yes

dropbox or the box
https://www.dropbox.com
or https://www.box.com/‎

There's three options that I can think of...

1) Find a shell extension which would show up in the context menu.
2) Find another program that you can call from XY or an XY script. There might be one on here.
3) Create an XY script which uses Dropbox's API.

I'm interested in the last one but am currently not able to give it a try - sorry!

Hi TheQwerty,
Thanks for your help. Look forward to your script if you could spare your precious time.

This morning I took a very brief look at the Dropbox API, and while it seems it would be possible, I'm not sure what all this script would need to support. I also don't see where this script would be more useful than using Dropbox within a web browser.


So what exactly are you hoping to achieve here?
What are some use cases for this script?
