dylib file located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory, by default in /Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Dropbox.Дriver = /Applications/CData ODBC Driver for CData/lib/ In this section, the Driver property specifies the path to the driver library.

The section name specifies the name of the driver. You can find the correct odbcinst.ini in the following paths:Дrivers are defined in sections in the odbcinst.ini file.

With iODBC, drivers can be available to only one user account or drivers can be available system wide. To register an ODBC driver, modify the odbcinst.ini file. You may need to modify the installed driver definition if you change the path to the driver library. For example, below is the entry for the DSN created during the driver install:Д¬Data Dropbox Source = CData ODBC Driver for Dropbox Registering a DSN for iODBC with odbcinst.ini If you wish to authenticate using OAuth, you will need to add an additional connection property to ensure that the OAuth flow can execute properly: Other = CheckPromptMode=FalseДЄdditionally, in the ODBC Data Sources section, the DSN must be set to a driver defined in the odbcinst.ini file. Place your connection properties at the beginning of odbc.ini: In addition to the connection properties required to connect to Dropbox, the Driver property specifies either a driver definition in the odbcinst.ini file or the path to the driver library. This will limit the number of rows returned, which is especially helpful for improving performance when designing reports and visualizations. When you configure the DSN, you may also want to set the Max Rows connection property. See the Getting Started guide in the CData driver documentation for more information. To authenticate using OAuth, you can use the embedded credentials or register an app with Dropbox. Modifying iODBC's system-wide settings requires elevated permissions to do so, you can use following to open a text editor from the terminal:Дropbox uses the OAuth authentication standard. You can find the correct odbc.ini in the following paths: System data sources can be accessed by all users. User data sources can only be accessed by the user account whose home folder the odbc.ini is located in. You can define ODBC data sources in sections in the odbc.ini file. To activate a trial license, omit the key input.Д¬d '/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Dropbox/bin'

In a terminal run the following commands to license the driver. This makes the driver easy to use with these tools. The CData ODBC Driver for Dropbox is preconfigured for the iODBC driver manager, as are many other products like Microsoft Excel.

Installing the CData ODBC Drivers on Mac OS X This article walks through creating a DSN for Dropbox data in iODBC and accessing Dropbox data in Microsoft Excel, all on a machine running Mac OS X. Microsoft Excel features calculations, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language that allows users to work with data in many of the ways that suit their needs, whether on a Windows machine or a Macintosh machine.
