Description

Usage

  link_password = NULL, expires = NULL, dtoken = get_dropbox_token())

Arguments

path

This is required The path to the new folder to create relative to root.

requested_visibility

Can be 'public', 'team_only', or 'password'. If the password option is chosen one must specify the 'link_password'. Note that for basic (i.e. free) Dropbox accounts, the only option is to publicly share. Private sharing requires a pro account.

link_password

The password needed to access the document if 'request_visibility' is set to password.

expires

Set the expiry time. The timestamp format is "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"). If no timestamp is specified, link never expires

dtoken

The Dropbox token generated by drop_auth. rdrop2 will try to automatically locate your local credential cache and use them. However, if the credentials are not found, the function will initiate a new authentication request. You can override this in drop_auth by pointing to a different location where your credentials are stored.
