I need dropbox APIs which can create a .tar.gz file and append some data to it.

This isn't currently available in the Dropbox API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request!
Hi,
Is there any update regarding the addition of the API which can help me create and append a .tar.gz file on dropbox?

No update. Could you clarify what exactly you want? You can store a .tar.gz file in Dropbox, but you need to create the file yourself.
Dropbox doesn't support appending to existing files, so you would need to download the file, make your change, and then upload it again.
Appending to a .tar.gz file doesn't make a lot of sense to me, though... wouldn't the resulting file no longer be a valid .tar.gz file?
