FileExists ... on cloud?

[jaja714]

What is the most efficient way for AutoIt to check for the existence (and potentially basic properties) of cloud-based (googleDrive, dropBox, etc...) files?

Both dropbox and OneDrive put a local folder in the profile in order to synch files (if you're using the desktop client). So it would be a simple call to FileExists:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

MsgBox($MB_OK, "", (FileExists(@UserProfileDir & "\DropBox\After.jpg") ? "Found it!" : "Nope!"))

Well, I'm familiar with using FileExists for local files but  I'm actually looking for a way to determine when the "sync" is complete.  So, the question remains...

File this under information that would have been nice in your first post.

I know I have used this in the past, but it has been a long time. Don't know if it works under the latest release of DP:
