Instructions

First go to : https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/apps/create
Then create a "Drop ins app" there. 
Now go to that from your dropbox apps console to get app_key and app_secret. 

'''
import dropbox
app_key = 'APP_KEY_HERE'
app_secret = 'APP_SECRET_HERE'

flow = dropbox.client.DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect(app_key, app_secret)
authorize_url = flow.start()
print '1. Go to: ' + authorize_url
print '2. Click "Allow" (you might have to log in first)'
print '3. Copy the authorization code.'
code = raw_input("Enter the authorization code here: ").strip()

# This will fail if the user enters an invalid authorization code
access_token, user_id = flow.finish(code)
client = dropbox.client.DropboxClient(access_token)
print 'linked account: ', client.account_info()

print "---------One Time Process Done---------"
print "\n"

print "Your access token is:", access_token

# You need to save this access_token obtained in some text file. 
# and then refer to upload.py 

upload.py
