This part of the talk is probably the part I have the least interest in, honestly. It would be cool, yes, to act like a first-party Dropbox client and have full access to my account via open tools. But in the meantime, they do have a python API and SDK: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/python https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/sdks/python This lets me setup a sub-folder under my account with no more than python present on a machine and perform upload / downloads of content. Nothing processor architecture-specific about it. And with python modules like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog https://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog it's pretty trivial to trigger a re-upload of local content when it changes. The API provides counterparts for detecting changes in remote content (the /delta command). In fact, this is how I've got Dropbox access running on my gen1 AppleTV :) I'm more generally interested in the process of reversing of the code and protocols.
