Filename case lost when choosing files from my iOS app

mister funk

I'm developing an app that uses standard iOS APIs (specifically UIDocumentPickerViewController) to open files including those from a user's Dropbox, if installed.

The filename URL I receive is always lower case for files that are mixed case in Dropbox. If I save the file it does sync back correctly using its mixed case name, but I want to display the filename in a Recent Files list. Unfortunately the list doesn't exactly match the user's expectation.

I don't see this behaviour in other file provider apps. For example, when I pick a file from Microsoft OneDrive, the case is preserved.

Is it a known bug in the iOS Dropbox app?

This isn't related to the (server-side) Dropbox API, so I can't offer much help with this here, but if you open a ticket with the relevant details (e.g., the specific steps and code you're using when you see this issue, and a sample of the unexpected output) we can direct that to the relevant department.
