Hi,
Love Dropbox! Are you going to support Storage Access Framework?

Dropbox Community Moderatortfrysinger We can't provide any absolute guarantee of compliance based on a description like this, so you should be sure to review all the guidelines and terms before developing code to use the Dropbox API:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/tos
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/branding
Apps are reviewed for compliance during their production review.
That said, it sounds like you're just using the official API and are not attempting to mislead users, so I wouldn't expect any issues.
As far as I understood, Dropbox doesn't support
So, what's the official way to use files from Dropbox while on Android? A custom picker UI + the official SDK?

Dropbox doesn't supply their own DocumentsProvider implementation that integrates with the SAF, but they do have a plethora of APIs to use if you want to roll your own. That's what I did.
My DocumentsProvider uses those APIs to implement the methods that the SAF calls. I based it off of an article Ian Lake wrote some time ago, located here: https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/building-a-documentsprovider-f7f2fb38e86a. There are some tricky parts to this (correctly implementing threading to deal with directories that have lots of entries, getting media metadata in a performant manner, etc.), but you can search StackOverflow for posts from me and see how I solved many of them.
Cool, thanks a lot! Leaving your question and answers here for other thread's readers:
