I'd like to check the status, e.g. How many files left to upload. of a Dropbox account using the API in python. Is this possible?
You can't do it directly, but you can do it indirectly (sort of). What I do is place a dummy file in my Dropbox and have it sync to the server. At the very beginning of my script I delete the file locally and then wait for it to reappear. Once it has reappeared I have a good idea that Dropbox is connected and synced. It's not perfect because more files might be waiting to be synced, but that's the best I could come up with.
How do I check the sync status of a Dropbox account using the API?
