Where's the API? Dropbox has a tremendous ecosystem going for it. I'm not sure how prevalent it is on Android, but pretty much all iOS text and PDF editors have Dropbox integration and their new sync SDK is only going to push integration even higher.
I can't say I'm a very heavy Dropbox user, so I don't have many complaints (if any) about their offering, but if you want to get into the space you have to address those complaints. A shiny UI and better pricing can only get you so far and there's no way they're enough to beat out a competitor as entrenched as Dropbox.
- renownedmedia 14y agoActually, everything the app does is through a RESTful API. This API is private and undocumented (for now). I can't make any promises as to what we will do with it in the future...
- martingordon 14y agoA private and undocumented API doesn't do much for the people who develop or rely on one or more of the several hundred (thousand?) iOS apps that already integrate Dropbox.
- akinnee 14y agoTo clarify, there are definite plans to document and release the Copy API. The only thing we can't make promises about is when that will happen (soon?).
- samstave 14y agoSmall nit-pick on the About page: "Share view-only or let people to sync and edit" Grammar be bad.
