You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Video HLS and Different formats
https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#media leads directy to a file, in source quality I assume.
What I want to know is:
Is HLS available for content in dropbox for the API users?
If yes, which APIs are used to gain access to HLS streams?
I'm guessing /media returns a progressive download stream, Is trans-coded PD stream in H.264/AAC format available?

The /media endpoint does return the original file. The Dropbox API doesn't currently offer a way to get HLS or transcoded streams, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
