    To use Dropbox Uploader, download the script and make it executable.

    $ wget https://raw.github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader/master/dropbox_uploader.sh
$ chmod +x dropbox_uploader.sh

    To list all contents in the top-level directory:

    $ ./dropbox_uploader.sh list

    To list all contents in a specific folder:

    $ ./dropbox_uploader.sh list Documents/manuals

    To upload a local file to a remote Dropbox folder:

    $ ./dropbox_uploader.sh upload snort.pdf Documents/manuals

    To download a remote file from Dropbox to a local file:

    $ ./dropbox_uploader.sh download Documents/manuals/mysql.pdf ./mysql.pdf

    To download an entire remote folder from Dropbox to a local folder:

    $ ./dropbox_uploader.sh download Documents/manuals ./manuals

    To create a new remote folder on Dropbox:

    $ ./dropbox_uploader.sh mkdir Documents/whitepapers

    To delete an entire remote folder (including all its contents) on Dropbox:

    $ ./dropbox_uploader.sh delete Documents/manuals

  2. Yes, sort of, it's available in a terminal with man dropbox after you've installed it. Though it does mention

       In the future there will be full command line support including  linking
   accounts and setting preferences from the dropbox command.

    So I'm not sure if you can do absolutely everything from the command line.
