It handles OAuth authentication (including PKCE flows), file uploads and downloads, folder operations, and account metadata retrieval. The library wraps Dropbox's REST API, abstracting HTTP details behind Python objects and methods.\n\nThe package depends on requests for HTTP communication and stone for API specification handling. It targets modern Python versions (3.11+) and is actively maintained by Dropbox, with recent updates addressing API server certificate changes. Installation is straightforward via pip, and the library includes examples for common workflows like OAuth flows and bulk file operations.","worth_installing":"Yes. The Dropbox SDK is the official, actively maintained client library with low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing. Install it if you need to integrate Dropbox into a Python application. The only consideration is the hard requirement for Python 3.11 or newer; if your project targets earlier versions, you cannot use this package."},"id":"dropbox","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dropbox","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dropbox.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dropbox/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-20","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dropbox","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Official Dropbox API Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2342903,"position":3122,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"12.2.1"}
