Getting Started

This project is a fastlane plugin. To get started with fastlane-plugin-publish_dropbox, add it to your project by running:

fastlane add_plugin publish_dropbox

About publish_dropbox

This plugin publishes artifacts over to Dropbox via a generated api token from Dropbox Developer API.

Note to author: Add a more detailed description about this plugin here. If your plugin contains multiple actions, make sure to mention them here.

Setting up

Note: Dropbox allows accessing their API only for authorized applications, so in order to use this plugin you must register a Dropbox app.

In order to register a Dropbox app you need to go to Dropbox Developers site and create your own app.

  1. You only need a generated token from the Dropbox API (OAuth2 token).
  2. For Fastlane you only need the app key and app secret if you don't have a token generated. You'll also have to come up with some name for the app, but this is not used by Fastlane in any way.
  3. You also don't need to apply for production state of your app, and keep it in development phase unless you make heavy use of it. Even Dropbox themselves encourage staying in development state when the app is used as an internal tool. Read more here.
  4. You start with access for one user only, but in development state you can request access for up to 500 users, which should cover most of the use cases for Fastlane integration.

Example

Basic usage

publish_dropbox(
    file_path: '/some/local-path/to/file.txt',
    dropbox_path: '/path/to/Dropbox/destination/folder',
    app_key: 'your-dropbox-app-key',
    app_secret: 'your-dropbox-app-secret'
)

The dropbox_path parameter is optional - if not provided, the file at file_path would be put in the Dropbox root directory.

Write modes

The default write_mode is add, which means that plugin will raise an error if the file already exists at the destination path. If you want to allow for overwriting, set the write_mode parameter like so:

dropbox(
    file_path: '/some/local-path/to/file.txt',
    dropbox_path: '/path/to/Dropbox/destination/folder',
    write_mode: 'overwrite',
    app_key: 'your-dropbox-app-key',
    app_secret: 'your-dropbox-app-secret'
)

For the more fine-grained overwriting you can set the update write mode, and pass the current file revision to update:

dropbox(
    file_path: '/some/local-path/to/file.txt',
    dropbox_path: '/path/to/Dropbox/destination/folder',
    write_mode: 'update',
    update_rev: 'filerevisiontoupdate',
    app_key: 'your-dropbox-app-key',
    app_secret: 'your-dropbox-app-secret'
)

The update_rev parameter is required for update write mode and ignored in other cases. Currently, if the current file revision on Dropbox doesn't match the provided revision, the plugin will fail (Dropbox API won't allow for the update).
