    <description>&lt;P&gt;It can deduplicate as it keeps track of all of the chunks of files it has for deduplication. You dont so you cant.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Suggestion for Bulk Upload and Download API</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Suggestion-for-Bulk-Upload-and-Download-API/m-p/58709#M1848</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Currently, if i were to upload or download 100+ to 1000+ files to/from Dropbox, one have to call upload and download for each file.  Also, such upload and download are not compressed (not supported in api.dropbox.com's HTTP header.   &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I think Dropbox would benefit many if it supports a bulk upload and download capability with compression.   Imagine one can upload a zip file that contains multiple files and folders, when complete, simply ask Dropbox to expand the zip file.   Similarly, provide a list of files and folders to Dropbox, and ask to zip and download to local.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Dropbox's native application can do upload / download multiple times faster than the API upload/download, I would bet that Dropbox has that functions but keep it to themselves.  Also, I think Dropbox perform de-duplicaton locally and remotely to avoid some of the unnecessary upload or download, i.e., it can simple replicate locally or remotely during synchronisation.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for posting! I'm sending these along as feature requests.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Great!  I would love to see them soon.  Would be great if you can offer "compression - gzip" upload and download thru the API, and bulk upload/download in compression mode.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think zipping up files is a bad idea since files can be added, deleted, or renamed at any time.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Are you under the impression that text and log files are not already compressed during transmission? I just tested with a 200MB text file, and the amount of network activity was much smaller than the amount of disk that was being read. This is indicative of compression occurring on a per file basis. Compression might make sense for text files, but not for archives, images, and videos. It just adds an unnecessary CPU overhead. &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sun, just curious, which API did you test it on?  &lt;/P&gt;</description>
