how to email picture to dropbox and get the to display on website
I am trying to get my photos to display on my website i need it to upload the newest image
there is some one that is doing this every thing but we have No idea who it is and have not been able to track them down for 3 years
I pulled the coding see here src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/xga8m03ap65sqsw/image00.jpg?raw=1"
the other inportant thing is at it would be great to be able to directly email the to the drop box folder since the trail cameras we have are email based Flicker and photo bucket use to do this but are no longer doing it
i am using wix and would love a way to be able to do this so we can show our snowmobile trail conditions in real time
using these email send base from the cameras and or be able to use cell phones to take and send pics directly to send to the web page to display

The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to upload via email, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
Dropbox does offer an HTTPS-based API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files though, among other operations, so you could potentially build the functionality you need on top of that. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here.
For example, you can upload files using /2/files/upload. And you can create shared links (which you can modify for different behaviors) for files using /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. By the way, those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.
