By default verbose output is FALSE. Set to TRUE if you need to troubleshoot any output or grab additional parameters.

progress

Progress bars are turned off by default. Set to TRUE ot turn this on. Progress is only reported when file sizes are known. Otherwise just bytes downloaded.

dtoken

The Dropbox token generated by drop_auth. rdrop2 will try to automatically locate your local credential cache and use them. However, if the credentials are not found, the function will initiate a new authentication request.
