This is idiotic.  It would be super simple to have either a folder/file list in the connected apps settings, or an ability to add connected apps at the folder/file sharing settings.  If I want some company out of god-knows-where to drop files in a folder through their app, why would I give them access to all my data in Dropbox?  I guess the workaround is to create a 2nd free account for a particular app, doesn't seem efficient.
