Dropbox API

[rupakg]

Has anyone thought about accessing Dropbox using Fog? I have searched the
forums and issues, and have not found any discussion. I am wondering why we
don't have a Dropbox provider implementation. Thoughts?

I don't think it has been brought up before. Certainly seems like it could
fit and would be useful. Happy to help with any questions you might have.

Hi Wes,
Thanks for the note. I spent some time yesterday looking at that, and
made good progress. I wanted to ask what you think of adding a dependency
on an OAuth Ruby gem (https://github.com/oauth/oauth-ruby). Dropbox uses
OAuth, and I did not want to waste time implementing OAuth in Fog, as it
has been done in several gems already.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Including it isn't my first choice, but reimplementing it seems silly also.
I think it should be fine for now (and ideally when we split things out
more it will be able to only be required as needed).

Hi Wes,
That is correct. I thought about the same thing but it was silly to
reinvent the wheel. I will give it a shot with adding the dependency for
now. Hope no one else has too much of a disagreement. :)
