Is there a way to get images from a user's Dropbox folder to Cloudinary automatically?

  Cloudinary currently does not support automatic syncing images via a Dropbox folder. 

  A script can be created for uploading images to Cloudinary from a Dropbox folder. If the images are available in a public URL, you can specify a remote HTTP URL as the 'file' parameter of our upload API. Cloudinary will automatically download the image from this remote URL and you will be able to transform it as you wish. 

  In addition, we support adding Cloudinary's fetch URL as a prefix to any URL for dynamically transforming remote images and delivering through a CDN, see our blog post for more details:  http://cloudinary.com/blog/delivering_all_your_websites_images_through_a_cdn

  Here's a sample fetch URL that creates a 150x150 crop focused on Jennifer’s face ('g_face') and with rounded corners of 20 pixels ('r_20') and generates the following image:

  Thanks Orly, we'll have a think about using that approach.
