Intro to Dropbox APIs

Dropbox keeps all your files safe and synced and makes it easy to share files with anyone. The Dropbox Platform gives developers access to hundreds of millions of Dropboxes through several simple APIs. Learn all about the Dropbox APIs, featuring our new API v2 and our Core API, both which allow you to interact with files in a user's Dropbox account: access, edit, and share files and folders, plus much more (file previews, thumbnails, search, etc). Looking to quickly choose a file from Dropbox or save a file to Dropbox? Then check out Drop-ins, pre-built UI components that you can integrate with just a few lines of code. You can even build an app using our Dropbox for Business API for additional admin capabilities.
