Url scheme for a dropbox folder

Hi, Is there anyway for me to go to the dropbox app directly and opening a folder  from another app. ?

Basically, lets say I have a button in my ios app which on click should open dropbox app with a particular folder contents listed. 

The dbapi-2:// helps go to dropbox, but anyway to go to the folder directly? 


thank you.

    You referred to your iOS app, and having it open the Dropbox app. That would likely involve using the Dropbox API, so I moved your post to the API forum so the appropriate people in Dropbox will see it.

    Hi Shivkanth, that's not currently possible, but I'm passing this along as a feature request.
