Three devices limit and API access

    It sounds like you're referring to the three device limit for Basic accounts documented here.

    That limit applies to the devices that can be connected to the Dropbox product itself, via official Dropbox applications, such as the official Dropbox desktop client or mobile applications.

    This limit does not apply to third party apps that to connect to Dropbox via the Dropbox API. Users of third party API apps can connect them to the Dropbox API from as many instances/devices as they want.

    Hope this helps!
