Thanks, Gregory. I've decided to play it safe and not use any imagery too closely associated with Dropbox.

My app is currently under review for production. What kinds of violations are apps usually rejected for? I'm particularly concerned about 1.2b of Dropbox's terms and conditions:

"use, display, mirror, frame (including in meta-tags or hidden text), or reverse engineer Dropbox websites, or any individual element of Dropbox websites, or the layout and design of any page or form contained on a page"

My app adds another item on the context menu when you right click a dropbox folder online. It does not otherwise impact the page. It's added in the context menu for ease of use, and I believe it enhances the online user interface.
