Download To Dropbox Chrome Extension

Hi @ag_ana, and thanks for the instructions. That box is already checked in 1Password 7 for Mac, so I can see the Dropbox vault. The browser extension sees only the Personal vault, not the Primary on Dropbox. If I click through the extension, it opens the 1Password website, which shows only the Personal vault. How can I get the app and the extension to work together? Thanks.

@ag_ana Yes, for the last two weeks I've been using that extension with 1Password 7. This combination works fine on my desktop computer and not the laptop. The laptop specs are listed in this post, except that I'm using the classic extension.

That definitely worries me a little that sometime in the future the "Classic Extension" will no longer be supported. I really hope you add support for Dropbox vaults to the new extension before you drop support for the classic.

I would like to add my use for Dropbox access. I use my 1Password account' Personal vault to save work-related passwords and the dropbox function to save non-work-related passwords. Is there a better way to do this?

Dropbox passwords no longer work! It worked well until a couple of weeks ago. I can be signed into my dropbox, I have cleared cache, I have tried incognito. It takes me to the page "Check Chrome Windows for a Notification". But no notification ever comes. I have checked settings and notifications are ON, I have manually re-input Dropbox as an allowed program to send notifications.

I have hit RESEND NOTIFICATION over a dozen times.

What good is this program if it can never be accessed? Do I need to find instructions on how to disable this and just go back to Google Password manager?

I find nothing that can explain, or help with this in Dropbox's help menu. If anyone has figured this out I would appreciate the assist!

If you're often saving documents or images from the Web, you may notice that the process isn't very streamlined on its own. You either have to use the Dropbox software on your PC and choose that folder every time you want to save something, or you have to locate the file and upload it through your Web browser. With the first option, you could set your default download location to Dropbox, but you probably don't want to save every file to your limited-space account. In the end, neither of these options is ideal, so why not check out the Download to Dropbox extension for Google Chrome? Just two clicks and you can save directly to your Dropbox account.

First you'll need to install a copy of Download to Dropbox for Chrome. Visit the extension page on the Chrome Web Store and then click the Add to Chrome button near the top right-hand side of the extension information.

You should see a page loading saying the sign-in was successful. Double-check that you are signed in by looking at the Download to Dropbox icon on the Chrome toolbar. There shouldn't be any red or yellow alert indicators on the icon if the extension is ready for use. If there is an alert, you can click the icon and check the errors.

Now you can surf the Web and download files directly to your Dropbox account by right-clicking and selecting "Upload to Dropbox" from the menu. The download status can be checked by clicking the icon for Download to Dropbox in the Chrome toolbar. It's worth noting that the default upload location is Apps/Chrome Downloads, which can be changed by going to the Settings area of the extension (click the button and then the Settings cog icon).

Adding this extension eliminates the need to "follow up" on files you've downloaded that you intend to add to your Dropbox account. You'll be able to save directly to the cloud without much effort at all.

We're always looking for new ways to make Dropbox work better with the tools you use every day. For many of you, Gmail is one of those tools, helping you share information and stay connected. That's why we recently built an extension for your Chrome browser that lets you attach Dropbox files right from your Gmail account. Today, we have a new version with improvements based on feedback from early users. The Dropbox for Gmail extension makes attaching and viewing files simpler and more powerful:

If you have a need for some external JavaScript or object resources, you can relax the policy to a limited extent by whitelisting secure origins from which scripts should be accepted. We want to ensure that executable resources loaded with an extension's elevated permissions are exactly the resources you expect, and haven't been replaced by an active network attacker

As for me, for the desktop, this way should be the add-on GitHub - buggyj/savetiddlers . True, it is not suitable for the mass user now either, because it is desirable that it be in the firefox and chrome application catalog and be installed in one click. It can also be completed so that it saves the wiki at a certain time interval on sites like tiddlyhost.

Getting files from the web into Dropbox isn't always a one-click affair. Chrome extension Download to Dropbox adds an option to your right-click menu to send any files directly from the web to a folder on your Dropbox. You can accomplish something similar manually in Firefox with the extension Save Link in Folder. Guiding Tech has an explainer on how to accomplish that here.

Did you back up the pw file? Because when you said yes start new during the loop it overwrites your pw file. You need to check versions of that file in dropbox, see if you can put back a version from before the loop

It is not about backing up the file, it is about accessing your passwords, the google drive option was stopped a while back because of a security change at google, so there is only dropbox left.

Unless trezor got it working again on google drive, migrating is not the solution. We are down to one cloud service and if that stops working we lose access to all our passwords.

As part of the Buttercup application suite we're building a browser extension (starting with Chrome). Browser extensions can be tricky, as they entail building many different moving pieces that need to interact with each other in somewhat different environments within the browser.

Using these different components you can create extremely useful and engaging applications for Chrome - such is the hope for our browser extension for web authentication. One useful feature we've wanted for our software is the storage of password archives within Dropbox. The key to an effective credentials manager, we feel, is portability and accessibility, and hosting the secure archive on cloud-based infrastructure makes a user's credentials highly accessible.

Dropbox offer a JavaScript SDK which does all the hard work in authenticating and interacting with Dropbox accounts and files. Reading and writing files is quite trivial (check out dropbox-fs), but authentication is a bit trickier and involves going off-site to allow the user to grant access to the application.

Now there isn't really anything inherently complex about this authentication mechanism by itself, but it gets a bit more complicated when you have to manage the authentication cycle from within the Chrome extension structure. Dropbox requires redirecting the user to a dropbox.com page to ask them if they want to allow access to the application, and then redirects back to a hosted page with an authentication token (which is used for further interaction).

Basically, you need to know (in advance) what the return URL should be once Dropbox has authorised the access request. This is trivial when developing web applications, but some care needs to be taken when working with Chrome's tenuous extension URLs. Extension URLs are randomly generated for extensions per application:

Generating these are quite simple, however, but the problem lies with the chrome-extension:// prefix - Dropbox simply doesn't allow it and will reject requests made with these URLs. Secondly, if you're using a routing mechanism like React Router, you might run in to trouble using fragment paths (eg. #/some/path) as Dropbox will redirect back with a whole lot of junk in the fragment (breaking the router).

For Buttercup's extension we got around these limitations by simply having Dropbox redirect to our own website - Sure, the page isn't explicitly part of the extension, but if we run a content script on that page, we can catch the returned authorisation data:

This is a rather foolproof way of capturing the token within a Chrome extension. We use an own, trusted site to simply be the target of redirection and we scrape the result from there if it exists. Within the Buttercup extension we use a Promise to wait for the token to be set before moving on in the program's flow.

QuickDrop is a free Chrome extension that adds a button to your toolbar. After linking it up to your Dropbox account, you can click on this to view a mini-file browser listing all of your online files.

I'm using the OneTab extension for Chrome on all of my PC's and I'm looking for a solution/workaround to sync all the tabs automatically across my computers. OneTab doesn't provide any sync capability yet, I even emailed them to ask but I got no answer.

Your question was legitimate. Find the local storage for your chrome extension and share that folder via dropbox or other cloud sync solution. Do the same thing on your other PCs... Be careful, your different One Tab bookmarks won't merge.. So make sure to take what you want from the secondary PCs first, and then remove the One Tab files on them, before syncing with your main PC.. Once you've done this, you can save One Tab's on any PC and they will all sync.

I have used OneTab import/export when migrating, because BetterOneTab's sync is no longer supported. Toby doesnt allow saving of multiple tabs at once. OneTabPlus doenst have syncing and the backup function may be difficult after crashing because of the merged extensions storage in Firefox. Similar problems with TidyTab. save tabs to bookmark folder extension is very useful. ff782bc1db
