Three devices limit and API access
I have several apps that sync data through Dropbox — things like password manager, note-taking app, etc., all logged in through OAuth and using API. Do they count against three devices limit, or it on...
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!

Thank you very much for the clarification, this was exactly what I was looking for.
