Using the Dropbox API
Full documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/
Before your app can access a Dropbox user's files, the user must authorize your
application using OAuth 2. Successfully completing this authorization flow
gives you an "access token" for the user's Dropbox account, which grants you the
ability to make Dropbox API calls to access their files.
Once you have an access token, create a DropboxClient instance and start making
API calls.
You only need to perform the authorization process once per user. Once you have
an access token for a user, save it somewhere persistent, like in a database.
The next time that user visits your app, you can skip the authorization process
and go straight to making API calls.
Running the Examples
There are example programs included in the tarball. Before you can run an
example, you need to edit the ".rb" file and put your Dropbox API app key and
secret in the "APP_KEY" and "APP_SECRET" constants.
