With the new sync API, developers can let their application work with Dropbox as if it were a local file system, and even work offline. They simply need to add the new API into an app, and the magic happens. According to Sean Lynch, Product Manager for Dropbox, “Our mission is to let users access their data wherever they are. The Sync API lets Android and iOS developers focus on the core of the app and leave all the complexities of syncing and storage to us”.
If you want to see the Sync API in action before adding to your app, check out the examples directory in the Android SDK. There you can find a simple "Hello Dropbox" example which demonstrates the code in this tutorial, as well as a note taking app that uses the Sync API to store notes. There is also a Util directory where you'll find useful utility classes which you can examine or copy into your own app.
