That's not really a platform that Dropbox would develop for. Their core business is file synchronization and collaboration. They rarely develop specialized apps, and the few that they've created (or acquired) are often discontinued in short order. Your best option is to use one of the third-party apps that can connect to…

ColoMtnWoman wrote:How do I get rid of the File Explorer extensions that keep showing up. I have no use for them and they just take up space: Dropbox doesn't have an option to remove the context menu entries. There are unofficial ways to do it, mentioned in these forums, but they'll return the next time Dropbox is updated.
