"Say I want to have a simple photo uploading service: file into a folder and have those files automatically processed by you guys to post to Ars," said Gross. "There are weird states: if there's some kind of processing state, how do I know that's completed? How do we create the appropriate set of APIs without making it too onerous on the user experience?" I already set up a simple photo uploading service via Dropbox without the API, by watching subfolders of the box@ourdoings.com Dropbox folder for new files. I never felt the need to do processing of those files in place. Where I'm looking for more API support is handling shared folder requests. There's manual setup involved for new users that I'd like to eliminate.
