      <title>Can the API be used to force a sync while PC is asleep</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a python script running on a Windows server that writes a file to a local folder in the middle of the night, but dropbox does not sync until the next time I manually log into the box.&amp;nbsp; Is there a way to include an API call in my python script that will force an immediate sync as soon as my file is written without requiring any manual intervention?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The Dropbox API does not offer functionality for controlling the desktop client like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You may want to consider instead using the Dropbox API to upload the file, which is done by communicating directly with the Dropbox API servers (and not the local filesystem/client). We have &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python" target="_self"&gt;an official Python SDK&lt;/A&gt;, and the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/getting-started" target="_self"&gt;Getting Started&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-file-access-guide" target="_self"&gt;File Access&lt;/A&gt; guides may be helpful.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
