drp

Drp is a command line tool for Dropbox to ease upload, download of files and get public URLs.

Installation

Or alternatively you can do,

$ wget goo.gl/OAgiUG -O drp
$ wget goo.gl/fHhDxS -O handler.py
$ chmod +x drp

Note: This alternate method requires you to install Dropbox Python SDK and Click manually.
