# Import docs to Dropbox Paper

This home project imports notes.db SQLite3 db to Dropbox paper.

For example Xiaomi MIUI Notes app keeps docs in this format.

Run with

```

yarn

DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=token NOTE_DB=folder/note.db FOLDER_ID= node .

```

It creates docs in format `[id] YYYY-mm-dd doc contents...` so it can check which were already uploaded afterwards.

Run script multiple times to upload not yet uploaded documents.

## Bad experience with Dropbox Paper API

- API slow

- No way to filter by parent_folder_id when downloading/getting docs

- No ID of document?!

- On creating document, API sometimes throws 500 Internal Server Error but still creates doc

- No declaration of API limits (requests/second)

- No way to set doc metadata (id, etc, custom)

- No way to set title but somehow it is automatically generated?

- Downloading slow, list fetching (pagination) slow

- After deleting docs from UI they are still available on API

## Bad experience with Dropbox Paper UI

- No import

- No export

- No way to delete multiple notes

- No way to move multiple notes to folder

- Archiving folder does not archive docs in it (At least it should ask!?)

- Slow

- Deleting slow

- Inconsistent behaviour for selecting multiple docs (Shift-click)

- Delete button unexpectedly disabled (You must be owner of folder) when autoselecting all docs in folder

- No keyboard navigation
