Because D4B is integral to some of the practice's Line of Business systems they would prefer anything but Dropbox. They'd prefer OneDrive because that's where they keep their personal stuff - e.g. the backup of their calibre libraries. They use Office365, as a result they have personal 1TB Onedrive accounts.
We've found that some Dropbox 'enabled' apps don't play nicely in this D4B installation, so we're somewhat wary of them. The LoB apps are bespoke, so it could be that they're the 'fly in the ointment', but... you know the rest.

TBH I have no idea. I am currently using the Dropbox SDK for authenticating and fetching files, but I intend to change to using their REST API. From what I read, "Dropbox for Business" is different from "Dropbox", using different REST endpoints. It also seems that apps require different permissions and the like. Handling this complexity doesn't seem to be somewhere I want to go.
Also FWIW: today I signed up for Onedrive and am looking at how to use their REST api. I am able to authenticate. Next is being able to fetch files. Onedrive has some very strange authentication rules. For example, authentication seems to give 1 hour (clock time) of privilege. I don't know what happens when that hour expires. It is hard to believe that whatever happens will be good.
