Sharing of folders inside the Apps/ folder

I try to avoid +1 pile ons, but I think there's some nuance that's been overlooked in the previous explanations on why this is valuable for various use cases. From the very first benefit statement at the top of the homepage:

"Get to all your files from anywhere, on any device, and share them with anyone."

There needs to be a really big asterisk on that now. My most fundamental expectation of Dropbox is that I can share the files saved on it. And it's a completely broken expectation with these 3rd party integrations. All of the ones I've previously used are now basically worthless to me because their value was riding on an assumption that if/when needed I'd be able to easily share the files (e.g., the iStockphoto integration mentioned previously, every markdown editor on my iDevice, anything that uses Dropbox /Apps folder as a replacement for iCloud).

As an integrator I'm also pretty annoyed (to put it mildly) that I've wasted months refining a Dropbox workflow with this glaring omission feature support. As per the best practices of "use the minimum permissions you need", this limitation should be pointed out as a huge flashing caveat in the documentation (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference). It's not even mentioned once.
