./dropbox_uploader.sh info

and

./dropbox_uploader.sh space
Dropbox Uploader v1.0

 > Getting space usage info... 

Quota:  2560 Mb
Used:   1569 Mb

but the following fails

 ./dropbox_uploader.sh list
 > Listing "/"... FAILED

I modified the script to dump the $RESPONSE_FILE and it says

HTTP/2 401 
content-type: application/json

{"error":{".tag":"missing_scope","required_scope":"files.metadata.read"},"error_summary":"missing_scope/"}

Some error occured. rerun the script with "-d" option and check the output and logfile: /tmp/du_resp_29560.hpc.

any idea what is going on?

PS: here is the diff for my 'hack'
1- make RESPONSE_FILE unique per user (avoid perm denied if $TMP_DIR/du_resp_debug exists and own by diff user
2- cat its content when FAILED, to avoid -d that is way too verbose IM(H)O

< RESPONSE_FILE="$TMP_DIR/du_resp_$RANDOM"
---
> RESPONSE_FILE="$TMP_DIR/du_resp_$RANDOM.$USER"

I can also confirm that the script is not working anymore.
@skorzennik This following error:
{"error":{".tag":"missing_scope","required_scope":"files.metadata.read"},"error_summary":"missing_scope/"}

Did you properly configure the permissions in the dropbox developer page? if you do not check this permission files.metadata.read and files.metadata.write you will get this error.
I'm a step further than this error here. I'm at the point that when I call the list command it will show me whatever is in my folder. I have chosen a folder scope. That works. But I cannot download or upload any files. It keeps failing.

I'm hoping that this project is not abandoned.

Ok. I figure it out. It is working now. I was getting a 400 error from the dropbox API. But I couldn't see the additional description until I ran the curl command generated by the script and it the reponse (the output) There was the following:
Error in call to API function "files/download": Your app is not permitted to access this endpoint because it does not have the required scope 'files.content.read'. The owner of the app can enable the scope for the app using the Permissions tab on the App Console.

So I went again to set some more permissions because I was missing permissions. One thing I noticed (one my linux machine): once you change the permission you have to delete your dropbox-uploader configuration file and do the process again for the permission changes to take effect. It is now working as expected.

I hope this helps you @skorzennik

I have checked files.metadata.read and files.content.read, yet 'list' fails. After removing ~/.dropbox_uploader (renaming it) I'm unable to get anything done. We're switching to rclone, that is setup w/out any fuss and works, Sorry,
