Thank you for the reply.

 

Yes, I need to append data to an existing file on Dropbox. Uploading entire file each time is not an option for me because the data to be appended comes in as an input to my method. So all I have is a byte array which needs to be appended to a file on Dropbox.

Thanks for following up. The API doesn't offer the ability to append like that unfortunately. I'll pass this along as a feature request.
