Here are my current Dropbox pet peeves:

- You can't share an arbitrary folder with someone, only a top-level one

- You can't share app folders

- App folders are buried in the Apps folder (duh). So, you can't use an arbitrary one with an app

Does this address any of these? I think all three issues could be really elegantly solved like this: do away with the concept of an app folder, and similarly with the top-level sharing restriction. Instead, give me an access control dialog for any folder. This would let me share with both apps and other users.

You can share any folder arbitrarily deep. What we do not allow is sharing subfolders of already-shared folders.

> You can't share app folders

We plan to remove this restriction in the coming months.

> App folders are buried in the Apps folder

We are exploring how to better handle App folders, but the sharing API will not address this.

> This would let me share with both apps and other users.

Great point. Note that apps with full Dropbox or file type access already can share data with each other, just not two apps with only App Folder permission.

Are there specific (App Folder) apps you wish to share content between?

I'm a huge fan of Braces (http://braces.io/). It solves the how-do-I-get-my-site-files served problem perfectly. But I'm also a huge fan of Dropbox sharing, and it's sad that I can't collaborate on my Braces sites with my friends.

Brace.io dev here. We're working on Brace Teams which provides collaboration features (and currently requires full dropbox access). We would be happy to let you try it out. I'll send you an email.

Also you linked to our not-so-secret staging site. We'll be putting up access restriction there soon. Please use http://brace.io.

you'll be able to soon! Cole is very happy as well!

This is great news.
