Backup Status Report

I'd like a report which shows the current status of Dropbox Backup for all of the machines I administer:

  • Enabled / Disabled
  • [Username]/folder(s)
    • This is important because some of our machines are shared
    • If we can further differentiate "Enabled / Disabled" by "Enabled on some accounts", that'd be amazing, but I'd need to be able to blacklist some accounts: I don't want a local admin account (which we expect to have no persistent data) to show up in the list. If we can't do that, then just [Username]/folder(s) would be sufficient for my usecase
  • Storage space used

I understand that there's a Dropbox Backup activity report, but that is (in practice) impossible to parse into current status. (Yes, I'm crazy: I tried.)
