Hi, thanks for useful Dropbox.

I have same problem.
So, does the future version of Dropbox support `content://` URI?
I hope that Dropbox returns `content://` URI that works fine without `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission such as sharing files by `FileProvider`. I really hope so.
I don't want that the my apps require more permission that make users feel uneasy.
And then, I think that more users use Dropbox as the place to save files of more apps. Because since Kitkat many apps use `FileProvider` and they don't read/write the file  by oneself.
