<h1 id="dropbox-synchronization-service">Dropbox Synchronization Service</h1>

<p>This service will synchronize files on the openHAB server, such as configuration and log files, to and/or from a Dropbox account.</p>

<p>The main use case is backing up openHAB configuration and log files
to a version-able cloud space and transporting changed files back to openHAB
after editing them with the openHAB Designer on the administrator’s desktop PC.</p>

<h2 id="service-configuration">Service Configuration</h2>

<p>This service can be configured in the file <code class="highlighter-rouge">services/dropbox.cfg</code>.</p>

<p>* In order to authenticate with Dropbox, the configuration must include
<strong>either</strong> the <code class="highlighter-rouge">personalAccessToken</code> or <strong>BOTH</strong> the <code class="highlighter-rouge">appkey</code> AND the
<code class="highlighter-rouge">appsecret</code>.</p>

<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">personalAccessToken</code> is the newer method of authentication, and is
a simpler process, but the <code class="highlighter-rouge">appkey</code>/<code class="highlighter-rouge">appsecret</code> method would theoretically
work if configured.</p>

<p>If all three properties are defined in the configuration, the
<code class="highlighter-rouge">personalAccessToken</code> method will be used and the others ignored.</p>

<h2 id="dropbox-app">Dropbox App</h2>

<p>An app must be created on Dropbox.</p>

<h3 id="creating-an-app">Creating an app</h3>

<ul>
  <li>Create an account in <a href="http://www.dropbox.com">Dropbox</a></li>
  <li>Navigate to the <a href="http://www.dropbox.com/developers">developer section of the site</a></li>
  <li>Click the “My apps” link in the left navigation menu, then click the “Create app” button</li>
  <li>In the next screen, select “Dropbox API” in step 1</li>
  <li>Select “Full Dropbox” in step 2 (This is probably not critical, as “App folder” may also work, but this has not been tested)</li>
  <li>Choose a name for your app in step 3 and click “Create app”</li>
  <li>The following screen will summarize your app; verify the “Allow implicit grant” setting is set to “Allow”</li>
  <li>Under the heading that says “Generated access token”, click the “Generate” button to generate an access token that openHAB can use to connect with your app</li>
  <li>Copy the long code string that is generated and paste it into the openHAB configuration file as the value for the <code class="highlighter-rouge">personalAccessToken</code> setting shown above</li>
</ul>

<p><a href="http://www.iperiusbackup.net/en/create-dropbox-app-get-authentication-token/">This tutorial</a>
also contains a video of the process.</p>

<h2 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2>

<p>Installations that used the Dropbox Synchronization Service in earlier versions
of openHAB may encounter this error:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>[WARN ] [d.internal.DropboxSynchronizer] - Synchronizing data with Dropbox throws an exception: {“error”: “Invalid "cursor" parameter: this cursor is for a different app.”}</p>
</blockquote>

<p>To eliminate this error, delete the <code class="highlighter-rouge">deltacursor.dbx</code> file. It should be in the same folder as the openHAB startup scripts.</p>

<h2 id="authentication-via-appkeyappsecret">Authentication via appkey/appsecret</h2>

<p>This is a three-step process. openHAB requests a token which is used as a
one-time-password to obtain an access token which will be used for all future
requests to Dropbox.</p>

<h3 id="step-1-monitor-log-for-authorization-message">Step 1: Monitor Log for Authorization Message</h3>

<p>The following message will be sent to the log on first startup:</p>

<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code> #########################################################################################
 # Dropbox-Integration: U S E R   I N T E R A C T I O N   R E Q U I R E D !!
 # 1. Open URL 'https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/_type=code'
 # 2. Allow openHAB to access Dropbox
 # 3. Paste the authorisation code here using the command 'dropbox:finishAuthentication "&lt;token&gt;"'
 #########################################################################################
</code></pre></div></div>

<h3 id="step-2-obtain-authorization-token">Step 2: Obtain Authorization Token</h3>

<p>Copy the given URL to your browser and authorize openHAB to use Dropbox in
the future. Be aware that the request token is only valid for the next five
minutes.</p>

<p>After successful authorization, a token is shown on the Dropbox web page:</p>

<p><img src="https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/wiki/images/screenshots/dropbox-authorization.png" alt="" /></p>

<h3 id="step-3-save-token-in-openhab-console">Step 3: Save Token in openHAB Console</h3>

<p>Access the openHAB console to reach the <code class="highlighter-rouge">openhab&gt;</code> prompt.  One way you can
access the openHAB 2 console:</p>

<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>ssh openhab@localhost -p 8101
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>The default password is <code class="highlighter-rouge">habopen</code>.  If this is the first time accessing your
console, it may take some time to generate cryptographic keys.</p>

<p>Copy the token shown on the Dropbox web page and issue the following command:</p>

<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>dropbox:finishAuthentication "replace with the token"
</code></pre></div></div>
