This topic is generally meant for the Dropbox API, so as this question isn't related to Dropbox API, it might not be the best place for help with this, which is more about iOS APIs.

That said, I believe the Dropbox for iOS app does support both the old "Open In" behavior, as well as the newer iOS 8 share extensions. For example, just setting up (and not otherwise editing) a share extension using the share extension template in Xcode in a new project makes that app's extension show in the Dropbox app for me:

Likewise, I do see other share extensions from other third party apps in that share panel in the Dropbox app on an actual device. Unfortunately, this is outside my area of expertise but hopefully that will help get you started.
