Upload Files to Google Drive or Dropbox automatically

[ronyronen]

Hi there,

The webcam integration feature work great for me. However, I wanted to expand it and try to upload the images to my google drive hence to be able to access them from the internet.
I saw few topics related however all of them are using the cURL which is not installed on the nas. Do you happen to have cURL to put in the nas :?:

BTW, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on VM and added a custom kernel w/the same version of the nas. But I didn't succeed to compile a cURL bin and used it on the nas. I guess Ubuntu uses difference shell...

Thank you.
I have the nwsp2 v14.

I will have a look at it and compile it for you

[fvdw]

attached a compiled version and it runs on the nwsp2

It can be installed as addon, see this topic for instruction to prepare the NAS for using addons
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=645

For this addons put the zip file in the addons folder and unpack it , then extract the tar file in the same folder

Let us know your experiences, seems an interesting program and we might add it to the standard applications in the firmware

Thanks for the quick response.
I'm newbie to this linux world but still wanted to give it a try. Apparently, the script to upload files needs the PHP+cURL as it uses curl_init and other functions.

The tutorial I'm following is: https://github.com/jakajancar/DropboxUploader
I was succeed to upload a file to my Dropbox from Ubuntu. However, when executing the same from the nas it gives an error.
When I search the web I find out that I need to PHP and cURL together: http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php

Thanks.

so you need the php curl extension. Also that is probably no problem.

[fvdw]

it was easier then I thought, attached the curl.so compiled for php.

curl-php-extension-18feb2013.zip

You need to install it in /usr/lib/php/extensions/
(don't forget to set it as executable, chmod 755 )

In /etc/php.ini you will need to add

Code: Select all

extension=curl.so

(at line 593)

Also you need to have libcurl installed as add on (the one I posted)
On my system php now mentions that curl is loaded

Thank you so match. It's now working for me. However, I needed to put the file under /usr/lib/php/extensions and not modules.

[fvdw]

:thumbup

nice, indeed I meant extensions and not modules.

Can you post what you have done to use this feature ?

[santa]

nice ideea
I will try'it

[ronyronen]

Yeh, off course. I wanted to do it last night but it was too late.

The end results so far is: In every minute I'm getting to my DropBox a snapshot on my driveway taking by my webcam. As I've dropbox on my smartphone it's a convenience way to keep track the images.

So far I did:
1. Installed the PHP curl as commented above.
2. Downloaded the PHP script DropboxUploader.php from: https://github.com/jakajancar/DropboxUploader and putted it under /share/1000/fvdw/addons/.
Tip: I changed CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false to avoid ssl exception.
3. Wrote a simple script (UploadMotion2DropBox.php) to upload a file to the Dropbox and putted it under /share/1000/fvdw/addons/.
4. Configured motion to take a snapshot using the motion configuration.
5. Add a crone to upload the lastsnap.jpg took by motion every minute and save it w/timestamp (to keep older files):

Code: Select all

*/1 * * * * php /share/1000/fvdw/addons/UploadMotion2DropBox.php

I'm intended to shape a bit the script. I'd happy to hear comments.

b.t.w I thought to a have an option to send email w/the last motion in case the cam spot a movement...see more here: http://www.dropboxwiki.com/Dropbox_Addons#PHP_.C2.A0

And off course thank you for your great product and helping me. :applause

UploadMotion2DropBox.php
