Dropadox API v1

Automate your cloud backups

Upload, list, and download files from scripts or backup tools. API keys use the same account storage and permissions as the dashboard.

API keys

Treat keys like passwords. Each key grants access to your files and is only displayed once.

Create an account

Authentication

Send your key in the Authorization header. All automation routes are under /api/v1 and return JSON unless downloading a file.

Authorization: Bearer ddx_your_api_key

Quick start

Upload a file to the root of your account:

curl -X POST "https://dropadox.sytes.net/api/v1/files" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DROPADOX_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@./backup.zip"

Add -F "folderId=123" to upload into a folder.

Endpoints

Method	Path	Purpose
GET	/api/v1/storage	Read used, available, and maximum storage in bytes.
GET	/api/v1/folders	List folders available to the account.
POST	/api/v1/folders	Create a folder from JSON: { name, parentId? }.
GET	/api/v1/files?folderId=ID	List root files, or files in one folder when folderId is supplied.
POST	/api/v1/files	Upload multipart field file, with optional folderId.
GET	/api/v1/files/:fileId	Download a file by ID.

Simple backup flow

Call GET /api/v1/folders and choose or create a destination folder.
Upload each changed file with POST /api/v1/files.
Store the returned file ID so you can download or remove that version later.
Periodically call GET /api/v1/files?folderId=ID to verify what is stored.

curl "https://dropadox.sytes.net/api/v1/files?folderId=123" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DROPADOX_API_KEY"

Errors and safety
