<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I've been looking into using Dropbox's API to use Dropbox as a storage backend for ownCloud. Unfortunately, Dropbox's API setup requires an app key to access the API. The app key is tied to a developer account on Dropbox and to receive production status the app needs to be reviewed by Dropbox. I don't believe it's a good option to have a single account for ownCloud, because an unknown user could abuse Dropbox's terms and conditions with the storage backend. There may also be access limits that I'm unaware of. Forcing sys admins to apply for their own app key seems to be a bad option as well.
