Dropbox as a package source for NuGet, npm, Bower and VSIX packages
Wouldn’t it be awesome if creating a NuGet, npm, Bower or VSIX feed was as easy as just copying packages into a Dropbox folder? Awesomeness is here: we’ve added Dropbox as a package source type to MyGet. This allows us to link a Dropbox folder to a MyGet feed and automatically upload packages so they can be consumed with the popular package managers out there.
The Dropbox package source makes it easy to move packages into MyGet. For example, migrating from a network share to MyGet is as easy as copy-paste. Have a build server that drops artifacts into a Dropbox folder? MyGet will add the synchronized artifacts to your feed. Right now we download packages from Dropbox on a schedule (every 15 minutes).
Give it a try and let us know how it goes – feedback is welcome through the comments below or via the MyGetTeam Twitter account.
Happy packaging!
