Database storage using Dropbox

With the recent deprecation of Datastore API & Datastore SDK, is there any other way to store my database structure and retrieve the information when passing a request/query?

    The Dropbox API doesn't offer another way to store and query structured data like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

    You could store structured data as files, e.g., as JSON, but that wouldn't offer you a way to look up pieces of data via specific queries. Depending on your particular scenario though, you may be able to store the data in separate JSON files at different paths, so that you could retrieve the data as long as you know the relevant path.
