The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to access or add comments unfortunately, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Definitely need programmatic access to comments: ability to retrieve so that reports can be generated (and this includes reports incorporating comments, and the text snippets they are commenting on, across multiple files), and ability to pull comments in from other sources.

      Greg - any update on this after a year?  The need to get comments (user generated content) when collaborating on a project is really important.  And copy paste for anything over a few files is pretty inadequate.

        Jeremiah A.2 No, I'm afraid I don't have an update on this request.
