    The Dropbox API doesn't offer a call to append data to an existing file, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

    You'll need to upload the full contents of the new version of the file instead.

      i hope Dropbox will do it,

      but some file not need the full content,

      Sample

      SQlite database file not need the version, 

      i will explain

      i wish to put teh database file on the dropbox then i can connect from my computer using API to addd records , or  retrieve some data 

      because the version of Sqlite in my pc , so the dropbox will just still as cloud file storage.

      I think it could work on Dropbox but i need the connection path on the my acccount dropbox.
