I set up Roksbox for Dropbox on my Roku recently and it doesn’t use Dropbox “share controls” the way older guides describe—there’s nothing to toggle in Sharing for this. It connects via Dropbox authorization (OAuth): in the Roksbox channel go to Options → My Options → Setup Wizard → Dropbox, it should show an on-screen code and send you to an authorization page to log into Dropbox and approve access. After you approve, Roksbox can browse/stream your files; a Plus subscription is already enough, upgrading won’t unlock extra “share settings” for this use case. If you’re stuck, double-check you installed the Roksbox for Dropbox channel (not the local-server one) and confirm in Dropbox Settings → Connected apps that Roksbox/Wilddtech shows up—if it’s not there, the authorization step never completed.
