Full source on GitHub

Downloading of individual files and folders (as of now, just one at a time).
Uploading of files up to 150MB in size, including from the SD card.
Deleting and renaming files and folders.
Creating folders.
Creating temporary (4-hour) links to files.
Choosing a custom download folder location on the device.
Previewing images in context menu (formats supported are jpg/jpeg/png/tiff/tif/gif/webp/ppm/bmp).

No sorting of files or folders apart from sorting obtained directly from the API output (appears to be by modified date, oldest to newest, with folders generally on top but not always).
If downloading a file and uploading at the same time, progress bars at bottom of screen may not render properly. Upload progress bar sometimes stays visible after transfer completed; app restart will allow for continued uploading.
Reauthorization still not working with all requests, e.g. uploading or downloading a file/folder. Workaround is to refresh folder and retry.

Tap to download files or open folders, press-and-hold to open context menu. This can be switched around in Settings.
To upload, choose 'Upload' from the pull-down menu and select the local file. It'll be saved in the currently viewed Dropbox folder.
To refresh a folder listing, swipe back and then reselect the folder, or if in the Home folder, choose 'Refresh' from the pull-down menu.
When renaming a file or folder, Enter key will send request.
When creating a 4-hour link to a file, the URL will be copied to the clipboard.
If a custom download folder location is unavailable when attempting a download, the app will revert to using the default Downloads folder until the relevent setting is changed again.

Search.
Sorting by name / modified / added.
Showing full filename when menu opened or having multiple lines for filenames when listed.

Good to have a native app with an interface consistent with Ambience, while working to further reduce the need for Android Support.
