How do I upload file using Python
I've checked here and over at StackOverflow but couldn't find a solution. Nothing works.
It says that I need refresh token (I have no clue where to get it) and an app key.
import pathlib
import dropbox
dropbox_access_token="my_token"
app_key="my_app_key"
folder = pathlib.Path(".")
filename = "img.jpg"
filepath = folder / filename
target = "/app_folder_dropbox/"
targetfile = target + filename
d = dropbox.Dropbox(dropbox_access_token, app_key=app_key)
with filepath.open("rb") as f:
meta = d.files_upload(f.read(), targetfile, mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode("overwrite"))
Is there simple Python script that lets you upload an image to Dropbox?

pkd No, you need to use the OAuth app authorization flow to get a refresh token. Dropbox doesn't offer another way of getting a refresh token.
If you only need this for your own account though, you could run that manually once, e.g., as shown in this example using curl. (The use of redirect_uri is actually optional so you can just omit that parameter.)
