share and unshare folder via api
Hi;
I create dropbox accounts for my each customer and i'm sharing a folder with them.
They are making a payment to me monthly for these folder's content. I want a automatic web site.It will cancel automaticly the sharing with customer who don't make payment.And after payment, this folder will be active again.Is it possible via api?
I know the customers account's information ( mail, pass) because i sign up for customers

Dropbox does offer an API that you can use to manage shared folders, 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 share a folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-share_folder
Or to unshare a folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-unshare_folder
Those are the HTTP endpoints, but we recommend using an official SDK if one is available for your platform:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation
The SDKs will have corresponding methods for those endpoints.
