Check sync status of dropbox app, programmatically via c++ or api
I wonder if it is possible to tell when dropbox is syncing programmatically, ideally indirectly via c++ for example let's assume that when dropbox is syncing it writes a tinly .txt or .xml etc file...

Dropbox StaffNo, unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer a way to check the client status programmatically, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
I am currently using Windows SRV for this project unfortunately

Thanks for sharing that additional information Здравко . Please note though that that socket itself is not officially documented and is not considered an officially supported API for third parties to use to interact with the Dropbox desktop client, so I can't recommend using it. (It's meant for the dropbox.py script we offer for managing the client on Linux via the CLI. One could technically program against the commands offered by that script, but it's not meant as a programmatic interface like the API is.)
