iOS Document Picker greyed out

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/view_controllers/providing_access_to_directories

let documentPicker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: [kUTTypeFolder as String], in: .open)
documentPicker.delegate = self
present(documentPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

I cannot select Dropbox (or Google Drive...). 

Does anyone have a solution for this?

  • The Dropbox document picker doesn't support opening folders, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

      I would like to request this feature as well - I am unable to sync folders of files in most applications and it would be really helpful to be able to do so!

      Ok, no problem. Thanks for the reply, at least I can stop spending time trying to get this to work :)

        I too would like to add a request for this feature; it would vastly increase the utility of Dropbox for me on iOS, as a user, and as a developer of apps that provide file management utilities.
