Hm🤔... What about Dropbox API? 🧐 (HTTP calls in their nature).

Which API can be used to sync automatically?

[Здравко]

Hah...😁 Everything and nothing.

Dropbox API, used either directly or through some SDK, provides access to client account content. You, with your code, can list that content, read it, write there, etc. If you want to sync something (or any other particular operation - representable as a sequence of elementary API operations), creation of proper algorithm is your responsibility. You can NOT just call some function to do your work for you! 🙂

Nice learning and good luck.

If I could do this I would ask you a question.

you can send me a sample preferably with vb6

I have the Dropbox application installed on my computer, it does this well

Like this

SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "@string/app_name") ' NEW in v3.0!!!
AddApplicationText(
<activity android:name="com.dropbox.sync.android.DbxAuthActivity" />
<activity
  android:name="com.dropbox.client2.android.AuthActivity"
  android:launchMode="singleTask" >
  <intent-filter>
    <data android:scheme="db-YOURAPPKEY" /> <!-- NEED TO UPDATE -->
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>
</activity>
<service
  android:name="com.dropbox.sync.android.DbxSyncService"
  android:enabled="true"
  android:exported="false"
  android:label="Dropbox Sync" />
  )

While Dropbox doesn't have any samples for Visual Basic in particular, you can find a number of resources for using the Dropbox API in the documentation. You may want to read through the Getting Started guide first.
