Any plans to add the new Dropbox Comments into the Core API?
In an earlier question I asked shared folders were mentioned as a possible beta item and a signup link was posted for whenever that might happen. Is there anything similar for Dropbox Comments?
The functionality we'd like to see would mainly be whatever comments support now.
The biggest ones would definitely be the ability to retrieve comments on a file through /metadata. We'd want to see which users made what comments.
The ability to create and delete comments.
And the ability to resolve comments.
We're using the Core API to open up Dropbox functionality in our workflow application to clients. We're doing the same thing with Box and finding that its API is significantly more robust. We don't have to worry about them offering GUI functionality without matching API functionality. As a result we're predicting that clients will generally go with Box if they don't already have Dropbox as their file storage provider of choice.
