Replicate Dropbox Transfer Functionality VIA API
I really enjoy the use of the Dropbox Transfer functionality to send copies of files to end users that may or may not have a Dropbox account, require that the use a password, be notified that the file was downloaded and have the access to the files deactivated after a deadline. My understanding is that there is currently no way via the Dropbox API to automate this process using Dropbox Transfer. (If I am mistaken, I would love to be shown how I can do this) In the meantime, while we wait for Dropbox to expand the API to cover Transfer, it has been suggested to me that I just create folders and share them to the intended users. A) Is there a way to password protect these folders for a particular user to access them? Especially if they may or may not have an existing Dropbox Account? B) Is there a way to be notified if the files are accessed or downloaded from these folders? C) Is there a way at creation to set a date that would expire/deactivate the share on a particular date?
