Is it possible to get extended file attributes?

Hi there, Is it possible to get extended file attributes (xattrs) for files using the Dropbox API? I know they are synced so there should be a way to access them using the API. Thanks, Götz

Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't expose OS X extended file attributes, but I'll pass this along to the team as a feature request.
