I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a custom folder overview using Dropbox's API is this possible or not?
No, the Dropbox API doesn't currently expose the ability to set folder overviews programmatically, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

I'm looking for a way to share a folder with other Dropbox account through API or similar. My code creates a new directory which I want to auto-share with other person, but currently the only way I've found is to create the folder and share it from the UI. I'm looking for a way to automate this process.
Thanks!
No Dropbox APi is not offering this function yet, but we can expect this in the future

I want to integrate OneDrive in my App and want to add a functionality to share data with other user using the public folder's on Onedrive. I can see that OneDrive provides the functionality to create a Link to folder and files. But I cant get the reference on how to create it programmatically. Also once the link to folder or file is created ,is there a way to access it using APIs ?
Please some one advice.
regards
The following is probably what you're looking for:

I am working on Dropbox Core API with Google App Engine (python). There seems to be some problems with Dropbox-python-sdk on GAE. Therefore, I have choose to use the Core APIs directly.
My app is trying to retrieve all image files from a user's dropbox (with file type permission). But I couldn't find a way to get all files without specifying the root/path (all the APIs stated here requires a specific file path)
Any idea?
EDIT Dropbox actually recommends not automatically recursing via /metadata calls. (See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/bestpractices.)
There's no method to get a recursive list of files, so you would need to use /search to find files or /delta with no cursor to get the full list of files.
Could the Chooser be an option here (if you're just trying to let the user pick individual files)?
I want to detect updates to files, as well as retrieve a URL to them.
Can that all be done through the Sync API? Or do I have to use both the Sync and the Core APIs? (Is that even possible?)
Thanks!
You can use the following method to observe to changes all files in a folder
-[DBFilesystem addObserver:forPathAndChildren:]
The Sync API doesn't currently support getting a public URL for a file (like the /shares endpoint in the REST API), but that feature will be coming in a future version.
Is it possible to check when a folder or a file is created or modified in my Dropbox Application's folder?
All right, I found the answer.. Developers who want to get information of changes user did in application can use dropbox Delta API or REST API Delta URL..
dropbox.com/developers/reference/api#delta
"https://api.dropbox.com/1/delta" URL in REST API returns last changes as a Json Object.
