    <description>&lt;P&gt;Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations, to/from Dropbox, without having the official Dropbox app installed. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For example, to upload a file to Dropbox, you can use the /2/files/upload endpoint:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That's a link to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:&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;Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You do need to have the user manually authorize the app initially, but once they do, you can store and re-use the resulting access token/refresh token for further API calls without more manual user interaction. You can find information on how that works in the OAuth Guide:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Saving files through Dropbox API</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Saving-files-through-Dropbox-API/m-p/434337#M1352</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to save files automatically without any user interaction through the Dropbox API?&amp;nbsp; I have a server that generates files that need to be saved on Dropbox.&amp;nbsp; If I don't have the Dropbox app installed on the server, can I make an API call and save the files to a specific directory on Dropbox?&amp;nbsp; If so, how do I do this?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
