Could you apply to become a Cloud media provider for Android?
Not sure if this fits to the "Integrations" Category, but yeah, change it if you feel like it's wrong.

Is there any changes / developments regarding the issue?
Maybe there is a way to manually register Dropbox to that specific menu (mentioned above) from our side but we're not aware of it? Do you have any info at all?

Knowing Dropbox they wont release any information until its ready to go and or happened - if they ever decide to do it.... of which of course there is no requirement to do so - this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this even requested.
Dropbox are very closed lipped on future plans (think Paper 2020 release which still is ongoing.....!) as they often miss deadlines etc.

I agree it sounds a tiny little bit weird to ask about Dropbox's "future dev plans" 🙂 , but this is also what press / media does, right? You seeing this sort of approach first time doesn't mean it's completely absurd or unacceptable. We - users - media (or whatever) ask questions, you answer, that's why there is this forum, don't marginalize this like "I've never seen such a thing like this", that is not the way how you should be doing your job.
All I wanted to know if Dropbox had an intention or even if it is possible for Dropbox to take part in this cloud media thing, because I wanted to use a functionality of this photo picker thing, since it'd increase how I work. So, if users like me also explore usage of this kind of thing, you may gain new users, right? Meaning Dropbox earning more money, right? Weird that I had to explain this like this, like I'm explaining it to 6 years old kid.

No I get why people do it - no need to be rude and patronising about it. I'm also not an employee - I'm justs somebody who has been around here since Dropbox was in beta.
However, what I'm saying was more a heads up of dont be offended if the thread is just closed or ignored. Dropbox dont release plans. They almost certainly wont say if they have an intention to take part. They will announce it if and when a beta comes along.

Ah, sorry then Mark . I thought you were employed by Dropbox.
I wasn't patronizing btw, just I couldn't understand a reply like yours telling "I have never seen such a thing like this" coming from a community manager or relevent titled employee; which is not the case here. Thanks for the heads up. I was just trying to have Dropbox do something about this issue, make people aware existance of such thing. If more users demand this, I might have better chance seeing this feature in close feature, perhaps.
