View users synced files in app folder

Josh R.12

I got this idea off www.xcut.me so i know its possible I just have no idea how to make it work. I have made the app and incorporated it into my website. so far you just give it permission to access its own folder and it creates the Dropbox/Apps/ExampleApp folder directory on the users computer. Now I want users to be able to copy files in to the "ExampleApp" folder and have them synced so i can view/download them on my dropbox.

Any help would be awesome

Is the idea that you want to copy files from other users' Dropboxes into your own? If so, you could use https://www.dropbox.com/developers/webhooks to listen for when they make file changes and then https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#copy_ref and https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#fileops-copy to copy the changed files into your Dropbox.

(P.S. http://www.xcut.me doesn't seem to exist, but xcut.me does.)
