*Introduction*
Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc., that offers
cloud storage, file synchronization, and client software. Dropbox allows
users to create a special folder on each of their computers, which Dropbox
then synchronizes so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same
contents) regardless of which computer is used to view it. Files placed in
this folder also are accessible through a website and mobile phone
applications.
Dropbox integration support for 3 types of API
1. Datastore API
2. Sync API
3. Core API
But sync API is only for mobile devises and no http interface.

Selected Methods (26) for version 1.0.0
• init- config operation.
• getUserInfo - Retrieves information about the user's account.
• getFile - Downloads a file.
• uploadFile - Uploads a file using PUT semantics.
• getMetadata - Retrieves file and folder metadata.
• getDeltaEntires - A way of letting keep up with changes to files and
folders in a user's Dropbox.
• getMetadataForPreviousRevision - Obtains metadata for the previous
revisions of a file.
• rollbackToPreviousRevision - Restores a file path to a previous
revision. Unlike downloading a file at a given revision and then
re-uploading it, this call is atomic. It also saves
a bunch of
bandwidth.
• getMetadataBySearch - Returns metadata for all files and folders
whose filename contains the given search string as a substring.
• getShareLink - Creates and returns a Dropbox link to files or
folders users can use to view a preview of the file in a web browser.
• getMediaLink - Returns a link directly to a file.
• getCopyFileRef - A copy_ref to the specified file. For compatibility
reasons, it returns the link's expiration date in Dropbox's usual date
format. All links are currently set to expire far enough in the future so
that expiration is effectively not an issue.
• getThumbnail - Gets a thumbnail for an image
• chunkUpload - Completes an upload initiated by the /chunked_upload
method. Saves a file uploaded via /chunked_upload to a user's Dropbox.
• chunkUploadCommit - Completes an upload initiated by the
/chunked_upload method. Saves a file uploaded via /chunked_upload to a
user's Dropbox.
• copyFile - Copies a file or folder to a new location.
• createFolder - Creates a folder.
• deleteFile - Deletes a file or folder.
• moveFile - Moves a file or folder to a new location.
• getDataStore - Retrieves a list of all datastores for the current
user.
• isValidDataStore - Checks the validity of a datastore ID and returns
its revision and handle. The ID must refer to an existing datastore. This
works for both local and global datastores..
• getOrCreateDatastore - Checks the validity of a local datastore ID
or creates a new datastore with the given ID, and returns its revision and
handle. This only works for local datastores. To create a global datastore,
use create_datastore.
• createDatastore - Creates a new "global" datastore and returns its
revision and handle. If the datastore already exist and is owned by the
same user, this call returns its revision and handle. If the datastore
already exists and is owned by another user, this call returns an error. To
create a local datastore, use get_or_create_datastore.
• deleteDatastore - Remove a datastore.
• getDelta - Return deltas for a datastore since a given revision.
• getSnapshot - Return a full snapshot of a datastore.
