Integrate Dropbox app in my app

So, this is the task I want to achieve. In my app, I have a text field which displays a list of all the apps and files that are present in my iOS device. One of them will be dropbox. When I tap on drop box, it should open the dropbox app and ask for user credentials. Once the user enters his credentials, it should save them and it shouldn't ask the next time he logs in again. Now, in that textbox that I mentioned earlier, I should get the list of the files that are there in my dropbox folder.

I'm new to iOS app development stuff so any help in the form of links, documentation will help alot. Please give me a brief idea on how to achieve this task.

What you are proposing violates the sandboxing principle of iOS. Apps don't know about anything outside their own documents folder, and do not have permission to read or write outside the area.

Files stored in Dropbox are accessible via the Dropbox API, so you will be able to achieve that part of your design, but most of the other apps on the device will not be visible or accessible to you.

Since you said links:

Tutorial Links

Dropbox Links

You should consider using Table Views to show your data instead of Text Fields.

Apple Documentation on Table Views:

Good luck with this!
