Extending dropbox "Open with" menu with custom option

[iyushchuk]

Hello everyone!

I want to add a new button to the dropbox "Open with" dropdown. It should send selected file to my application. I have browsed documentation and didn't find a solution how to do this. Can you please help me, if it is possible at all?

Kind regards

Hi @iyushchuk,

This is strongly dependent on the platform you take in mind. For example: for Android would be enough, for example, to include appropriate filter entry to your application Intent filter.

Hope this gives some direction.

@iyushchuk Are you referring to the "Open with" functionality on the Dropbox web site in particular? Right now, this is only available to select partners chosen by Dropbox, and I can't make any promises as to if/when it would be made publicly available. I've sent this along as a request to make this more generally available in the future.

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to let you know that the Dropbox "Extensions" feature is now publicly available. You can find information on it here:
