Sorry Cyril for the late reply. Forgot my Kobo on the plane, took me a while to get it back

I found out the errors in my previous post. Multi line comments and Dropbox short lived access tokens. Here are the renewed steps from scratch:

Use this new zip file notes20250521.zip attached in this message.


🔧 Step 1: Create a Dropbox App

• Go to: Dropbox App Console
• Click "Create App"
• Choose: Scoped access and App Folder
• Set permissions: Enable these: files.content.write and files.content.read
• ✅ Save App Key and App Secret for the script!

🔑 Step 2: Get a Refresh Token (ONE-TIME manual setup)
You need to log in and approve access.

• Visit this URL in your computer browser, with your App Key:
  

  https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_APP_KEY&response_type=code&token_access_type=offline

• Log in and allow access
• It redirects to a page 'ACCESS CODE GENERATED'. Copy the code.
• Now exchange it for a refresh token using this command:
  

  curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token \
    -u YOUR_APP_KEY:YOUR_APP_SECRET \
    -d code=ACCESS_CODE_GENERATED \
    -d grant_type=authorization_code

  * If you don't have curl on your computer, you can use the curl in notes folder by telnetting to your Kobo device.
• The output will include:
  

   "refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN_HERE"

• ✅ Save this refresh_token for the script!

Sorry for being so complicated but dropbox is a headache. Hopefully it will work this time; mine works succesfully.
