Dropbox Extensions - Is it possible to create/publish a Dropbox Extension?

I'm currently assigned to create a Dropbox Extension.

I read the Dropbox API documentation. I created a Business trial account (Advance). However, there was nothing about the submission/publishing of extensions.

I also stumbled upon the Dropbox Partners Portal and successfully registered a Tech Partner Account for the company I'm working in. Unfortunately, I also did not found anything about the extensions.

I think this portal is not maintained anymore because:

General, Marketing, and Technical resources are not available. (even the Welcoming Resources also does not exist)
The copyright year in the footer also displays 2017.
There is no KYC, or some kind of evaluation process to verify if the information given is authentic.

I could be wrong though, maybe there's an article or an announcement about this which I have not read yet.

So is this new feature only for companies chosen by Dropbox?

Will this ever be open to the public submissions/publishing?

Or maybe this is already open to the public and I'm just looking in the wrong places?

Hey Sean_Q, I moved your post here; perhaps some like-minded community members will have some more ideas to share on this with you.

In the meantime, I’d also recommend checking this thread out for some info that you may find helpful. Thanks!
