Chose Default apps
Allow the user to choose which app they want to open a file in - for example PDF expert instead of only adobe PDF

Hey PDH, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
You should be able to choose the default apps for previewing your files through our website.
For example, if you navigate to a PDF file in your account on our website and try to preview it, you'll get the option to open it with a variety of 3rd party app integrations which you can find in the App Center.
Let me know if you had something else in mind!

I think he means Dropbox iPad app. I strongly support the idea of a pdf viewer choice, say for annotations.

That's typically something controlled by an operating system, not another application, so it would be Apple or Google that would need to implement something like that.
