Dropbox

[mstrickland]

Have you given any thought to a Dropbox API to load or save files?

I assume one could be developed with the network features if you had the time and knowledge.

I have an idea for a game that i will start developing soon but it would be very cool if the user could customize a couple of images. A cool way to accomplish this would be Dropbox.

Lots of other data saving and data exchange could be done via Dropbox.

Thanks,

Mark

Does Dropbox even support automatically managing your files through scripts? I’ve never even thought about that, it seems pretty geared toward managing your files through graphical interfaces.

Anyway, what you want to do is generally done by storing data in a database on a server and then communicating with that server (or rather scripts on the server) through your app. I’ve recently been messing around with Google App Engine for this purpose because I happen to really like Python; Amazon Web Services is another good option for this and I’ve seen mention of other options in other threads on this forum.
