Categories of API partners to apply API limit

There's 2 types of dropbbox partners which have different API limit:

  • Platform partners (excluding data transport): Unlimited API calls to SIEM, DLP, IDM, DRM, and dozens of platform partner categories
  • Data transport: 25,000 API calls per month

If you need to transport large amounts of data to Dropbox on an ongoing basis, contact your Dropbox account representative to discuss options to extend your API access.

 

The definition confuses me, as every app connects to dropbox always transport data to and from dropbox in a sense.

I am considering using CloudHQ to copy data from my dropbox (can be upgraded to business plan at a point) to google drive, but not sync from google drive back to dropbox. I also want to use an app that I write to upload files to dropbox without using dropbox desktop app.

Could some dropbox staffer please let me know which of these apps will be imposed the 25k API limit? 

 

Thank you for your support.

    We don't have a list of these apps available to see which are affected, but if/when you connect the app to your account, the app authorization page will show you a warning if the app would consume that upload API call limit.

      Thank you Greg. Is it possible to check how many API calls an app has made if that app is now created by myself, or how many calls I have left?
