## What it is
Dropbox Uploader is a BASH script that provides a command-line interface to Dropbox using the official Dropbox API v2, requiring only cURL. It supports uploading, downloading, listing, deleting, moving, renaming, copying, and sharing files, including chunked uploads for large files.

## Use cases
- upload files to dropbox from the command line
- script automated backups to dropbox
- download a dropbox folder recursively via shell
- create dropbox share links from a script
- manage dropbox files without installing the official client
- monitor a dropbox folder for changes in cron

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free (just bash + curl) Dropbox client
- you want to automate Dropbox operations in shell scripts or cron jobs
- you're on a headless server or minimal Linux environment
- you don't want to store your Dropbox password anywhere

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or rich sync client with local folder mirroring
- you need features beyond the Dropbox API v2 surface this script wraps
- you prefer a maintained SDK in Python or another language with more extensibility
- you need Windows-native support without a bash environment

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
