Binary Diff ?
Seems so stupid to have to upload a whole file when using the API even if 1 byte has changed.
Are you able to offer a way of updating a certain block so we as developers can do the binary diff our end and upload the parts that have changed.
- Thanks for the post! The Dropbox API doesn't currently offer this, but we'll consider it a feature request. I can't promise if or when that would be implemented and released though.

is there external access to the feature request, so that we can see whether and how it is being taken care of?

waltertross We don't have a public feature request tracker. This forum thread itself serves as reference to this request, and I'll follow up here if/when I have any update on this. I don't have any news to report on this feature request right now.
