astybiz Are you offering to help Alex, or, are you looking for help with uploading and downloading on the Dropbox API?

The Dropbox API does offer the ability to upload and download files. To download files, you would use /2/files/download:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download

And to upload files, you can use /2/files/upload:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload

Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, 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. 

If you have a question about using the Dropbox API, please open a new thread with the details:
