Dropbox plugin

[rhukster]

I would love to have a dropbox plugin to sync data. There are several key things to consider:

1. webhook to automatically trigger a sync process
2. manual method to start sync process
3. sync from dropbox to grav
4. sync from grav to dropbox

Hey,
kirby got a sort of solution for using their flat file cms with dropbox. See http://www.getkirby.com/blog/kirby-meets-dropbox perhaps this could get you more closer to what you want.
Perhaps ifTTT would be able to handle this too? (just a guess)

What the Kirby solution is doing there is really not doing anything at all. It's just putting the onus on the developer to install DropBox server and then set it all up, then just symlink in kirby so it gets picked up.

The same procedures could be followed and just substitute Grav for Kirby and it would work fine too.

I was hoping we could do a more integrated solution. One that didn't require the installation of DropBox server, but rather relied on the DropBox APIs. I've not thoroughly investigated the feasibility of this yet though.

Going off of what @rhukster said, I have tried to create a Dropbox plugin for Grav 👍
It is still very untested and is probably written very badly, so I would love some feedback!

Cheers!

This would be really cool. If you guys decide to go down this path, it would be cool to add support for box.com and google drive as well. Perhaps, it would be pertinent to have an Oauth plugin, that could connect any Oath 1.x or 2.x API, and then build plugins that require that plugin that would utilize the connection with libraries built for the specific API in question? Just a thought.
