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!

I'm creating a new iOS app using Apple's SDK. I have Dropbox installed on my device, but haven't integrated the Dropbox SDK into my app. Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Document-based app following Apple's instructions - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/view_controllers/adding_a_document_browser_to_your_app/setting_up_a_document_browser_app
2. Launch it on iPhone
3. See iCloud and Google Drive working automatically in my app, don't see Dropbox
4. Navigate to root of the document browser, tap ... -> Edit, verify that Dropbox isn't present
5. Quit my new app and open the Files app, verify that Dropbox is present
