      <description>&lt;P&gt;Tried on Android Os 4.4, and above, if using Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT the android's file picker lists&amp;nbsp;Google drives, Google Photos, Dropbox, etc. If using&amp;nbsp;Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, there just are no apps (like Dropbox, Photos etc.) in the file picker's drawer except only&amp;nbsp;Google Drive.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;How to list the Dropbox in Android's file picker drawer if using Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;code snippet of using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT and ACTION_GET_CONTENT are listed below:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;SPAN class="typ"&gt;Intent&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="pln"&gt; openIntent &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="pun"&gt;=&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;SPAN class="kwd"&gt;new&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;SPAN class="typ"&gt;Intent&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="pun"&gt;(&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="typ"&gt;Intent&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="pun"&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="pln"&gt;ACTION_GET_CONTENT&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="pun"&gt;);&lt;/SPAN&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;see&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT" target="_blank"&gt;ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;is&amp;nbsp;intent and to get&amp;nbsp;the files returned by document providers. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Document provider&lt;/STRONG&gt;—A content provider that allows a storage service (such as Google Drive) to reveal the files it manages. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;So when using the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT the Dropbox should be listed in the picker. Why it does not?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Thanks for the post! The Dropbox Android app doesn't implement ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It would be great if the Dropbox app supported ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, as well as ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT and ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE, along with&amp;nbsp;FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION for persistent access to a folder (or file) in Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This would be extremely useful for allowing other apps to read and write files in Dropbox locally, and let the Dropbox app handle syncing the data (rather than each individual app via the SDK).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is there any progress on supporting/enabling this functionality from Dropbox. We were expecting to have Dropbox option in the app we're developing.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Upcoming Android 10 &lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/?hl=ru" target="_self"&gt;will force&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;all apps to use&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider" target="_self"&gt;storage access framework&lt;/A&gt; for reading/writting files even on the local storage for the privacy reason.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;May be it's&amp;nbsp;a good reason for Dropbox now to support this functionality.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now Dropbox can interact and "being supported" by wide range of the apps, which will have to implement interation using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider" target="_self"&gt;storage access framework&lt;/A&gt;. &amp;nbsp;By implementing&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider" target="_self"&gt;storage access framework&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;api Dropbox will be present in the common "pick file" system dialog and thus will be accessible for many apps for interaction. For this you need to handle intents&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does it makes sense for you?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Alexii&lt;/P&gt;</description>
