As far as I know, in Postbox when I tried it, the Dropbox integration 
was pretty simple and mostly a convenience feature, saving the user from 
manually doing the following tasks with a Drag and Drop:

- Copy file to user's Dropbox folder
- Obtain the file's Share URL by logging into Dropbox service, 
indicating the file, and specifying the email addresses it wants to be 
shared with
- Paste the Share URL in e-mail message

I guess it could be more complex than this, but it doesn't sound like 
you need a lot of the Dropbox API to just do this operation. At least 
Postbox didn't do much other than this. Eg. If you decide to remove the 
attachment from the email, it doesn't remove it from the Dropbox folder, 
so its not a super complete Dropbox integration.
