This has something to do with in app purchases not allowed by Apple. Read here more about it: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=59350 http://www.techspot.com/news/48425-apple-rejects-dropbox-apps-companies-working-to-resolve-differences.html Best of luck!

I am assuming that they will come to some kind of agreement... or hoping at least as it is a cool function Comments Hi Vali Thanks for the heads up. I read that too...

Anyway, integrating the SDK is a real headache if you are using the Buzztouch method. You need to delve right into the .m and .h files to get it to work. I assume that you want to share certain files so that the user can save them to his/her dropbox account? If yes then I have a method for doing that in v2.1 of my app (which is currently still getting tweaked in Xcode before submitting to Apple later tonight). To share a pdf doc. 1. show the pdf doc using the webview screen and for the nav bar options choose Right NavBar Button "SAVE" 2. Configure the Nav Bar button (Save) to open a custom URL screen. 3. Configure the Custom URL screen to load the dropbox link URL for the file you wish to share. 4. The user is presented with the option to save to dropbox. It only seems to work if you put the file (on dropbox) in a folder and get the link URL to that folder. Use this link to view screen shots of how this works with my app. http://db.tt/UDEER8aF Hope that's of use Comments Hi, don't know if you are still interested in the Dropbox SDK..

I may hit you up in the future for a more detailed tutorial! Mark Comments That's pretty sweet! I can think of some good uses for this. I may hit you up in the future for a more detailed tutorial!

The dropbox URL is also rendered nicely for mobile browsers.
