[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] get ownCloud external_storage:Dropbox working

Fri Nov 21 13:32:45 UTC 2014

Dear package maintainers: 
I just filed following issue to owncloud but I think it is more a debian
packaging problem:
(see https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/12355)

Best regards,
Frank

PROBLEM:
Unable to activate Dropbox external storage. Always error message
"Fetching request tokens failed. Verify that your Dropbox app key and
secret are correct."
App code and secret correct and verified. CA certs are valid and
up-to-date.

Solution:

remove debian package php-dropbox and install files and folders 
(/usr/share/owncloud/) apps/files_external/3rdparty/Dropbox 
from git instead. 
Modify apps/files_external/lib/dropbox.php and external/ajax/dropbox.php
to contain 
require_once __DIR__.'/../3rdparty/Dropbox/autoload.php';
instead of the relative path. (This is a relevant difference between
debian package and git)

Steps to reproduce

     1. debian system (sid)
     2. install apache, php, (and minimum additional: php-dropbox )
     3. install owncloud 7 
     4. follow steps to activate a Dropbox external 

Expected behaviour

external_files Dropbox should work

Actual behaviour

It is not possible to activate a Dropbox synchronization

        As far I can see you're using packages by the Debian
        maintainers. Those are unsupported by us, if you cannot
        experience this bug with the official packages available via
        http://owncloud.org/install/#instructions-packages I'm going to
        close this issue and ask you to get touch with the Debian
        maintainers.
