    Hah...😁 Everything and nothing.

    Dropbox API, used either directly or through some SDK, provides access to client account content. You, with your code, can list that content, read it, write there, etc. If you want to sync something (or any other particular operation - representable as a sequence of elementary API operations), creation of proper algorithm is your responsibility. You can NOT just call some function to do your work for you! 🙂

    Nice learning and good luck.

    If I could do this I would ask you a question.

    you can send me a sample preferably with vb6

    I have the Dropbox application installed on my computer, it does this well

     

     

    Like this

    SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "@string/app_name") ' NEW in v3.0!!!
    AddApplicationText(
    <activity android:name="com.dropbox.sync.android.DbxAuthActivity" />
    <activity
      android:name="com.dropbox.client2.android.AuthActivity"
      android:launchMode="singleTask" >
      <intent-filter>
        <data android:scheme="db-YOURAPPKEY" /> <!-- NEED TO UPDATE -->
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <service
      android:name="com.dropbox.sync.android.DbxSyncService"
      android:enabled="true"
      android:exported="false"
      android:label="Dropbox Sync" />
      )
