    <description>&lt;P&gt;Not really. As new SDKs for API v2 come along, we'll probably be writing some more blog posts about how to use them to do common syncing tasks (like listening for changes). For now, I'd wait and watch the blog as the new API v2 develops.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;we are developing app in xamarin ios and we are using dropbox sync api component, As we know dropbox sync api will soon deprecated what alternative api/components api can we use to authenicate via dropbox app in ios.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Using the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;Core API&lt;/A&gt; is the recommended approach. There are existing iOS and .NET (third-party) libraries, and we will be building new ones for API v2 over the coming months. A preview of our Swift SDK just went out yesterday: &lt;A href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/05/try-out-swiftydropbox-the-new-swift-sdk-for-dropbox-api-v2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/05/try-out-swiftydropbox-the-new-swift-sdk-for-dropbox-api-v2/&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is it even possible to sync with the CoreAPI or is it really just a way of uploading and downloading files while the user waits? Or are you taking the SyncAPI and adding some of the features we had to the CoreAPI? I only just finished adding and deploying the Dropbox Sync API into my app when I found out about the discontinuation of it. 4 months work affected by that. Now I need to find an alternative solution.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Syncing generally means uploading and downloading files as well as getting notifications when files change. The Core API does all of these things (and is in fact the same API that the Sync SDKs use under the hood).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ok I see. Then is there an example somewhere or guide that says "if you were doing this or that in the Sync API, you should be doing this instead with the Core API?"&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Well most of the blog posts that I've seen about the v2 API are geared towards REST calls. I'm working with iOS and don't care much for the REST API. But I'll keep an eye open for it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So far, the only SDK we've released (in preview) for API v2 is actually one for iOS (written in Swift): &lt;A href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/05/try-out-swiftydropbox-the-new-swift-sdk-for-dropbox-api-v2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/05/try-out-swiftydropbox-the-new-swift-sdk-for-dropbox-api-v2/&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;In the past you are often wrote that "new SDKs will come along". So, after the launch of v2 API in November 2015 it seems nothing happened right now. There are still just 4 new SDKs. What about an ObjC SDK for v2? Swift is new and buggy and not every developer wants to use it. ObjC is still around (and will be) on a very &lt;STRONG&gt;large code&lt;/STRONG&gt; base. I really, really miss the Sync API (as so many others already mentioned).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When we can use a new and modern ObjC-SDK?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Vang,&amp;nbsp;if you're migrating an existing app, or starting a new app, we recommend using one of the official SDKs for API v2:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation" target="_self"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They don't offer quite the same functionality as the deprecated Sync API though, but they do offer more control over the API calls you can make. So, if you want to offer offline caching, for example, you'd need to implement that in your app's code.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi Greg,&lt;BR /&gt;regarding this question. What happens if I have a sqlite file stored in a Dropbox folder I want to share with multiple apps (not at the same time)? Do I have to upload the whole file every time a user adds/modifies a record? In that case, is the upload smart enough to upload only what has changed of the file, or does it uploads the complete file?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks.</description>

      <description>Seems like I have to use terminal, install and learn new tools to simply try out v2. Is there an example in the Objective-C SDK for API v2 where I can open the project and build it for iPhone in a couple of minutes?</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;HI William, there's a sample app here, in three versions, one for each supported installation method:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/tree/master/Examples/DBRoulette" target="_blank"&gt;https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c/tree/master/Examples/DBRoulette&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Those are set up for use with&amp;nbsp;package managers though, per the &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#sdk-distribution" target="_self"&gt;installation instructions&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We highly&amp;nbsp;recommend using one of the supported package managers, as they make it much easier to install and keep libraries up to date. I believe it's possible to use the library without using a package manager at all, but we don't have documentation for that in particular. I'll send this along as a request for that.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Thanks, so the answer is no easy example is available. I most likely will be moving my customers to another service since you abandoned such a simple API. Obviously we can expect more of the same in the future. Please pass that on if you can.</description>
