Datastore API
The Dropbox Platform will also make use of new API called Datastore which will allow developers to store and sync app data. Meaning, when app is built with Datastore, it is updated across all devices and platform, both in offline and online modes. "Imagine a task-tracking app that works on both your iPhone and the web. If it's built with the Datastore API, you can check off items from your phone during a cross-country flight and add new tasks from your computer and Dropbox will make sure the changes don't clobber each other", the company writes in its blog.
Drop-ins
Other tool introduced with the Dropbox Platform is the Drop-ins, which lets developers to integrate their apps with Dropbox (which can be done with just a few lines of codes). Drop-ins has two components - chooser and saver: the chooser allows users to take files stored on their dropbox, within the app, while the saver allows users access their Dropbox account for saving data, with just a simple click. Yahoo! Mail, Shutterstock, and Mailbox already makes use of the "Drop-ins" tools.
