Sync files between Apps

And yes, if you instead used a full Dropbox app, it would have access to the full contents of the account, including app folders. There isn't a better way to accomplish this unfortunately.

Hey Greg,
They both use App folder permission.
I'm thinking about creating another Dropbox App that has full access (I assume it has access to the Apps folders, correct?). That way they chould chooes any folder they want.
Please let me know if there's any better method to do this.
Thanks!
