Description

DropboxFinder is plugin for Flow Launcher to search files directly within Dropbox, this makes finding files super easy from the launcher directly, I've found this super helpful when I was trying to compare Dropbox search results against Windows search (indexing), this proves to be super helpful when you have Dropbox setup in the online mode only, since the Windows indexer will not be able to find the files on your local local machine.

Plugin Demo

First time setup

Use the command:

df <any file name here just to setup the OAuth on Dropbox>

Click on the button that says "API key not find, click to setup" and accept the OAuth auth.

Go to Flow Launcher settings and put the path to the Dropbox folder, mine is: E:\Dropbox

Run the command again and the plugin should work: df AnyFile

Usage

df <name of the file you're looking for>

Fast testing

I have written a quick testing utility named debug.ps1 to easy test my changes but closing Flow Launcher and loading the plugin automatically during development.
