Built for SFOS v4.6 or later.

Full source on GitHub

Downloading of individual files and folders (as of now, just one at a time).
Search entire Dropbox or just the currently viewed folder with up to 100 results.
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 in the list view, however there is search functionality to locate files quickly.
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 should work automatically with all requests but if uploading a file when access has expired, note that the upload of the file will need to be completed again after reauthorization.

Tap to download files or open folders, press-and-hold to open context menu. This can be switched around in Settings.
To search, swipe right-to-left in any folder list view. There's an option to only search within the current folder (to include subfolders).
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.

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

Added Search. Swipe right-to-left to access from any folder. Optionally search only in the folder currently open.
Listed items expand to multiple lines to accommodate longer file and folder names when context menu is opened.
Better support for automatic reauthorization (token refresh) which should now work with all request types.

Version 0.4.1 - 2025-02-03

Fixed bug that kept Upload menu item greyed-out when it should have been re-enabled after the completion of an upload.
Fixed a minor bug that showed 'Save files to the Downloads folder' option unchecked in Settings upon initial use when it should be checked as default.
Typos (mine) that prevented some translated strings from being displayed properly have been corrected. Thanks to both eson57 and Legacychimera247

Version 0.3.1 - 2024-12-15

Switched from WebView to the native browser for the initial authorization flow.
Improved formatting of file sizes in Context Menu.
Fixed bug that left user in last folder viewed and unable to swipe back, if they had deauthorized and reauthorized without closing the app.
