dropbox

I use a mongodb database called 'mydb' in a local wep-app I'm developing and want to sync the db files over Dropbox, so I will have it available on all my development machines. Whenever I insert some new data in the database, the files 'mydb.0' and 'mydb.ns' don't seem to change. So Dropbox doesn't sync anything. Any ideas here? I know this might sound like a horrible idea, but I'm the only database user and I never run the database on more than one machine at a time. Also I don't share the files with anyone else. It's just to take care that I can continue on another machine exactly where I

Often in "restricted security" situations in which programs can't be installed on a computer I run R from a flash drive. Works like a charm. I've recently started using dropbox and was thinking it could be used in a similar fashion to the flash drive. For anyone who has tried this does it work? I can test it myself but don't want to go to the bother if it's a dead end. Thanks in advance. PS this has the advantage of storing an .Rprofile that people whom you share the dropbox folder with can then run your R code. This is particularly nice for people unfamiliar with R. It should just work. R is

I'm adding Dropbox to my app using the SDK available on their site. Is there any way of calling some method once [[DBSession sharedSession] linkFromController:self]; links with an account? Basically I'd like to call [self.tableView reloadData] once the app has tried to log in to Dropbox. It doesn't even need to discriminate between a successful or unsuccessful login. The Dropbox SDK uses your AppDelegate as callback reciever. So when you have called [[DBSession sharedSession] linkFromController:self]; the Dropbox SDK will in any case call your AppDelegate's – application:openURL

This is related to another question I recently asked about storing a non-bare repository in Dropbox for easy movement between computers, so it may be helpful to read that question for background. The gist is that the fileMode keeps reporting a diff for some number of files. I can't find a way to reproduce it consistently, but it happens frequently. What I've noticed is that the file, which has 644 permissions on both machines often reports a diff from 755 on one of the machines. This makes me think that Git believes the executable bit is set, but I can't figure out whether I can actually see

I am a beginner to iOS development and have just started working with the DropBox SDK for iphone, I am currently using the MacOSX 10.6 version having the Xcode 3.2.5 on it(the simulator is 4.2). Using UIImagePickerController, I could display a selected image on the UIImageView. Now if I want to upload that particular image using DropBox SDK, I have to know its path on my application, as the following code is applied - (void)uploadFile:(NSString*)filename toPath:(NSString*)path fromPath:(NSString *)sourcePath this method is defined in DBRestClient.h, a library file from the DropBox SDK for iOS.

I would like to create a PHP script to backup files from a particular directory on my website to my Dropbox account. I tried to search for examples and how to work around it but I only found code to backup databases or to buy ready made solutions. This is the code I tried <?php $passw = "jason"; //change this to a password of your choice. if ($_POST) { require 'DropboxUploader.php'; try { // Rename uploaded file to reflect original name if ($_FILES['file']['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) throw new Exception('File was not successfully uploaded from your computer.'); $tmpDir = uniqid('/tmpCapes/');

I've written a simple piece of code using Dropbox API, which implies usage of APP_KEY and APP_SECRET of my app. Let's suppose someone wants to use my app too. I create a github repo, push the code and so on, but, of course, I don't put APP_KEY and APP_SECRET values . Do users have to register their own instances of this application? Is there another way to deal? Maybe sharing APP_KEY and APP_SECRET is enough secure to let it be that way? In other words, Dropbox prohibits usage of username-password pair for authenticating (while their own official app does exactly that), but I want (for example
