iOS Dropbox Application - My application not appearing in dropbox "share with" options.
Hello,
This is my first post in this forum so please pardon me if its posted in an incorrect category/topic. Below is my question.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the quick reply. Adding support for this would mean that my application behaves as an "viewer" or "editor" for the file. This is similar to "Open In" behavior on iOS based devices. But we dont want to support that. What we are trying to achieve here is sharing the file or link (to the file) using the new "Share Extension" functionality added in iOS 8. To explain it better, take a look at below example:
- Go to Photos on any iOS device running iOS 8 and above.
- Select a photo and select the share icon (a box with an arrow pointing upwards).
- This will open a share sheet from where the user can decide on how they want to share the file.
- You will see a list of applications that appear here depending upon the applications that you have installed. But in most cases you will see "Messages", "Mail", "Facebook" and "Twitter". In this list a third party application can also appear if it supports share extension (which my application does).
I was under impression that the latest Dropbox application supports sharing using above behavior. But it seems that dropbox application still supports sharing using the old behavior of document types.
Regards,
Bhavik
