Rake Aborted! “Don't know how to build task 'dropbox:authorize'”

Question

Working with rails and my application, and bumped into a problem. I've come to the step where I need to install dropbox, and incorporate it to my code. The first step was to install the dropbox gem, and that happened with ease. Then I had to complete the migration, which was also a success. Then it came to the problem to rake dropbox, which the problem happend.

This is the code that I put into my command line:

rake dropbox:authorize APP_KEY=your_app_key APP_SECRET=your_app_secret ACCESS_TYPE= dropbox | app_folder. 

Of course I put my key and secret code into the code, but when I pressed enter, I got the following error.

rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'dropbox:authorize'

Answer 1

You have to choose either dropbox or app_folder for the ACCESS_TYPE parameter.
