SFTP Connection for Web Developers
Hello! I would like to setup a Dropbox account so that all my cPanel files are available to view, edit and upload through my dropbox account.
Basically, I have a server running cPanel with a file manager, a Dropbox account and Sublime Text.
What I want to do is have all the files on the server available on Dropbox in real time (using the desktop app) and be able to edit and upload/download those files using Sublime.

Dropbox doesn't offer an FTP interface, but it does offer an API over HTTPS that you can use to upload and download files, among other operations.
You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers
For example, to upload files, you could use /2/files/upload:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload
That's the link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoint itself, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation
Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.
