One of the workflows we were hoping to achieve with drop box was allowing our various reporting servers to automatically upload files to drop box so the team can access them. Since we can't share the app folder this workflow is completely impossible as giving the app complete dropbox access is a security issue.
The old (very poor) work around I've seen so far is creating a share link for the entire apps folder and giving that out to colleagues. But that is both a very poor user experience and has it's own security issues as we then can't segregate access to data from different servers.
Basically, drop box is useless for this and we have to stick with emailing the files :/
