dropbox API call upload limits! confirming some things and feedback
EDIT2 (2021): I posted a follow up question as a reply here. Seeking clarification around the different API limits between different types of Dropbox account and the very confusing plans comparison ...
Hi all
I know this is a very old thread but just wanted to update it as I came across is when I performed a search.
Dropbox has now increased in API limits to 1 Billion calls on it's business teams.

This should be more than enough to get all your data into Dropbox as fast as possible.
ok I found some sort of business PDF online that looks meant Dropbox sales people...and that's been the best source of information on what this is. Not the documentation for developers, but something meant for Dropbox sales people lol.
It sounds like this is supposed to apply to "Data migration and on-premises backup partners" and custom apps. So if I'm a mobile app for editing a specific type of file that can be used by free/upgraded/business users does that mean this limit shouldn't apply to me? that makes the most sense. But the document also says that this is a whitelist and not a blacklist...what's the procedure for getting on the whitelist? just having the person that owns the API keys email Dropbox?
happy that I think I've figured out this should only apply to special data-hungry big business apps, but still just confused about the lack of documentation on this and how to get on the whitelist.
