Thankyou for reporting.

You have to check DROSH_SCREENSHOT_FOLDER exists inside your dropbox folders and you must have Dropbox installed and running.

We discussed offline and its resolved.

Following your advice @jcarizza

1- I installed Dropbox daemon on my computer
2- Created a 'Screenshots' directory inside Dropbpx dir (/home/edvm/Dropbox/Screenshots)
3- Configured DROSH_DROPBOX_FOLDER=/home/edvm/Dropbox/Screenshots

When saving a screenshot to DROSH_SCREENSHOT_FOLDER (which points to DROSH_SCREENSHOT_FOLDER=/home/edvm/Pictures/Screenshots/) i got the following error:

(drosh) @math:drosh(master) $ python src/drosh.py 2017-07-25 12:29:41,791 - __main__ - DEBUG - WD=(1) MASK=(256) COOKIE=(0) LEN=(16) MASK->NAMES=['IN_CREATE'] WATCH-PATH=[/home/edvm/Pictures/Screenshots/] FILENAME=[bar2.png] 2017-07-25 12:29:41,792 - __main__ - INFO - Create shared link for: b'bar2.png' 2017-07-25 12:29:42,956 - __main__ - ERROR - Trying 0 time: Error to create shared link ApiError('xxx', CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError('path', LookupError('not_found', None))) 2017-07-25 12:29:43,571 - __main__ - ERROR - Trying 1 time: Error to create shared link ApiError('yyy', CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError('path', LookupError('not_found', None))) ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "src/drosh.py", line 67, in create_shared_link settings=None File "/home/edvm/.virtualenvs/drosh/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dropbox/base.py", line 2120, in sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings None, File "/home/edvm/.virtualenvs/drosh/lib/python3.5/site-packages/dropbox/dropbox.py", line 256, in request user_message_locale) dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ApiError('hhh', CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError('path', LookupError('not_found', None)))

Any hints? Thanks in advance,

Just to make sure.

The DROSH_SCREENSHOT_FOLDER is the full path in your computer where you save the screenshots. This folder must be one of the sub-folders where you have configured Dropbox. Let's say you configured dropbox in /home/user/Dropbox and you created a Capturas folder inside your dropbox folder so the path should be the join of /home/user/Dropbox and /Capturas .In this case /home/user/Dropbox/Capturas, or in your case DROSH_SCREENSHOT_FOLDER=/home/edvm/Dropbox/Screenshots

The DROSH_DROPBOX_FOLDER is the relative path in your dropbox folder in the cloud. I created the Capturas folder inside Dropbox folder so in the cloud the path for the Capturas folder is in the root /Capturas in your case DROSH_DROPBOX_FOLDER=/Screenshots

Hello @zamoroka

You can use the same token you use in Drosh to explore paths with the Dropbox API Explorer. https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder .

I'm seeing that an item has two path names path_lower and path_display.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8tguvax4mjhh7l4/Selecci%C3%B3n_169.png?dl=0

In my DROSH_DROPBOX_FOLDER i've configured the path_display name https://www.dropbox.com/s/xk6gz2ht8dsb5yb/Selecci%C3%B3n_170.png?dl=0

@edvm maybe the problem is that we should to set the path_display that is capitalized

[jcarizza]

@zamoroka did work?

[zamoroka]

@jcarizza
yes, I resolved the issue.
local folder should synchronize with dropbox. I thouth, that your script uploads automatically.
sorry if I've wasted your time and thanks :)

[zamoroka]

@jcarizza
also it don't show the notification, when configured via supervisor.service. Could you please suggest how to configure supervisor? I think that script sends notification to wrong display or user, but I cant figure out how to resolve this.
Thanks

[jcarizza]

@zamoroka

You can look your default display on the terminal printing the DISPLAY variable that is the X display name

My DISPLAY output is:

jcarizza@fox ~ $ echo $DISPLAY
:0

This is my drosh.conf supervisor file:

[program:drosh]
command=/home/jcarizza/.env/drosh/bin/python /usr/local/bin/drosh.py
user=jcarizza
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/drosh.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/drosh.log
environment=DISPLAY=":0.0",DROSH_DROPBOX_TOKEN='***********************',DROSH_DROPBOX_FOLDER='/Capturas',DROSH_SCREENSHOT_FOLDER='/home/jcarizza/Dropbox/Capturas',USER=jcarizza,HOME=/home/jcarizza,LOGNAME=jcarizza

[zamoroka]

@jcarizza
the same configuration.
ok. no worries. I'll try to figure out and inform you if find something

[jcarizza]

@zamoroka what operative system and windows manager are using you? I will investigete too

[zamoroka]

@jcarizza
Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS with Unity

steps for supervisor:

sudo apt install supervisor
cp supervisor/drosh.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/drosh.conf
supervisorctl reread
supervisorctl update
sudo /etc/init.d/supervisor restart

supervisorctl shows:

drosh                            RUNNING   pid 1614, uptime 0:35:18
supervisor> 

script works, I have link in clipboard, just without any notification.

@jcarizza
I've added

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-YMTbwfuw2F' 

to environment in drosh.conf supervisor file
and it works now
but /tmp/dbus-YMTbwfuw2F is temporary value so need to investigate further

[jcarizza]

I'm looking pyperclip source code, they also use de DISPLAY https://github.com/asweigart/pyperclip/blob/master/pyperclip/__init__.py#L60

[zamoroka]

@jcarizza
I've changed user to root in drosh.conf supervisor file and it fixes notification display.
possibly some wrong configuration of supervisor
