Sync Api shutdown

[Ludovic]

Hi,

I've been using the Dropbox Sync Api for Android for a long time now and it was really great.

It is shutting down in June and I was starting to read the docs for the v2 core api, but it seems there is no equivalent to the Sync api (a background service which checks for new/modified files and upload/download these files automatically in the background). 

Do I really have to code all of this myself ??? Is there any simple way to port the v1 sync api to v2 ?

Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for the post! Unfortunately, the API v2 Java SDK doesn't offer the same background syncing/offline functionality that the Sync SDK did, so you will need to implement whatever of those features you need. I'll send this along as a feature request. Apologies I don't have a better answer for you!
