Picture this: you’ve been working on a system for a university and you need to build a feature that receives and stores files so that professors can have access to articles and projects sent by their students. It's possible, for example, to upload documents to Dropbox Paper, automatically making them available to a group of users so they can go through a flow of reviewing and commenting all within the same resource. While the same basic features that have been around from the very beginning are all still there-storing, organizing, and sharing files-there are some really cool new features in Dropbox’s API. These features can be used ad hoc, they can be managed by employees, or they can be tightly integrated into business apps. Now, as you well know, Dropbox has a set of powerful features that provides companies with the ability to share and manage collaborative content in a central location. For all intents and purposes of this article, it’ll come in handy, as you can quickly try the integration we’re going to be talking about yourself.

You can take it for a spin for free, and keep spinnin’ it forever for your personal projects. Really quickly, before we dive in, OutSystems is a high-performance low-code platform intended for developing and delivering enterprise web and mobile applications with a single codebase running in the cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments.

This article will provide you with a brief overview of the new Dropbox API 2.0 capabilities and show you how you can make use of them with OutSystems.
