      Hi,

      Just wanted to share a new module I published recently - it’s called mmm-dropbox and allows you to grab images from a Dropbox folder, have them automatically scaled down and displayed in 1 or more rows on your mirror.

      As I also point out in the Read Me this is a module with a pretty specific focus - it does exactly what I describe above (and does it well), but it doesn’t support stuff like videos, setting a Dropbox image as the background of your mirror, displaying information about the image, etc. I built this for my wife & this is what she wanted - but, hey, there’s no reason you can’t use it on your mirror as well!

      Here’s the repo:
      https://github.com/michael5r/mmm-dropbox

      And here’s a screenshot of what it looks like on the mirror with the default configuration:

      Enjoy!

          @Stoffbeuteluwe open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the tab labeled console in that new window,
          and scroll up to find any errors

                Hi, got the app on my mirror all ok. The problem is it tells me the dropbox folder does not exist.

                Here is the code, please see if I have gone wrong, left folder blank due to wanting all photos.

                {
                module: ‘mmm-dropbox’,
                position: ‘top_bar’, // pick whichever position you want
                config: {
                token: ‘<kxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxMJG_o0xxgC>’,
                folder: ‘<DROPBOX_FOLDER_NAME>’,
                // … and whatever else configuration options you want to use
                }
                },

                Would really like to get this working.

                Thank you for looking

                    Hi, auch das funktioniert nicht bei mir. Was kann es noch sein? VG

                    Real programmers never work 9 to 5. If they are around at 9 AM, it's because they were up all night.
