      <description>&lt;P&gt;Folks;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm brand new and just assessing the API but&amp;nbsp;have this question:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I see that Dropbox API does not directly support appending text to an existing file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If I want to accomplish that task it would seem that I would 1) download the original file; 2)extract the contents;&amp;nbsp;3)&amp;nbsp;append my new content to this extraction; 4) write this new combined&amp;nbsp;content&amp;nbsp;back to a new file; 5)upload to dropbox with the same name as the existing original file... &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for any insights!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Steve&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Will this strategy work in the v2API as it stands today? &amp;nbsp;Can anyone provide a link to the most relevant API calls?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, the API unfortunately doesn't offer a way to append directly (I'll send this along as a feature request though), so you'd need to download and upload the edited content.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;First, to download the existing file, you would use &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/download&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After you make your modifications locally, you would then upload the new version using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload" target="_blank"&gt;/2/files/upload&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation" target="_self"&gt;the official SDKs&lt;/A&gt; if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
