The Dropbox API doesn't offer that functionality, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

      Hello @Greg K. ! I am super interested in what @johntunell is asking, we would like to have DropBox Scanning feature integrated with our website : our employees could directly scan with their mobile phone by clicking on a button in our app, DropBox would scan and copy document both in our system and in our back-up DropBox storage. 

       

      Would this be possible?

        G_Cougard No, unfortunately I don't have any news on the request to expose access to this functionality.
