Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Since my N900 is my everyday phone I prefer to install with apt-get from the repos. Any word when Marshall Bananas fixes will be available from testing?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

new_guy:
Thx for your bug report, fixed.

nokiabot, biketool:
I can upload to extras-devel now. On weekend I'll try uploading the bug-fixed version.
But i think it will stay in extras-devel, because even the original developer couldn't get it into extras-testing

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

would anyone help me please i successfully installed dropn900 on my n900 device the problem is that it doesn't authenticate i tried several times putting my email and password still it doesn't work would anyone help me solve this problem i need this application to work badly.:confused:

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Do you use the version from the repos, installed with the applications manager? The version in the repos doesn't work atm because dropbox changed their api. Did you install my
modifications?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

no i couldn't find your modifications can you please email them to me at murtazalakda@outlook.com thanks in advance.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Here. <-- Click and read

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

hey this is a risky thing to do this may brick my device totally right?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Well, if you aren't familiar with using terminal commands like apt-get and tar you could break something.

I'm working at putting a working version in the repos atm, so maybe you want to wait for that.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

hey i tried it says no such file or directory while untaring it help please

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Marshall should update his post, there is new ver of .tar but terminal command is with the previous one.
You check files names (the one You have to untar), and the path to this file (where You saved it on Your device). Copy and paste the file name. If You want write here where it is on N900, You will get the exact command.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

hey i accidentally entered the second command before untaring it so my drop box won't start than i uninstalled it and still the authentication problem persists this didn't brick my device in any way right?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Relax man, You didn't brick Your device, take it easy.

Marshall wrote fast and easy "tutorial" on how to make Drop Box working on N900 now - it's all correct now (well but it's still up to You where You saved files to untar). So install DropN900 again, read instructions, enter commands, authenticate new app (I presume that You didn't get there yet), and enjoy it. When entering new command will give You an error, check it and do it again, remember to check paths to files You saved - you just placing files in folders with by untaring them to spec. location - so there is no reason to be worried.

For futher, I can advice You to install BackUp Menu - very handy, but still You have to use it with care.

Good luck.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

As the upload in extras-devel will need some more time i make a new version available here with two bugs fixed.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Hi,

I got DropN900 and authentication work fine thanks for Marshall Banana.
I have a little problem as it seems that it cannot save access token received from dropbox webpage so every time I start DropN900 client, it ask me to authenticate...Do I have some problem with permissions or is it this one 'python-setuptools' that I cannot install ?

-pakke

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Hi pakke,
please check if the folder /home/user/.dropn900 exists. Open xterm and type , it should contain 2 files: settings.ini and token.ini, you can check in xterm with .

If the folder and files are there it may be a permission problem, otherwise the problem can be caused by missing python-setuptools. I'll check it out later when im at home.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Hi again, Marshall! The package you put in extras-devel didn't install for me using regular means, because it replaces files that another package originally installed by "python-dropbox-client". It needed the --force-overwrite parameter.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

I was wondering about why DropN900 doesn't give any progress indication, percentage or anything, when up- or downloading? Is there a API-related reason or something similar to it that it can't be done or isn't plausible?

I know this isn't an app that's supposed to be used for stuff over 100MB in size, but still. Sometimes you have to transfer large files, and it's kind of a game of guessing now to know if the transfer's even still working.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Hi Raimu, also tried installing old dropn900 from repo but could not. Would you please give me the code you used to install. I do not know how to use the --force-overwrite parameter. Thanx in advance.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Thx for the hint, i'll modify the package so that it will install without --force-overwrite.

Performance improvements are next on my todo list. I'll try to speed up the syncing process with the delta function, which is provided by the new api.
About download/upload speed: Has anybody used dropn900 with the old api and can say that it's slower now? This could be the case because of the modifications i had to make to use the python OpenSSL module instead of the ssl module. I also plan to add progress bars for upload/download :)

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Look here for a working version of dropn900. You don't need the package raimu talked about atm, that package (dropbox-python-sdk) will be needed once a new version of dropn900 is in the repos

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

So i installed the app and the api after i had the repo version of dropn900.

When i first started it. It showed me the "take me to the autentication" button enabled and the other one disable. So i logged into Dropbox from the web. Then i pressed the "request authentication token" button and it showed a notification saying "Autenticating" but there was nothing happening after that and i waited for a long time. I closed the app.

I edited the settings.ini file because the sync-path was set to none. I set it to "/". I started the app, after a few moments it said i'm logged in but on the left pane of the app (where the file and folder list is supposed to be) looks empty.

Is there a way to fix that?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

What does the log window show?
Please also try to reset the authentication, maybe that will help.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

I had 0.1.9 installed and working but then it stopped starting. It crashes to desktop after a few seconds of loading. Not sure what broke it. 0.2.2 seemed to install OK but didn't fix anything. Latter also stopped DropN900 appearing in the list of shcortuts when trying to add one to a desktop?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

So i sort of fixed my previous problem with the empty dropbox window by changing the file I changed the entry to It seems to work now but it also opens a terminal window in the background and i have to be careful not to close it by mistake.

Is there any way to have that terminal window disappear, or not start at all?

Is there any way i could fix file permissions or something so that i don't have to worry about editing that .desktop file?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

i have a authenticate problem.i write email and password right but it says that it's invalid.Why?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

I have this exact same issue at the moment, I can't seem to login

Says: Email and/or Password invalid. And I've tried copy pasting stuff and also typing both the details manually and check them several times. Can't figure out what's the issue.

Kindly help

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Same here...

I registered on dropbox.com and tried to authenticate on N900, without installing any other client, but no way to do it :(

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Just found this here : https://github.com/jonnenauha/DropN900

"2013 update
===========

This was a hobby project of mine to try out Maemo5 development when I got the N900.
Since then Dropbox has deprecated the API version that this app is using, so DropN900
will no longer work (should not at least).

I don't have any plans to update to the new API due to
1) N900 is no longer my main phone
2) I don't have time for this project anymore due to work etc.

I'm sorry about this to all of the users this app gained over the years!"

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Guys, check the earlier conversations from spring-summer 2013. There's a way to make your DropN900 installations work, it just requires some effort.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Does anyone know anything about working dropbox client for maemo?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

DropN900 still works on my N900. I use it quite frequently (several times a week).

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Strange, I installed it few days ago and can't login.
Edit: I have "[Config]: No stored access token found" in log.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

After little search I found droper. It need some ui polishing but works quite good. Lacks only directory synchronization (like on pc).

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

My Dropn900 is not authenticating. I am always given a username/password Error. pls Help me with this situation.:confused:

i installed dropn900 directly through x-terminal

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
 

Please, read raimu's post in this very page.

Re: DropN900 for new dropbox API
 

Unfortunately after install....dropn900 no longer starts.

Did you extract the dp_api_v1.tar.gz correctly?
