This skill provides a CLI to upload, download, search, and manage Dropbox files with automatic OAuth token refresh. It reads and writes ~/.config/atlas/dropbox.env, requires DROPBOX_APP_KEY, DROPBOX_APP_SECRET, DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN, DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN, and makes network calls to https://api.dropboxapi.com and https://content.dropboxapi.com.

Installation

Setup

1. Create Dropbox App

  1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps
  2. Create app → Scoped access → Full Dropbox
  3. Enable permissions: files.metadata.read/write, files.content.read/write

2. Get Tokens

Run the OAuth flow (one-time):

# Generate auth URL
python3 -c "
import urllib.parse
APP_KEY = 'your_app_key'
params = {'client_id': APP_KEY, 'response_type': 'code', 'token_access_type': 'offline'}
print('https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?' + urllib.parse.urlencode(params))
"

# Exchange code for tokens
curl -X POST "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token" \
  -d "code=AUTH_CODE" \
  -d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
  -d "client_id=APP_KEY" \
  -d "client_secret=APP_SECRET"

3. Configure

Create ~/.config/atlas/dropbox.env:

DROPBOX_APP_KEY=your_app_key
DROPBOX_APP_SECRET=your_app_secret
DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=sl.xxx
DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN=xxx

Usage

# List files
dropbox.py ls "/path/to/folder"

# Download
dropbox.py download "/remote/file.pdf"
