Hi all

I'm using Guglielmo Braguglia's excellent Dropbox library 
(http://www.phoenixsea.ch/downloads/Livecode/phxDropboxLib.zip) to enable 
uploading and downloading files to the same Dropbox account from desktop (OSX 
and Windows) and mobile (iOS and Android) apps.

How I envisage it working is that a 'lead' customer buys the app and either 
links his/her app to an existing Dropbox account or else sets up a special 
account just for use by the app. Other users that want to share communication 
with the 'lead' customer can link their copies of the app by entering the 
'lead' customer's token key and token secret provided by Dropbox.

This means (with Guglielmo's library) I can offer group-wide, 
platform-independent communication between users of the app which seems pretty 
cool to me. The app is set up to Dropbox's 'sandbox' meaning it is limited to a 
specific folder within the special 'apps' folder in a Dropbox account. For all 
Dropbox experts out there does this sound like a sensible approach?

However there is one wrinkle - LiveCode hasn't implemented HTTP PUT on mobile 
yet and when writing a file to Dropbox from a mobile device we are limited to 
using HTTP POST - and I can't figure out (yep I've asked Guglielmo and he can't 
either) how to write a file to a sub-folder of the app's root folder on Dropbox 
from an app on a mobile device - I can do it from a desktop app when I can use 
PUT, but not from mobile when using POST

Any POST and/or Dropbox experts out there who could shed some light on the 
situation?

Kind regards

Dave
