title: WebApp that uses Dropbox for storage of videos and PDF
body: <p>We're building a website that essentially allows you to record a video of you reading off a PDF that can be accessed by other people.</p>
  
  <p>The kicker is that the client wants us to store (and access via the webapp) these videos and pdfs on the user's <strong>personal</strong> dropbox account.</p>
  
  <p>Is this even possible? Honestly, this just went over my head and although DropBox's API documentation looks like it could be able to handle this functionality it doesn't sound like this is something that DropBox should be used for. </p>
  
  <p>So here are my questions (apart from the initial, "is it possible?"):</p>
  
  <p><em>If</em> this is possible, aside from the individual storage limit, what other disadvantages would this setup have over getting and paying for an actual server?</p>
  
  <p>Are there specific things I should be aware of that might be against DropBox's TOS? I've read the TOS and it doesn't look like this would be prohibited but we can't be too sure right?</p>
  
  <p>PS. if it matters this is going to be built on Wordpress / PHP. </p>
