About Dropbox

Dropbox is a cloud storage and file synchronization platform known for its reliable desktop sync client and broad device support. Business plans add team folders, admin controls, and extended version history. The Dropbox API (api.dropboxapi.com) enables developers to read, write, and manage files programmatically. Dropbox also offers Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) as a separate e-signature product with its own API. Dropbox serves individuals, small teams, and enterprises.
