Dropbox Chooser allows invalid extensions using Upload option

My QS team is testing an application that utilizes the Dropbox chooser. We have the option set to allow only certain file extensions, but they've found that if they select "Upload" with the widget open, and upload a file with an invalid file type, they are allowed to choose it.

    Thanks for the report! This is a known issue, though I unfortunately don't have a timeline for a fix.

    1. Open your project in Xcode.
    2. Navigate to where you downloaded the SDK and drag the DBChooser.framework and DBChooser.bundle folders into your project in Xcode.
    3. A confirmation dialog will pop up. Make sure Copy items ... is selected, then press Finish.
