Make the script work again with the new Dropbox API. CAVEAT: the feat…

[lmanul]

…ure where a file that didn't exist at that point in time would get deleted hasn't been restored yet. But given that the old Dropbox API isn't functional anymore, this makes the script work again for the most part.

Thanks! Is it harder to do deletions now? I'm worried that the script could be confusing without that functionality.

[lmanul]

I don't think it's harder, I just thought I would fix the "most urgent", since the script is basically useless as it is with the new API so this is better than the current state :-)

Ok, I'll leave this up until myself or someone has time to finish it up.

[lmanul]

Okay, no worries. I can try to do the deletion part too, shouldn't be much more work. I'll keep you posted. But anyone else reading this feel free ^^

How would one restore the main Dropbox folder - simply the whole thing? I keep getting this when I try to restore with this updated version of the script:

briansmac:New Folder With Items anodigital$ python2.7 restore.py /home/user/dropbox 2017-09-26
Restoring folder: /home/user/dropbox
ApiError('2b9d7e9004a02812897eeeeb54a65e08', ListFolderError(u'path', LookupError(u'not_found', None)))
Note: You must specify the path starting with "/", where "/" is the root
of your dropbox folder. So if your dropbox directory is at "/home/user/dropbox"
and you want to restore "/home/user/dropbox/folder", the ROOTPATH is "/folder".

briansmac:New Folder With Items anodigital$

I should point out that i've tried python2.7 restore.py /home/user/dropbox 2017-09-26 as well as python2.7 restore.py /home/user/dropbox/ 2017-09-26 and also python2.7 restore.py / 2017-09-26 but no luck.

Did you read the error message? :-)

So to restore the whole thing, I assume you need "/"

@imanul - yeah, I did try that. In the bottom of my original post I wrote all the variations that I had tried and still received the same error message. :/

You guys saved my evening!
