It would be nice to have wrappers on top of _request for the various methods exposed by the Dropbox API, just like the current getInfo (for /account/info ).
See for example the dropbox-js project on Google Code ( http://code.google.com/p/dropbox-js/source/browse/trunk/dropbox.js ) or for dropbox-node here on github ( https://github.com/evnm/dropbox-node )
