hq6 / vim-dropbox Goto Github PK

This is a fork of the NetRw project which allows vim to support URL's of the type dbx:///Path/Inside/Dropbox.

At the moment, it supports only reading files, creating files, and browsing directories. It cannot perform file deletions or renames.

Here is a demo video showing the expected behavior.

Installation is currently manual, but should not be too difficult for users versed in the ways of the shell.

1. Install the Dropbox Python SDK if you do not already have it installed.

2. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps and create a new app with any name.

3. Click into the App's settings page and click on the Generate button under the label Generated Access Token.

4. Copy this token and replace the string INSERT_TOKEN_HERE in the file bin/dbx.py with the token.

5. Run the make install from this directory, which will simply append a line to your .vimrc and .bashrc files to enable this plugin.

If you run into any trouble with these steps, please open an issue on GitHub or contact the author out-of-band.
