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!

RosemaryOrchard Thanks for the feedback!
Please please please make this work. It can't be more than a dozen lines of code, and you'll be able to say you beat those as*holes over at Google Docs to the punch. You're better and more intelligent and definitely more sexy that Google.
Ok, no problem. Thanks for the reply, at least I can stop spending time trying to get this to work :)
Hi, I think there has been a misunderstanding.
It does not refer to the Dropbox Document Picker but to the iOS one. The bug occurs since iOS 13 when you use UIDocumentPickerViewController with UTTypeFolder, that is, to select a folder. But it is impossible to select anything in Dropbox, Google Drive, etc ... With other types for files such as UTTypePDF, UTTypeJPEG... access is allowed.
I know you can't do anything about it but if you could open a bug report in Apple maybe they will listen to you more.- Greg-DB
tomeumasco Thanks for the note. I'll share this with the team.
