I don't believe we currently export that activity, so calling into it from other apps isn't currently supported, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

If you want to interact with files directly via the Dropbox servers (e.g., to edit by downloading and uploading new versions), you can use the Dropbox API. We have an official Android SDK here:
