Why doesn't Dropbox show up in my document browser?

When I open my Files app, I see the standard options (iCloud Drive, On my iPhone, Recently Deleted) plus a few cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox, Quip)

When I create a new Document Based App, I see the standard options + only Google Drive

 

This is after hitting ... -> Edit, so Dropbox isn't just hidden. There's no way to access it in my app.


Is there something I need to customize in my app to make Dropbox show up using the Document Browser?

    Hi Nick-Kleinschmidt, thanks for messaging today!

     

    Just to clarify, are you creating a new document in an app, or are you creating a new app yourself using the Dropbox API and don’t see an option to select Dropbox?

     

    Keep me posted!
