I'm afraid that there's no way for us to modify Second Life to allow anything but a text-based content type.

I'm not clear on how to test the Dropbox API... is it true that if I upload something as text/plain I can only get it back as application/octet-stream? That doesn't seem very useful...

It works very well for what it is. It had been my go to method of data storage from second life for a long time. The main advantage is that unlike a php to sql method, you do not need to use an intermediary server. The downside is that all logic then has to be put into the LSL script. I may have found a method to make it work for now, but it is a hack using the get_temporary_link call.
