upload file to my dropbox from python script
I want to upload a file from my python script to my dropbox account automatically. I can't find anyway to do this with just a user/pass. Everything I see in the Dropbox SDK is related to an app having user interaction. I just want to do something like this:
https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put//?user=me&pass=blah

Hi johnday,
In order to interact securely with the Dropbox API, you will need to create an API app to obtain an app key and app secret. An app key and secret are needed to obtain access tokens, which can then be used for secured communication with the Dropbox API.
To upload files, you will most likely be ok sending a request to the /2/files/upload endpoint. However, if the file size is over 150MiB, you will want to look at the upload session endpoints:
Feel free to review our Developer Documentation for more information, including all other available endpoints.
