Is there an API to callback my app after I have uploaded a file?
Hi Dropbox team,
I have created a website which is integrated with the Dropbox API. My website is working like the below.
1. The site receives the data of the file and saves it on my website server.
2. The site calls the Dropbox API to upload it into dropbox's folder.
3. The site saves the meta info to database.
My problem is the speed of my site to receive the file is very slow, so I'm wondering is there an API could let me upload the file the Dropbox directly and then callback my website to tell me the meta info or the error messages?
Regards,

Do you mean you want to send the API call to Dropbox directly from the user's browser? That is possible, e.g., using the Dropbox JavaScript SDK:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js
You can also use webhooks to get notifications of changes sent to your server:
Thanks. That's exactly what I am looking for. But is the JS SDK still under the development? Is it reliable for my business applications?

Yes, the JavaScript SDK is actively supported.
