- Thanks for clarifying! The API will always service whatever API calls are made as soon as possible, so if you want to defer operations like this, you should build that in to your app's code. That is, just have your app itself wait to make those API calls, e.g., to create a folder, upload files, etc, until whenever you want them done.
I am talking about dropbox servers.. basically, the files should stay local and be synced to dropbox on demand.
