in this PPA, you'll get seamless MTP support so when you connect an Android 4.0 device via USB, it should automatically show up in Nautilus (or Thunar, it should work with it too) without having to manually mount it. You'll also be able to unmount it from Nautilus.<br /><br />I've tested the packages on Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 with my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 4.2.1) and Gvfs has worked as expected (with some minor issues though, see below) and I was able to transfer files to my Android 4.2.1 phone.<br /><br />Also, the packages were <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/112555004333838485342/posts/TLWjkGzDCFs">tested</a> by WebUpd8 reader Bhaismachine (thank you!) in Ubuntu 12.10 using a Nexus 4 and he reported that the device showed up in Nautilus and further more, it seemed faster than before.<br /><br /><b>Issues:</b> transferring music using Rhythmbox or Clementine didn't work in my test (including in Ubuntu 13.04 - I've reported the bug <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1108104">HERE</a>), but <a href="http://i.imgur.com/P1tycS3.png">it did work</a> with Clementine for Bhaismachine. So this part doesn't seem too reliable for now. Also, by default the image thumbnails are not displayed in Nautilus - <b>to enable image thumbnails</b>, open the Nautilus preferences and on the "Preview" tab, select "Always" for "Show thumbnails" under "Other Previewable Files".<br /><br />for some reason, there are no thumbnails for images on the Android device in Nautilus and the images can't be opened directly from the device but copying and viewing them on the computer works. These issues aren't Ubuntu 12.10 or 12.04 specific and they even occur in Ubuntu 13.04.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In other related news, the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly has added an option for switching between UMS and MTP/PTP mode (<i>System Settings > Storage</i>), so you can now mount Android devices via USB mass storage in Ubuntu. That means you won't need Gvfs with MTP support if you're using the latest CM nightly.</div><br /><br /><h2>Upgrade Gvfs in Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 to get Android 4.0 support for devices which don't support USB Mass Storage interface</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The packages in this PPA may be unstable. Use the PPA at your own risk! There are instructions on how to revert the changes at the bottom of the post.</b></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1.</b> <b>To add the Gvfs (and libmtp) PPA created by the Gvfs MTP backend developer in Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp<br />sudo apt-get update</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.

Then, if you don't already have covers for all your albums, the first thing you should do is to right click "CoverArt" in the left Rhythmbox sidebar and select "Download all the covers"; the plugin will now try to find and automatically download covers for all your albums. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now try the CoverArt Browser Rhythmbox plugin and if something isn't the way you like it, go to<i> Edit > Plugins</i>, look for CoverArt Browser, then click Preferences - here, you can tweak the plugin settings: enable/disable displaying album info under cover (and change its font size), change or disable cover drop shadow, change cover size, change toolbar position and more.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install CoverArt Browser Rhythmbox plugin in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To install CoverArt Browser Rhythmbox plugin in Ubuntu 12.10 or 12.04, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/rhythmbox-plugins<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-plugin-coverart-browser</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I've tested the plugin and it works in Ubuntu 13.04 too, but there are no PPA packages for this Ubuntu version yet; you can, however, install it in Raring by adding the PPA using the above command and then editing the <i>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fossfreedom-rhythmbox-plugins-raring.list</i> file and replacing "raring" with "quantal".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the same PPA as CoverArt Browser, you'll find many other Rhythmbox plugins, including an equalizer, an enhanced last.fm plugin more, so check out: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/rhythmbox-third-party-plugins-ubuntu-ppa.html">Rhythmbox Third-Party Plugins Ubuntu PPA</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Arch Linux</b> users can install Rhythmbox CoverArt Browser plugin via <a class="external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=63246">AUR</a>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For other Linux distributions, see the CoverArt Browser <a href="https://github.com/fossfreedom/coverart-browser">GitHub page</a> for instructions.</b></div>
