Dropbox Overview#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs"; import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs"; export default { ...common, dedupe: "unique", type: "source", key: "dropbox-all-updates", name: "New or Modified File or Folder", version: "0.0.19", description: "Emit new event when a file or folder is added or modified. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 4000.", props: { ...common.props, includeMediaInfo: { label: "Include Media Info", type: "boolean", description: "Emit media info for photo and video files (incurs an additional API call)", default: false, }, includeLink: { label: "Include Link", type: "boolean", description: "Emit temporary download link for files (incurs an additional API call)", default: false, }, }, hooks: { async activate() { await this.getHistoricalEvents(this.getFileTypes()); const state = await this.dropbox.initState(this); this._setDropboxState(state); }, }, methods: { ...common.methods, getFileTypes() { return [ "file", "folder", ]; }, }, async run() { const state = this._getDropboxState(); const { ret: updates, state: newState, } = await this.dropbox.getUpdates(this, state); this._setDropboxState(newState); for (let update of updates) { let file = { ...update, }; const fileTypes = this.getFileTypes(); if (!fileTypes.includes(file[".tag"])) { continue; } if (this.includeMediaInfo && file[".tag"] === "file") { file = await this.getMediaInfo(update); } if (this.includeLink && file[".tag"] === "file") { file.link = await this.getTemporaryLink(update); } // new unique identification from merging the file id and the last file revision const id = update[".tag"] === "file" ? `${file.id}-${file.rev}` : `${file.id}-${newState.cursor}`; this.$emit(file, this.getMeta(id, file.path_display || file.id)); } }, sampleEmit, };

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Dropbox	`dropbox`	`app`	This component uses the Dropbox app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Path	`path`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Recursive	`recursive`	`boolean`	Also watch sub-directories and their contents.
	`dropboxApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`
Include Media Info	`includeMediaInfo`	`boolean`	Emit media info for photo and video files (incurs an additional API call)
Include Link	`includeLink`	`boolean`	Emit temporary download link for files (incurs an additional API call)

Trigger Authentication#

Dropbox uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Dropbox account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Dropbox and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Dropbox API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

DigitalOcean Spaces Overview#

DigitalOcean Spaces API permits you to manage object storage, allowing for the storage and serving of massive amounts of data. This API is great for backing up, archiving, and providing public access to data or assets. On Pipedream, you can use this API to automate file operations like uploads, downloads, and deletions, as well as manage permissions and metadata. You can integrate it with other services for end-to-end workflow automation.

Action Code#

import common from "../../common/common-s3.mjs"; import base from "../../../aws/actions/s3-upload-base64-as-file/s3-upload-base64-as-file.mjs"; export default { ...common, ...base, type: "action", key: "digitalocean_spaces-upload-file-base64", name: "Upload File Base64", description: "Accepts a base64-encoded string and a filename, then uploads as a file to DigitalOcean Spaces. [See the docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/upload-objects.html).", version: "1.0.1", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, props: { ...common.props, filename: base.props.filename, data: base.props.data, }, async run({ $ }) { const { uploadFile, bucket, filename, data, acl, contentType, metadata, } = this; const response = await uploadFile({ Bucket: bucket, Key: filename, Body: Buffer.from(data, "base64"), ...(acl && { ACL: acl, }), ...(contentType && { ContentType: contentType, }), ...(metadata && { Metadata: metadata, }), }); $.export("$summary", `Uploaded file ${filename} to S3`); return response; }, };

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.
