Hi

How to select dropbox root/home folder from chooser?

Let say i have to save some file to home. For doing this i am selecting a location for the destination folder.

Currently I am getting error "User root folder cant be choosen".

The Dropbox Chooser is for having the user select file(s) from their Dropbox accounts to share to your app. It doesn't support choosing the user's entire root/home folder.

If you want to save files from your app to users' Dropbox accounts, you should use the Dropbox Saver instead; with that, users can save the supplied files to their root if they wish to.

Need more support?
