how can i upload saved or webcam images and videos on dropbox from python?

Hey,

Here is the the code for uploading live videos on your dropbox account using python in windows.

import numpy as np
import cv2
import dropbox
import os
from glob import iglob

access_token = 'paste your access token here'   #paste your access token in-between ''
client = dropbox.client.DropboxClient(access_token)
print 'linked account: ', client.account_info()
PATH = ''

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

# Define the codec and create VideoWriter object
fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'XVID')
out = cv2.VideoWriter('C:\python27\output1.avi',fourcc, 20.0, (640,480))

#here output1.avi is the filename in which your video which is captured from webcam is stored. and it resides in C:\python27 as per the path is given.

while(cap.isOpened()):
ret, frame = cap.read()
if ret==True:
#frame = cv2.flip(frame,0) #if u want to flip your video

# write the (unflipped or flipped) frame
out.write(frame)

cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
else:
break

# Release everything if job is finished
cap.release()
out.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

for filename in iglob(os.path.join(PATH, 'C:/Python27/output1.avi')):
print filename
try:
f = open(filename, 'rb')
response = client.put_file('/livevideo1.avi', f)
print "uploaded:", response
f.close()
#os.remove(filename)
except Exception, e:
print 'Error %s' % e

Hope this will  help you.
