Does Dropbox support the UIDocumentPickerModeOpen mode in iOS 8?

So Dropbox seems to have special integrations with Microsoft and Adobe but does not support newer Apple technologies. The lack of size classes (i.e. No slide over or split screen. Apple has given years to developers to be ready for these features) and integration with the document picker definitely gives me pause in using their services. They just shed Carousel and Mailbox, I hope that means their native apps will be getting lots of improvements, maybe? 

Dropbox, Apple made document handling tough for a long time on iOS. Now that they finally give an option to work and save-in-place, I don't get why you, as a service, wouldn't be first in line to support this. It's baffling to me. 

I agree, this is really annoying. After all, Dropbox is all about easy syncing - and that's exactly what's missing on iOS. This should have been one of the first features to implement when iOS received document provider support.

This has led me to move most of the files that I'm actively working on to other providers. Anecdotally, many people I've heard from are doing the same. Why the lack of traction on this feature that's been possible to implement for 1.5 years? Dropbox is the only major cloud storage provider left.

Any news about this feature request?

All other major cloud storage services support this now. Dropbox is the only one that forces iOS users to export or "open in" documents and thereby creating duplicates each time.

I've already moved my office documents to another cloud provider and I plan to move all my files if DB hasn't implemented this correctly by end of march when my pro subscription will expire.

Me too, I don't get why Dropbox wasn't the first to implement this feature.

To be honest, no one except Box is doing this, or doing it correctly. OneDrive tries but it doesn't actually save the file, even though you can reopen it and see the changes applied. Maybe it's opening a cached version?

Overall, Dropbox has the best features (except for the only 1TB option – I would like a 200 or 500gb one), and since I'm getting 18 months of service thanks to my ISP, I'm signing up, but I would put this feature at the very top of my feature request list.

it's a pathetic money grubbing ploy from a company who cares less about its customers than cutting invasive deals with microsoft.

I agree with the comments above - I've paid for a year of dropbox pro, and if this functionality isn't added but the time it's come to renew my subscription, I will be moving my business elsewhere.  

I would like to use Textastic for development purposes on my iPad and this feature is extremely important to me.  I find it sad that the most popular cloud storage platform, Dropbox, does not support this feature when Box, Google Drive, and iCloud all do.  iOS does not support a native file system, but if dropbox would implement this feature, that would no longer be an issue for me. Please take care of it as soon as you can

I would really appreciate it if Dropbox provided us with a status update on this issue.

Hi Dropbox team, i would also love to have this implemented. Please give us a status update on the Topic!
