Hi Mike
We have quite a nifty integration with Dropbox in our sites (like http://labs.europeana.eu) that are running on the Bolt platform.
I suspect it's too customised to be of much use, but there's some code at https://github.com/europeana/Europeana-Labs/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=dropbox (which seems to be a helper written by this guy - https://github.com/rossriley?tab=repositories)
I can hopefully put you in touch with someone at Bolt who can explain how it works though, if you're interested.
Cheers, James

Subject: Serving images from or via Dropbox
Hi all
Question: are any of you serving your (collection) images direct from
Dropbox..?
Or: do you have a nifty way of syncing between Dropbox and your web
hosting? (Preferably a way which isn't "use sync software on my desktop"
but something server-side which spots file changes and SSH's them up to
hosting or similar)
My assumption would be that direct serving is kind of risky - all it
takes is someone to delete a file or Dropbox to get gnarly about their
bandwidth limits or X other thing to change and your site is full of
broken images. But I've yet to find a solid looking solution for the
sync option, short of running GoodSync on my Mac - which is an obvious
weakpoint in the chain..
I want to leave Dropbox in the equation because it's so obviously a
great way of people to digitise and share images internally. Just the
web-side bit which is leaving me a bit stumped.
Thoughts...?
Mike
