cern-fts / gfal2-dropbox Goto Github PK

Hi Alejandro,

I couldn't find the Dropbox plugin at https://gitlab.cern.ch/groups/dmc, so I post the issue/suggestion here. A few days ago, the new dropbox API v2 was finally released.
https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/11/dropbox-api-v2-launches-today/

I think there's not that much to do in order to adapt the changes.

Besides, I cannot get the gfal python bindings working for the dropbox plugin. I use

ctx.set_opt_string("DROPBOX", "APP_KEY", str(appKey))
ctx.set_opt_string("DROPBOX", "APP_SECRET", str(appSecret))
ctx.set_opt_string("DROPBOX", "ACCESS_TOKEN", str(accessToken))
# no more access token secrets in oauth2
#ctx.set_opt_string("DROPBOX", "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET", str(accessTokenSecret))

to add the auth data to the transfer parameters. When creating an "App" in Dropbox, it automatically uses oauth2 authentication which hasn't ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET's anymore (https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs), which leads to errors thrown by https://github.com/cern-it-sdc-id/gfal2-dropbox/blob/c8f7dc418e401e9cc3c0715575e266751081e6cd/src/gfal_dropbox_oauth.c#L45

Could you provide a minimal example showing the dropbox plugin usage in python? I'd really appreciate that =)
