Is it possible to sync podio and dropbox so when I add data to my podio app it instantaneously updates dropbox. I know it is possible to add files from dropbox to podio but I am looking for a way to add podio files into dropbox.
You can do that with zapier
it will allow you to have 5 zaps for free but also the free version pull the changes every 15 minutes

I want to download files for my private app without having to go through oauth.
In other word, I want to simplify the process to get my files from remote dropbox. Preferable, something like invoking GET to /files/<path>?key=<APP_KEY> to download the file at <path>.
Is it possible to accomplish that on Dropbox API?
The Dropbox API does not offer the ability to download files from an account without authorization. You'll need an access token to use /2/files/download. Access tokens don't expire by themselves though, so you can store and re-use them without further manual user intervention. I.e., get an access token for your account manually once, and just store that so your app can use it to call /2/files/download as documented each time.
Alternatively, if you only need to download from pre-determined file(s), you can get shared link(s) for the file(s) and download directly from the shared link(s):

I would like to get notified if there are no files newer than 24h in a specific Dropbox folder. IFTTT has a few Dropbox triggers, but they only trigger when new files are uploaded. So how could this be done? Do I have to use Dropbox's API and create something on my own? Or are there other services that can do this? IFTTT in combination with Dropbox's webhooks? All ideas are greatly appreciated :)
I am creating a web service that mashes up Dropbox, Soundcloud and Wordpress.
I need a callback when user places a file in his Dropbox folder so that I can update the browser user interface. Since it is possible to ask for a download link locally before a file is completely synced, I naturally expect it to be possible to get a callback when file sync has started on a file-by-file basis.
However according to what I experienced /delta only shows files that have finished syncing.
Is there a way to know when file sync starts? If it is not possible via Core API, could it be possible with a small client applet (java or something)?
The Dropbox API doesn't currently expose any notion of a pending upload or file sync status. It can only return information about files that have finished uploading.
Likewise, even with a client app running on the same OS, there currently isn't an interface for communicating with the official Dropbox desktop client to get this information.
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

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.
I'm playing around with dropbox.js and have created a web-app to take notes and save them to my dropbox account.
Is there a possibility to turn off notifications for only this one App folder without turning off all notifications?
These days, with API v2, you can mute notifications on individual upload operations via the mute parameter on /files/upload.
See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload for the detailed API documentation.
