What is the diffrence between dropbox android sdk, dropbox core sdk, dropbox sync sdk??

Isn't there any one common sdk which supports all the dropbox api features???

    There have been a few different Dropbox Android SDKs over the years:

    • Android Core SDK (deprecated): this offered direct access to API v1 for Android environments.
    • Android Sync SDK (deprecated): this offered abstracted access to API v1, by offering a local-filesystem-like interface, for Android environments.
    • API v2 Java SDK (supported): this offers direct access to API v2 for Java and Android environments. API v2 offers full access to the features of the Dropbox API. This is the SDK you should now use.
