Hey there -o,
At first, if you're trying to store files into your Dropbox account, you can simply add them using the website/desktop app or the mobile app.
If you want to be able to view and delete files in your Dropbox account using another third party app though, you'll have to contact them for more info as they may be able to provide you with more relevant steps.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to give us a nudge. Thanks!

Hey again -o,
I've brought your posts under your original thread so as to keep troubleshooting consistent.
I've also moved your thread here where some like-minded users may be able to share some ideas on this with you.
In the meantime, don't hesitate to give us a shout if you have any other questions. Cheers!

-o Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers
For example, to upload files you can use /2/files/upload, to download files you would use /2/files/download, and to deleted files you can use /2/files/delete_v2. Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.
There's also a Getting Started guide that may be helpful.
