gatsby-source-dropbox plugin

Summary

Hello, I was looking for some plugin to fetch content from Dropbox but I did not find any. Is there a reason ? I found this issue where @KyleAMathews speaking about fetching content from Dropbox 2 years ago. Maybe there is some example somewhere

Basic example

I want to build a web app using my sport activities as content. So I connect my services with Tapirrik and export all my activities to dropbox. So It could be great to fetch content directly to my dropbox repo

Is there a reason ?

No one created a source plugin yet, easy as that 😅
You could create it if you don’t want to wait for someone else to do it:

Hey, so i ve worked out a plugin here https://github.com/oorestisime/gatsby-source-dropbox
it is not published yet since i am waiting on the PR i referenced here. You could install this along with the plugin-source-filesystem of the PR to test it :)

After talking a bit on discord i dont think it makes sense to PR the whole plugin in the main gatsby repo so i am closing the issue. Feel free to open issues / propose features on the other repo.
For the moment i am tracking the release issues here https://github.com/oorestisime/gatsby-source-dropbox/issues/1
