That is where you are wrong.
Just like gallery-app can be a file picker, so can a file manager be. Like cm's file manager is.
Or it can be something else entirely, like a dropbox frontend. You've just got to have a little bit more imagination ;)
In Android, 3rd parties don't need to integrate, the OS does it for them via intents. That's the number one thing which makes the OS so flexible and exciting.
