    <description>&lt;P&gt;No, unfortunately&amp;nbsp;Dropbox doesn't offer a way to check the client status programmatically,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Check sync status of dropbox app, programmatically via c++ or api</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Check-sync-status-of-dropbox-app-programmatically-via-c-or-api/m-p/294564#M153</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I wonder if it is possible to tell when dropbox is syncing programmatically,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ideally indirectly via c++&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;for example let's assume that when dropbox is syncing it writes a tinly .txt or .xml etc file somewhere in its programFiles directory&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;a developer can check that file (read only) and get dropbox status?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;or via the dropbox api??&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;kind regards..&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Actually it's possible, but is platform dependent and available only for Dropbox on Linux. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@F55D1311E4D274BF094217A54A6087D3/images/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /&gt; Take a look in the socket "~/.dropbox/command_socket".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/771535"&gt;@Kyri&lt;/a&gt;, If your platform is Linux, you are happy, otherwise - have to hope something will change.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for sharing that additional information&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/422790"&gt;@Здравко&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;. Please note though that that socket itself is not officially documented and is not considered an officially supported API for third parties to use to interact with the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox desktop client, so I can't&amp;nbsp;recommend using it. (It's meant &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/linux-commands#commands" target="_self"&gt;for the dropbox.py script&lt;/A&gt; we offer for managing the client on Linux via the CLI. One could technically program against the commands offered by that script, but it's not meant as a programmatic interface like &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers" target="_self"&gt;the API&lt;/A&gt; is.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hope you can add to the feature request, "~/.dropbox/command_socket" related, also support for "~/.dropbox/iface_socket" socket. The second one isn't only available on Linux, but also on Mac. Documentation for, already available, interfaces would be helpful and could meet many applications in practice. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@F55D1311E4D274BF094217A54A6087D3/images/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /&gt; These interfaces wasn't changed for least 4-5 years (might be more), so it's finally time to be documented (and got supported officially).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I know it's been a little more than a year; but I would like a programmatic way to access the Windows sync app status.&amp;nbsp; Is there a way for the community to find out what feature requests are being considered and weigh in on them in some way?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Posting on the forum like this is a&amp;nbsp;good way to weigh in and indicate that you'd like a particular feature to be implemented. I'll follow up here with any updates, but I don't have any new on this particular feature request.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Please count me also in as someone who would love to see an API to check the sync status of DropBox. I am surprised that such a general requirement was not implemented yet...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kind regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Friedrich&lt;/P&gt;</description>
