Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello,
Can you tell me how Dropbox client works? Because whenever I made changes on Dropbox Server it sync data with my desktop immediately. I want to create my own client and perform sync same as dropbox client using Dropbox API. So please can you provide some example on dropbox client sync operation.

I can add that you need to use the /list_folder/longpoll API for being notified about changes in Dropbox files or folders.
The drawback is that you need to upload or download the whole file for any change, no matter if it has 1 GB and only changed two bytes.
And about being notified about changes in the Windows file system, read this.
Thank You for your Help.
