Hi,
Thanks for the reply. In either scenarios listed above, the file should be uploaded(downloaded) to(from) the shared folder without any manual intervention. While exploring 'Dropbox for HTTP Developers - Dropbox API V2', I found that there are below end-points to upload and download a file from a shared Dropbox folder.

Please advise if there is any standard utility already created that consumes these APIs to Upload/Download a file to shared folder. I will try to create my own app that will Upload/Download a file to shared folder without any manual intervention.
Please let me know for any questions.

Hi dbagadia,
:thinking: Using any endpoint from Dropbox API suppose driving in context of OAuth session. This in turn suppose access to a Dropbox account from both parties (either shared or 2 connected). Dropbox application is example for a utility which use the API and ready for use. In this context I can't see a reason (how to say) to "rediscover the hot water". :grin:
Using the API (either direct https access or througout SDKs) is meaningfull if You want to embed Dropbox cloud functionality in existing software product or build entierly new service on top of Dropbox. In the main post asked for something much simple which can be achieved with just few lines or even without any lines of code. Anyway, this is a option.
The choice is Yours! Have a great day. :wink:
