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