Dropbox StaffI can't offer help with using the Android/Java File class itself unfortunately, as that's not made by Dropbox. I recommend referring to the documentation for that, or looking for Android samples or asking on a more general programming resource, e.g., StackOverflow.
You can see when the Dropbox Android app is updated here:

I'll make a note to follow up on this thread when that's done though.

The Dropbox Chooser now correctly returns local file links again for ResultType.FILE_CONTENT as of the latest version of the official Dropbox Android app, v114.
