QNAP HBS3 Dropbox api limits

Hi,
I'm wondering if syncing files from QNAP using HBS3 app will user API limits on Business Accounts? Or it's whitelisted and limits are not used?

  • No, I don't have a screenshot of that. The text would be "You're about to link an app that will consume your team's available upload API quota." though.

    It sounds like you're referring to the "1 billion API calls/month" noted here:

     

    https://www.dropbox.com/plans?trigger=nr

     

    This is a limit on the number of upload API calls that can be made per team per month, for certain Dropbox Business team plans.

     

    I don't have a specific list of these apps available to see which are subject to that limit, but when you are prompted to decide whether or not to connect the app to your account, the app authorization page will show you a warning if the app would consume your team's data transport API call limit. If it doesn't show the warning, it will not consume it.
