Drop

[Acidham]

Uploads a file with file action "Share via Dropbox" or keyboard from selection in Finder to Dropbox and returns public download link. 

Befory you can start: 

• You need to get an Access Token from Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps). 
  
• Configure workflow variables
  
  • Access Token
    
  • Folder were the file will be stored on Dropbox
    
  
  
• Download and Install JSON Helper from the Appstore
  

Usage: Search for a file on the file action choose "Share via Dropbox". The short URL, for public download, will be stored to the Clipboard

Hi

 

How do you do this please?

 

Configure workflow variables

• Access Token
• Folder were the file will be stored on Dropbox

[Acidham]

In Alfred 3 you can open the workflow and then click on the [x] (top right corner). A dialog will pop up and you can configure both variables

Wow superb thanks.

 

Just getting started with Alfred.  Top job.

Updated to version 1.0.

Added config workflow for Dropbox Token and Target Folder

 

Thx charlie999 for the feedback

Great workflow!

 

Would it be possible to detect whether the file name already exists in the target folder (or even some adding some suffix like "-copy" to make the Dropbox upload still work)? Right now it gives an error message saying that the token is incorrect.

 

Also, the clipboard URL contains a newline at the end, could that be removed in the script?

 

[bTW, if a folder name contains a single quote, the workflow fails as well, but this is kind of a corner case.]

Fixed, Drop is now overwriting the file with the same file name
