Public

Public is a Ruby command-line tool for quickly copying files to your public Dropbox folder.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'public'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install public

Usage

Run the command by itself to generate a configuration file:

> public

This will create ~/.public_gem, where you can set your Dropbox ID:

dropbox_user_id: CHANGE_ME

Your Dropbox ID can be found in a URL from your public folder:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/YOUR_ID/foobar

Once you change this, you can then run public with a file (or files) as the argument to copy them to your Public folder and your clipboard.

> public foobar.txt
> public barbaz.txt foobaz.txt
