Can files be uploaded directly from the browser?

Yes. We implement the Dropbox Chooser and Saver for client-side file selection and the API for server-side uploads with progress tracking.

How do you handle large file uploads?

We use Dropbox's chunked upload API for files over 150MB with resumable sessions, progress tracking, and automatic retry on failure.

Can it sync files between Dropbox and our system?

Yes. Webhook-driven sync keeps your application in sync with Dropbox changes using cursor-based delta queries for efficiency.
