DropboxFetchAllLinks.js

// A workaround to download Dropbox folders that are too large, the 'zip file is too large' error.
// Fetch the links to all individual files in the folder and then download them one by one with a shell script.


// How to use

// Run this script in the devtools console for the dropbox folder. Make sure to use the detailed list UI view
// The script will scroll to the bottom of the page every few seconds to load all the files.
// It'll stop after doing that a number of times (scrollAttempts), then it will dump all the links in the console.

// Copy that object (right click -> copy object on chrome)
// Create a file called 'dropboxlinks.json' and paste the object you copied.
// Next to actually download the files, use the dbxdl.ps1 script that came in this gist.
// An easy way is to download it in the same folder as dbxcli, open the powershell in that folder, and run the script:
// ./dbxdl.ps1
// this should start downloading all the files one at a time.
