Saver API
I have a website. I want to store files from clients in dropbox servers for security reasons.
So, I want to have a Form with some fields and the Saver API button for upload.
When my clients use the Save API button and upload a file, will the file reside ( be it in any folder like tmp or format like a name with tmp extension etc)on my web site server and before getting transferred to dropbox servers.

The Dropbox Saver is a way for web apps to allow end-users to save files to their own Dropbox accounts. The web app would provide the file(s) by supplying one Internet-accessible URL per file. Exactly where you host the files is up to you, as long as they are accessible on the Internet so that Dropbox can access them when needed for the Saver.
When prompted with the Saver, the user would decide if they want to save the file(s) into their Dropbox account. If the user does so, Dropbox then retrieves the file(s) from the Internet-accessible URL(s), and then saves the file(s) into the user's account (that is, whichever account the end-user is signed in to on www.dropbox.com at the time). The end-user can also choose which folder in their account to save the file(s) to.
You can try out a demo of the Saver in the documentation here.
