[Kindle] Dropbox integration for Kindle

[eschwartz]

Do not use bash or sh, just use the uploader script itself -- ./dropbox_uploader.sh

As per standard unix script design, it includes a shebang that points at the bundled bash binary.
This is necessary because unix does not include the currentdir in your PATH -- so when you used "bash" it resolved to /usr/bin/bash which is part of busybox which breaks hard.

Also note -- awkward typing unless you make the config files from a computer. usbnetwork+ssh should work, so should running on a linux PC then copying over to the Kindle.

brianinmaine -- why must users create an app? You can publicly release one so people only need to authenticate an account.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply @eschwartz, I finally used "./ " instead of "bash .... " and it worked

One more question though, this way I can download added files from dropbox folder, but when I remove an item of course it doesnt "SYNC" and remove the same file from Kindle too.

Anybody managed to do that? ( sync bidirectionally? )

Thanks a lot

You could add that function yourself? This is all just a few scripts pretty easy to modify to your liking... Try some ideas and let us know exactly where the problem is?

Good luck! It's fun playing!

Also, I included a version of bash in the bin directory of the extension - maybe I got the path wrong there or something? It was a static compile from this site somewhere...

At the moment I can at least download from dropbox which makes my life much easier.
