I'd really like this feature to do development on device.

Is the DropN900 the only opensource project with the sync ability (and hasn't anybody ported it to N9)?

I'm a developer (with not much experience in Dropbox or web stuff, more experience on OpenGL related stuff with C++). I might be interested to try working on some solutions for syncing with paths. (But don't count on me doing it, as I have other projects.)

What would be the best starting point for a (preferably) C++ app. (Can be command line or GUI, I don't care. As long as it's opensource so that there's something that works already). Should I just try porting DropN900 (which is written in python)... Is there some reason why that can't be done? Or is there some other project or example that could get me started?

DronN9 has already been ported to harmattan, so there is no problem using dropbox from 3rd party client. The problem is that its not integrated part of the system. If I have some spare time someday, I might give a shot for writing accounts plugin that uses dropbox V1 API's, which can be used to replace the system plugin.

I'm already doing that for Dropian. Care to merge?

Sync is not yet allowed generally as an API extension without raping servers and battery.

DropN9, last time I tried, didn't do syncing with the paths preserved. It didn't actually do syncing at all, only download and upload of files.

What I need is an app that pulls an entire folder from Dropbox, and preserves the paths. And when I want it to, it will upload this entire folder back to Dropbox. It doesn't need to be "always on" syncing. A manual upload button and download button would be fine, as long as I don't have to tell it each time to sync these and those files.

I don't need any other kind of Dropbox integration.

I that case you just want to use juiceme's rsynch script "cloudsync.sh". Or if you want to use dropbox, then you need to do some coding yourself

Use some externel dropbox client that are avail in ovi store. Buildtin dropbox uses old api which doesnt work anymore, and Nokia decided not to release a fix for it.
