 # Prerequisites :
 # 1.SetUp dropbox sdk to be able to use Dropbox Api's
 # $ sudo pip install dropbox
 # By default python dropbox sdk is based upon the python 3.5
 #
 # 2. Create an App on dropbox console (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps) which will be used and validated to do
 # the file upload and restore using dropbox api. Mostly you need an access token to connect to Dropbox before actual file/folder operations.
 #
 # 3. Once done with code, run the script by following command
 # $ python SFileUploader.py // if python3.5 is default
