Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here.

 

For instance, for working in an iOS app using Swift, we offer an official Dropbox SDK for Swift here. Check out the instructions there for getting started with that. There's an example of how to do an upload in that readme here.
