Dropbox should respond to Android Intent.ACTION_SEND
My android app uses the code below to allow users to back up an important file. A number of applications, including Google Drive, appear as suitable services to handle the file, but Dropbox does not appear, even though it offers the same functionality as Google Drive. Could you please change Dropbox so that it appears and my users can access it in this way?
File F = new File(sdPath);
if(F.exists()){
Uri U = Uri.fromFile(F);
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("file/*");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, U);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i,"Email/Upload '" + filename + "'"));
}

Hi everyone, we've landed a fix for this that should be out in early June. Thank you for your patience!
Is the fix out yet? We are sharing image/png together with an extra text that contains a link to our app. I'd expect Dropbox to ignore the text and upload the image..

Hi Gil, this issue has been resolved on our 10.2 release which should be out to the Play Store by next week.
Hey, same deal here with our app FlipaClip on Android. I'm not sure who is here DropBox dev but I assume Antonio? If that's the case version 10.2? I see on GooglePlay 8.2.4.
We are using:
public static void share (Context context, String subject, String message, String title, Uri data, String mime)
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// Add data to the intent, the receiving app will decide what to do with it.
if (null != subject)
{
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
}
if (null != message)
{
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
}
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, title);
intent.setType(mime);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, data);
Intent newShareIntent = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share with");
newShareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(newShareIntent);
