DropBox Cloud Storage Webhook and Sample Apps

Advertisement

DropBox Cloud Storage is quite flexible, has Drop-ins, Datastore API, Sync API, Core API. Here are some examples to get started. As we know, for closed source platforms, the only way to develop is to approach via the SDK way and read the API guides. What we want to tell the new developers should be very clear – it is quite interesting to work with DropBox but as DropBox is itself closed source, unlike OpenStack Swift – one must not waste a huge time behind developing DropBox Dependent Apps.

 

Basics of DropBox Cloud Storage Webhook

 

Some of the API responses over HTTP can be tested with our great tool for OS X – CocoaRestClient. You can install nautilus-dropbox on your Ubuntu desktop or Server :

# add source
echo 'deb http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu saucy main'>>'dropbox.list'
# chmod and chown
chmod 644 'dropbox.list'
sudo chown root:root 'dropbox.list'
# move or copy
sudo mv 'dropbox.list' '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list'
# add the key to get validated via apt-get
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5044912E
# install dependencies
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0
# update and upgrade
sudo apt-get update && upgrade
# last command to install
sudo apt-get install dropbox

You can create SVN repo in this way :

cd ~Dropbox
mkdir SVNRepo
cd SVNRepo
# note the name
svnadmin create .
# you can use any SVN client to create repository
# example
mkdir ~MyCode
cd MyCode
svn checkout file:///~Dropbox/SVNRepo
mkdir trunk
mkdir branches
mkdir tags
svn commit -m "Initial setup (committing trunk, branches, tags)"
svn checkout file:///~Dropbox/SVNRepo/trunk

This is advanced usage but not actually Dropbox Specific – you’ll not get vendor lock-in. You’ll get the pure Webhook tuts here :
