You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Hello everyone,
I work in video editing and regularly accumulate several large videos that I need to store on Dropbox.
Currently, I do this manually, either by right-clicking on the folder to select “store online” or by using the Dropbox icon in the menu bar on Finder to perform the same action. This can become tedious.
I would like to create a Python script that connects to the Dropbox API and runs automatically every hour. This script would simulate the “store online” action, allowing me to free up space on my computer without manual intervention.
If anyone has experience with the Dropbox API or advice on creating such a script, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance!
Dropbox StaffUnfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer an interface for programmatically managing this setting, such as to set a file to "online" or "offline", but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be offered though.
