Enable ipadOS Dropbox app for Apple Vision Pro

Dropbox had to explicitly deny iPadOS app from installation on AVP as iPadOS apps are compatible and enabled by default. More than a year later and Dropbox still continues to keep the app blocked....

Exactly - we want a 'dropbox' line item in the Files app just like on our MacBooks or iPads or a Dropbox app, just like on our iPads, so we can save files to our Dropboxes, open files from our Dropboxes -- like we do on any other platform.  No ones gives a rip about it being a 'VR experience' with their files, we just want our files.  

Given that all iPad apps are compatible with Apple Vision Pro by default and the app developer has to actively *opt out* of AVP this is willful, premeditated action on Dropbox's part to prevent users for using their product.  I'd really love to know why.

Dropbox for love of everything just enable your EXISTING iPadOS app for AVP.  It's a single checkbox.
