dbx command [options] [arguments]

dbx is a command-line interface for Dropbox, allowing file operations without the graphical client. It provides functionality for uploading, downloading, listing, and sharing files stored in Dropbox cloud storage.
The tool requires OAuth authentication which is handled through the auth command. Once authenticated, it maintains credentials for subsequent operations. It supports both personal and business Dropbox accounts.
dbx is useful for scripting backup operations, automating file transfers, and accessing Dropbox on headless servers or systems without a graphical environment.
