Can I somehow use below command for Dropbox APP authorization with Rclone (Dropbox dev apps)?
rclone config create db-20-1 dropbox client_id= XXXX client_secret= 45455
What would you do to connect 500 APPs per once and generate that big config file?
I have a list of client IDs and keys.
Thanks.
hi,
did you try the command and it failed to create a working remote?
Yes i tried, but i saw error. After few testings now connects OK with bellow command:
rclone config create db-20-1 dropbox --dropbox-client-id XXXXXXXXX --dropbox-client-secret XXXXXXXXX config_is_local= true
Only problem i see, that will token expire after 6 hours. It's somehow possible to add:
&token_access_type=offline
I need to add that through browser manually right now as workarround solution.
Thank you!
it is normal for tokens to expire after a period of time.
rclone will renew tokens on the fly
Perfect. I didn't know that. Thank you. Rclone community is a really great and helpful. 
I noticed that RCLONE config file doesn't update with Client_ID and Client_sectet It has to be added to command twice as seen below:
rclone config create db-demo dropbox client-id XXXXXX client-secret XXXXXX --dropbox-client-id XXXXXX --dropbox-client-secret XXXXXX
One more thing. I noticed that my tokens didn't refreshed automatically (expired after 6 hours because renew-token wasn't generated with above command). Above command works perfectly only if i manually add: &token_access_type=offline at the end of a Auth2 Dropbox URL.
It's possible to add &token_access_type=offline to command that i don't need to add it manually?
Thanks.
You shouldn't need the --dropbox-client-secret and --dropbox-client-id flags when doing this.
When I tried this with a normal client-id and client-secret it worked fine, and also when I tried it with an app client I created it worked fine too.
$ rclone config create dropboxapp dropbox client_id=XXX client_secret=YYY

$ rclone lsf dropboxapp:
# no files seen as it is the app
So I think you've probably not quite ticked enough buttons on the dropbox app config page
Here is what I have
