A Dropbox Storage for your Django apps

A Dropbox Storage for your Django apps

What

django-dropbox-storage allows Django apps to use Dropbox as a storage backend for file uploading.

Installing

First things first:

$ pip install django-dropbox-storage

Then open the settings.py of your project and include it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_dropbox_storage',
    ...
)

If you want to use django_dropbox_storage as default storage for all file uploads, you need to adjust DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE too:

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'django_dropbox_storage.storage.DropboxStorage'

If you just want to use it on a single model field, you can simply import it:

from django_dropbox_storage.storage import DropboxStorage

DROPBOX_STORAGE = DropboxStorage()

photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='photos', storage=DROPBOX_STORAGE ...)

In order to let it work properly, you must set the next settings:

DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN = 'xxx'

If you don't have DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN you can create one after creating a Dropbox app at Dropbox for Developers. If you have your Dropbox App key and App secret, you can set DROPBOX_CONSUMER_KEY and DROPBOX_CONSUMER_SECRET settings in settings.py, then run:

$ python manage.py get_dropbox_token [--settings=test_settings]

And follow up on screen instructions, finally set the DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET in your settings.py module.

You can also set default root folder setting the value of DROPBOX_ROOT_FOLDER:

DROPBOX_ROOT_FOLDER = '/Public'

By default it's set to '/' (root folder).

Tests

Tests are written following Django's best practices.

In order to run them, you need to set DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN properly.

NOTE: if you're testing this package as stand-alone, you can set the access token in a local_settings.py module put in the root folder.

To launch the test suite:

$ python manage.py test [--settings=test_settings]

To check the unit tests coverage you can:

$ pip install coverage
$ coverage run manage.py test [--settings=test_settings]
$ coverage report -m
