Receive Pushover notifications to your Android or iPhone of any changes occurring in a chosen Dropbox folder.
Install the Dropbox SDK:
unzip -x dropbox-python-sdk-1.5.1.zip
cd dropbox-python-sdk-1.5.1
python setup.py install
In config.py specify the path to the Dropbox folder to keep track of as well as your Pushover user token which can be retrieved from https://pushover.net/. Run
./dropbox-pushover.py
once to authorize access to your Dropbox. Then set up a cronjob ( crontab -e ) for dropbox-pushover.py, e.g. add a line like
00/5 * * * * <INSERT_FULL_PATH_TO_PYTHON>/python <INSERT_FULL_PATH_TO_REPOSITORY>/dropbox-pushover.py
to your crontab to run the script every 5 minutes, and you're set to receive Pushover notifications of any changes occurring in the specified Dropbox folder.
