Hi, this is not an issue with our apps. Dropbox crashes before Android even asks for which app to send it to. You can see that from ori's stack trace. It does not contain any symbol other than Android and Dropbox.

 

The issue is that Dropbox tries to export a Uri with a "file" scheme. If you look at the documentation for FileUriExposedException, it explains that for apps targeting N, that exception is thrown, and the app needs to be changed to export a "content" scheme. The app exporting the Uri is Dropbox. Dropbox needs to be fixed.
