    The Dropbox Chooser is for having the user select file(s) from their Dropbox accounts to share to your app. It doesn't support choosing the user's entire root/home folder.

    If you want to save files from your app to users' Dropbox accounts, you should use the Dropbox Saver instead; with that, users can save the supplied files to their root if they wish to.
