What it does

Upload every extracted frame plus a `manifest.json` to a Dropbox folder under a timestamped per-run subfolder. One API call per file via Dropbox's `/2/files/upload` endpoint; no SDK, just fetch + OAuth bearer token.

When to reach for it

Personal Dropbox as an off-machine video archive that syncs automatically
Team Dropbox for sharing clip frames with collaborators
Simple OAuth bearer auth — no SDK install, no complex scopes

Install

npm i -g peepshow

Use it

DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=... \
peepshow ./clip.mp4 --sink dropbox

Make it automatic

peepshow sinks add dropbox
peepshow sinks add dropbox --when extension=mp4,mov
peepshow sinks add dropbox --when path=/Volumes/Work/

Configuration

DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN OAuth 2 access token for the target Dropbox account / team. required
DROPBOX_PREFIX Root folder for all peepshow runs. Default `/peepshow`.
DROPBOX_API_URL Dropbox content API base URL. Override for regional or mock endpoints.

Use with an LLM agent

Every peepshow sink reads its config from env vars and receives a single JSON payload on stdin. An LLM agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, Codex) can drive the Dropbox sink automatically when three things are true:

the env vars below are exported in the agent's shell (or a project .env it can load),
the peepshow CLI is on PATH — install with npm i -g peepshow,
a peepshow auto-sink is registered for the run (optional but recommended — makes invocation zero-argument).

1. Set the environment

# Add to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or a project .env the agent can load
export DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN="..."

2. Register as an auto-sink

peepshow sinks add dropbox
peepshow sinks add dropbox --when extension=mp4,mov

3. Example LLM session

You → drop a .mov into Claude Code.
Claude → auto-invokes /peepshow:slides ./clip.mov. peepshow extracts frames + audio, the Dropbox sink forwards the run to the configured bucket / folder. Claude replies with a summary and a link to the created record.

The full transcript JSON is saved next to the frames in the manifest.

Write your own

A sink is any executable that reads the --emit json payload on stdin. Shell, Node, Python, Go — the spec's in docs/PLUGINS.md. Register persistent ones with peepshow sinks add-cmd 'your-command'.
