Dropship is a set of API utilities for use with Dropbox accounts. The utilities use Dropbox's deduplication facilities to allow files, identified by their Dropbox hashes, to be copied from Dropbox's servers.

Dropbox claims that Dropship will no longer function due to back-end changes they have made to their service.

Controversy

Dropship was the target of an attack by Dropbox that attempted to shut down the project and remove it from the Internet. The mechanism of Dropbox's attempt to shut down the Dropship project generated both online discussion and negative press for the company.
