How I managed to set up Dropbox cloud sync with KOReader step by step

[pongsak]

Today, curl command in the started post is not correct for me, I must use this command instead.

curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token -d code=<Access Code Generated> -d grant_type=authorization_code -u <key:secret>

I tried to do as described in the guide (I only did step 5 as @allanahk said because I couldn't get the token with "\") but I get this error message.
"cannot fetch list of folder contents please check your configuration or network connection"
I updated the Koreader to the new version (v. 2024.03.1), did everything again, even with the new dropbox account, but the result is always the same.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix it?

Ok, I finally got it working, the mistake I made was that I didn't delete the <> symbols when I wrote the tokens and keys. Works great now.

3. To double check that you have the correct scope for your refresh token, when you run the curl command in terminal, check the "scope" parameter contain your chosen permissions (it will appear in the same output as the [B][/B]refresh token). For some reason my permissions didn't stick the first time and I was generating a token with only account_info.read, leading to a lot of frustration and confusion


open/close the app tab couple times and make sure the permissions is there, and you press submit changes to permission at the bottom of the page, in app main menu if you hover over


6. In KOReader, I went to Menu > Tools > Reading Statistics > Settings > Cloud sync. Here I pressed Add Service, and selected Dropbox for type.
In the second field (dropbox refresh token or long-lived token) I entered the token obtained in step 5 refresh_token.

Instructions were perfect - worked great on my Kobo Clara HD. I am awaiting for my Libra2 to turn up, when it does, can I just copy the cloudstorage.lua over to that device and get instant access to my dropbox ?

Yes, the credentials are stored right there.
