> A Dropbox Storage for your Django apps

## What

`django-dropbox-storage` allows Django apps to use Dropbox as a storage backend for file uploading.

## Installing

First things first:

```
$ pip install django-dropbox-storage
```

Then open the `settings.py` of your project and include it to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:

```
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_dropbox_storage',
    ...
)
```

If you want to use `django_dropbox_storage` as default storage for all file uploads, you need to adjust `DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE` too:

```
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'django_dropbox_storage.storage.DropboxStorage'
```

If you just want to use it on a single model field, you can simply import it:

```
from django_dropbox_storage.storage import DropboxStorage

DROPBOX_STORAGE = DropboxStorage()

photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='photos', storage=DROPBOX_STORAGE ...)
```

In order to let it work properly, you must set the next settings:

```
DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN = 'xxx'
```

If you don't have `DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN` you can create one after creating a Dropbox app at [Dropbox for Developers](https://www.dropbox.com/developers).
If you have your Dropbox `App key` and `App secret`, you can set `DROPBOX_CONSUMER_KEY` and `DROPBOX_CONSUMER_SECRET` settings in `settings.py`, then run:

```
$ python manage.py get_dropbox_token [--settings=test_settings]
```

And follow up on screen instructions, finally set the `DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET` in your `settings.py` module.

You can also set default root folder setting the value of `DROPBOX_ROOT_FOLDER`:

```
DROPBOX_ROOT_FOLDER = '/Public'
```

By default it's set to `'/'` (root folder).

## Tests

Tests are written following Django's best practices.

In order to run them, you need to set `DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN` properly.

**NOTE:** if you're testing this package as _stand-alone_, you can set the access token in a `local_settings.py` module put in the root folder.

To launch the test suite:

```
$ python manage.py test [--settings=test_settings]
```

To check the unit tests coverage you can:

```
$ pip install coverage
$ coverage run manage.py test [--settings=test_settings]
$ coverage report -m
```
