Dropbox deploy script

[bowie]

Looking for a deployment script for Dropbox, so far I have found out that Dropbox does not provide an easy way to deploy their applications. Maybe someone has encountered the same problem before and has script/pkg that could help?

Covert the DMG to PKG and deploy using jamf

Steps to convert macOS DMG files to PKG files.

• Go to the folder that contains the DMG file.
• Double click the DMG file. It gets mounted as a virtual disk and reveals its contents.
• Copy the .app file to the Applications folder in the macOS device.

• Eject the DMG file by clicking on the eject button.
• Open Terminal.
• Build the PKG file using the productbuild command

sudo productbuild --component /path_to_installedapp/macapp.app / path_to_savedpackage/packagename.pkg

The two arguments specify the location of the installed .app file (path_to_installedapp/macapp.app) and the location to create the PKG file (path_to_savedpackage/packagename.pkg), respectively.

• Provide the device login password and wait for a few seconds for the build to finish.
• The PKG file gets created at the desired location.
