Lol, it's sad to see how far Dropbox has gone from the idea of a folder that syncs.
I recently had the unhappy experience of trying to share a picture that I'd saved to Dropbox from my Android phone. After noticing that I can now leave comments on my files (?), I discovered that the "Share" button, which on every other app on Android means I can just choose the App to share with, does not operate like that.
No, from the special snowflake Dropbox app you need to choose an email address to which it will presumably email a link url to the file. No, Dropbox, I want to share a file using another app, just like any other file in a folder on my phone.
Eventually I figured out that "Export" is what you need - deliberately hidden to force lock-in for unsavvy users. I understand why they do it, but the quora answer you quoted is now hilariously dated.
So, shut up. The Dropbox app on Android does not operate like a folder on Android.
