Hi Kenneth,

Dropbox uses FileSystemProvider API [1], so it doesn't actually mount on the physical FS.

If you need access to Dropbox files outside browser or Chrome OS UI it has to be a FR on Chrome OS. You can open a feature request here [2], component "Platform>Apps>FileManager". I would be interested in your use case.

And since I'm here... thanks for requests lib! :-D

Cheers.

The Chromium developers do seem to be working on allowing mounts on the physical filesystem. See issue 896964. You can help make it a priority by starring the issue.
