A command line tool for doing unidirectional syncs with Dropbox folders.

Purpose

This command line tool was created for the people who do regular backups on Dropbox.

The official client has some drawbacks:

  • It forces you to put all your files inside the Dropbox directory
  • It gives you almost no control of what is being uploaded or not
  • It does bidireccional synchronization, which could be dangerous and avoidable if your only purpose is backupping your files

Install

  • Clone the repo
  • Create a link in /usr/local/bin/dxubt pointing to dxubt.js
  • Run dxubt --help to see common usages
