copy from google drive to dropbox using a batch file

[mikescano]

Hi all,

I should need to copy my google drive into dropbox, and I have to do it via scheduled batch job.

Is there a way to write a (hope simple) script?

thank you!

it could be enough even a command line to upload into dropbpox (windows)

anyone can help me?

Dropbox does offer the ability to upload files programmatically. You can use /2/files/upload to do so:

• https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload

Or, for large files, you'll need to use upload sessions:

• https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload_session-start
• https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload_session-append
• https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload_session-finish

Alternatively, if you can get Internet-access URLs for the files, you can use /2/files/save_url instead:

• https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url
• https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-save_url-check_job_status

Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:

Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.

Thank you so much Greg

do you think I can find an example (also a simple example) from which I can start?

just something to modify with my need

many thanks again for your help, appreciate

Each endpoint has a curl example in the documentation (in the links in my previous post). I recommend reviewing those and translating them for your platform as necessary.

The API v2 Explorer may also be useful in this regard:

The SDKs each also have some examples included.
