Hi Gregory,
Is there any update on this issue? Users of my app are unable to upload files from Dropbox at the moment, while other services like Google Drive working fine. The only way for me to fix this is to add a permission prompt to my app specifically for Dropbox.
One of the great benefits of using the file picker in Android Marshmallow is that you can share files safely between apps without having to grant permissions that would allow apps to have access to more files than are necessary. It would be great if Dropbox returned a URI using the content:// scheme so that users don't have to deal with unnecessary permission prompts.
Thanks!
