Anyone know how to migrate dropn900 to api 1? I tried tinkering with py files, but it's too much for me 
And i'd really like to be able to use dropbox on my n900... Yes, yes, i know... I should've installed it earlier, but only recently i've got a need to use it... So... Anyone has any ideas?

Over the last few weeks i ported DropN900 to the new dropbox API
Warning
This may destroy your dropbox or mess up your N900 root file system. Use it at your own risk, make a backup if you want to be safe.
I didn't destroy my dropbox or N900 root filesystem with it so far.
Update
30-06-13
Version 0.2.2
20-05-13
Version 0.2.1
05-05-13
Version 0.2.0
03-05-13
Installing
Authentication
The new dropbox API uses a different approach for authentication. You have to grant DropN900 access to your dropbox via the dropbox website.
When you start DropN900 you will see the following window:
The "Take me to authentication page" button is grayed out until DropN900 has generated a request token with the dropbox api. Press the button and log into your dropbox account in the browser and give DropN900 access to your dropbox.
After closing the browser window, press the "Request auth token" button:
After that DropN900 receives an access token and logs into your dropbox account. That access token is stored until you press the "Reset Current Authentication" button in the settings window.

Update
30-06-13
Version 0.2.2
- Fixed bug: Syncing was not possible when dropbox contains empty files (thx to new_guy)
- Filenames with non-ascii characters are now supported, old dropbox api did only allow ascii-chars
20-05-13
Version 0.2.1
- updated dropn900.0.2.1.tar.gz
- Added a context menu for the tree view:
- Added Dropbox V1 API share functionality:
- Pressing the "share" menu entry will create a share and copy a link to the shared file/folder to the clipboard
- Removed the "create public link" and "open public link" buttons (old, disfunct Dropbox V0 API)
05-05-13
Version 0.2.0
- dropn900.2.0.0.tar.gz updated
- Removed previously introduced bug which made file downloading impossible
03-05-13
- I found the "button with no text bug"!
- If you used DropN900 with the old api, make sure that the sync path is /, not /dropn900, or sync will fail. Save settings before sync.
- Updated the two tar archives attached to this post
- Buffer size for https requests in dropbox api increased from 1KB to 16KB.
Installing
- Install the old DropN900 from the repos/application manager
- Make sure you have this 2 packages installed: python-setuptools, python-openssl
- Download the attached files dropn900.0.2.2.tar.gz and dp_api_v1.tar.gz to /home/user/MyDocs
- You will need dp_api_v1.tar.gz even if you already have installed the files from the Dropbox Python SDK because i had to modifiy the API. Ancient N900 python has no ssl module, so I ported the API to use OpenSSL.
- start xterm and do sudo gainroot
- Untar dropn900.0.2.2.tar.gz into /opt/dropn900:
Code:tar -xvzf MyDocs/dropn900.0.2.2.tar.gz -C /opt/dropn900
- Untar dp_api_v1.tar.gz into /opt/pymaemo/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dropbox:
Code:tar -xvzf MyDocs/dp_api_v1.tar.gz -C /opt/pymaemo/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dropbox

After that DropN900 receives an access token and logs into your dropbox account. That access token is stored until you press the "Reset Current Authentication" button in the settings window.
Bugs
- Deleting the root folder does not work. Did this work with the old DropN900?
- (The button in the settings menu for choosing the synchronization folder does not show any text for me. Did it show the folder path in the old DropN900?) <-Solved
- Files in deleted and recreated folders can not be downloaded, removed or renamed
- Please report any bugs you find. I never used DropN900 with the old api, so please report anything that doesn't work as in the old version.

memeces: Thx for your screenshot. But i mean the button for choosing the remote folder. Have a look at the first post of this thread, third picture.
I'll have a look at this issue on weekend. Hopefully i'll get ready to put a new version of dropn900 into extras/devel on weekend, too.

Marshall Banana. All right. I was not getting any text on that button. But I cannot send you a screenshot because I have already installed your upgrading. Now it connects to the DropBox server and reads the files there but the synchronization is not working. It never ends. Looking at the log file I get a never ending list of errors, always with the dollowing message:
[SYNC ERROR]: Error parsing path in SyncResult.check_local_path()
Does anybody have a suggestion?
As an alternative for DropBox I have tried Ubuntu One, but the programs for the N900 do not allow for synchronization, as far as I know.

memeces: thx for testing.
Please try the following:
Check the file /home/user/.dropn900/settings.ini, it should be something like this:
[download]
default-folder = /home/user/MyDocs/DropN900/
no-dialog = true
[automated-sync]
only-sync-on-wlan = false
update-interval = 10
sync-path = /
enabled = false
[authentication]
store-auth = true
Next: Start DropN900 and open the settings window. Set a local path, e. g. /home/user/MyDocs/DropN900. Under synchronizing press the button with no text, which we already talked about, and select the root folder /. Store the settings and check the settings.ini file again.
If your settings are correct and you still cannot sync plz report back and i'll make a dropn900 version with extended logging.

I needed to install two additional packages to make this work:
python-setuptools
python-openssl
After that, though, it worked just fine.

I did not succeed installing the two python packages. I am not very familiar with Linux commands. With what I tried I got the following error messages:
Code:
~ $ sudo gainroot Root shell enabled BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /home/user # apt-get install python-setuptools Reading package lists... Error! E: Problem parsing dependency Depends E: Error occurred while processing libqtm-12 (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle_free_binary-armel_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. /home/user # /home/user # apt-get install python-openssl Reading package lists...

But there's some changes in authentication API. New user might have problems. If I can manage some time I'll research on it.
Anyone interested can check these links I thought useful.
