Linux – Get the available space of Dropbox using Linux command line

centoscommand linedropboxlinux

I'm using CentOS. Is there a way to get the unused space in my Dropbox account using the command line?

Best Answer

You can use the Dropbox API to get your current usage. Download the Python SDK (and make sure you have Python installed). In the examples folder of the SDK there is a cli_client.py. Edit that file with your developer keys and then use the "account_info" command to see your usage.

Use filestatus:

dropbox filestatus /path/to/file

The easiest way is probably just to rename the dropbox folders:

killall dropbox
mv ~/Dropbox ~/Dropbox-user1
mv ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-user1

Then restart dropbox and set up the new account.

Then you could have a small script that switched between the two by stopping, renameing and starting dropbox.
