Dropbox Output

Dropbox is a service that lets you bring all your documents in to the cloud.

Important

This module is deprecated in Lasernet Core and will not be supported in future versions of Lasernet Core.

Output

Lasernet Core can save files in a Dropbox folder.

JobInfo substitution is supported for the JobInfo ‘Filename’. An ID is used in the Dropbox backend instead of the path shown in the module, therefore the Path cannot be substituted.

Lasernet Core will always overwrite files in the same folder with the same name.

Authentication

Dropbox uses OAuth 2.0 authentication. The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables Lasernet Core to obtain limited access to Dropbox by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and Dropbox. This basically means that you need to give Lasernet Core access to your Dropbox.

Giving Lasernet Core access to a Dropbox is done by pressing the “Allow Lasernet” button, which launches a browser window where the user can log into the Dropbox account and allow Lasernet Core access to it. This action stores an encrypted token in the configuration. This token is used to regain access to the Dropbox at a later stage.

Revoking access is done via the web interface for Dropbox where it’s possible to unlink an app, in this case Formpipe Lasernet, from Dropbox.
