let documentPicker = UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: [kUTTypeFolder as String], in: .open)
documentPicker.delegate = self
present(documentPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

I cannot select Dropbox (or Google Drive...). 

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Hi, I think there has been a misunderstanding.


It does not refer to the Dropbox Document Picker but to the iOS one. The bug occurs since iOS 13 when you use UIDocumentPickerViewController with UTTypeFolder, that is, to select a folder. But it is impossible to select anything in Dropbox, Google Drive, etc ... With other types for files such as UTTypePDF, UTTypeJPEG... access is allowed.


I know you can't do anything about it but if you could open a bug report in Apple maybe they will listen to you more.
