[Building Sakai] Limited access to Dropbox tool

[Daniel Merino]

Dear community,

in the past this question has been sent to the list several times and I 
think that it never was answered, but I will try again, just in case 
that somebody has solved it with some tool or trick in recent versions 
of Sakai.

Dropbox tool has a great feature that is the automation: each time a new 
student user is created, he can inmediately upload resources to his 
dropbox folder.

However, the administration of Dropbox tool is all-or-nothing. 
Dropbox.maintain permission gives full control over it. Access can't be 
delimited with sections and every instructor or TA can see every folder.

This limit disables the tool for some common use cases, i.e. a 
tutor-student relationship where one tutor should not see the other 
tutors folders, or the management of final degree projects.

Some intermediate role that could only see the folders of students 
assigned to his section should fix all these use cases.

I wonder if somebody has overtaken this limitation of Dropbox and I 
would love to know how could I do the same.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.
Best regards.
