SETTING UP YOUR DROPBOX FOR LOGGING
1. Log in to your Dropbox account or sign up for a new one.
2. Once signed up or logged in:
•
Go to
https://www.dropbox.com/developers
•
Click 'Create your app' box in the center of the screen.
•
Select 'Dropbox API app'.
•
Choose an appropriate answer as to whether your node should be limited to its own
folder or given full access. (TIP: This can be changed later, so choose 'Yes' to restrict
the application while testing might be a good idea.)
•
Choose an app name.
•
Click 'Create app'.
The subsequent app page will contain the App key, App secret and a 'Generate' button
to produce a suitable 'access token'.
Save these strings so you can enter them into the
application later.
3. From your browser, open the Node-RED™ flow at
192.168.1.1:1880
.
4.
Locate “Log data to file”, then scroll right and locate the blue ‘Write Remote File’ node
;
double click on it.
