Unfortunately, the Dropbox iOS Chooser is deprecated and no longer receiving updates, so we can't offer support for it. We recommend migrating to a different option. Please refer to the documentation for more information. Apologies I can't be of more help in that regard!

Thanks for confirming this. One of the recommended alternatives is to use UIDocumentBrowserViewController or UIDocumentPickerViewController. With the latter, we can possibly pass a `directoryURL` to give the user a specific folder to pick from, which might be useful if we can pass in the Dropbox folder. But is there a way to access the user's Dropbox folder (if connected to iCloud Drive)?

    I'm afraid Dropbox doesn't have any official support resources or documentation for those as those interfaces are made by Apple, so I can't offer guidance on those. I recommend referring to Apple's resources regarding those interfaces for information on the options they offer.
