https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#media leads directy to a file, in source quality I assume. 

What I want to know is:

Is HLS available for content in dropbox for the API users?

If yes, which APIs are used to gain access to HLS streams?

I'm guessing /media returns a progressive download stream, Is trans-coded PD stream in H.264/AAC format available?

The /media endpoint does return the original file. The Dropbox API doesn't currently offer a way to get HLS or transcoded streams, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Need more support?
